With more than fourteen thousand eating establishments covering seventy different ethnic cuisines, Houston is a foodie town. But even in a place where eating out is a way of life and restaurants come and go, there were some iconic spots that earned a special place in the hearts and stomachs of locals. Maxim's taught overnight millionaires how to handle meals that came with three forks. The Trader Vic's at the Shamrock offered dedicated homebodies a chance for the exotic, and Sonny Look's Sirloin Inn maintained the reputation of a city of steakhouses. From Alfred's Delicatessen to Youngblood's Fried Chicken, Paul and Christiane Galvani celebrate the stories and recipes of Houston's fondly remembered tastemakers.

About the Author
Galvani, Paul: - Paul Galvani was born in London into an Italian family, the many branches of which were all in the restaurant business. He grew up in and was involved in all aspects of the business. He owes his love of food to his mother and his father, both of whom were great cooks. After graduating from Queen Mary College, London, with his BA in modern languages, he moved to Houston in 1978. In 1980, he graduated with his MBA in marketing from the University of Houston. Upon graduating, he spent five years in the oil field services industry, but the food biz beckoned. In 1984, he went to work for Riviana Foods Inc., the largest marketers of rice and pasta in the United States, where he heads up the marketing department.
Soon after graduation, Paul became an adjunct professor of the marketing department of the Bauer School of Business at the University of Houston, where he still teaches today. He began writing about food and restaurants in 1997 for the Houston Press and subsequently for The Paper City magazine, as well as Fort Bend Lifestyles magazine, the Houston Chronicle, Edible Houston, Houstonia magazine and Culture Map. Paul is the author of Houston's Top 100 Food Trucks, published in 2014.
An intrepid foodie, there is nothing Paul enjoys more than discovering a hole-in-the-wall place that serves remarkable food. He lives in Sugar Land, Texas, with his wife, Christiane, and daughter, Jacqueline.
Christiane Galvani, born in Kiel, Germany, is a professional translator, court-licensed interpreter for the State of Texas and an adjunct professor at the Houston Community College with more than thirty years of experience of teaching English to foreign students. As a result of becoming acquainted with students from around the world and her childhood as an "Exxon brat," living and traveling throughout the world, she learned to appreciate the cuisines and cultures of various countries.
When she was in her early twenties, she had the good fortune to marry into a loving Italia
