I suppose every family has their favorite flavor and color of snow cones. These are our favorites. Photo taken at Barton Springs Park in Austin, Texas.

New Zion Missionary Baptist Church BBQ
Posted: April 20, 2013 in RestaurantsTags: Baptist Church, Barbeque, BBQ, Food, Houston, Huntsville, Restaurant, Texas, United States
When I lived in Huntsville, Texas, I would make it a point to stop by New Zion Missionary Baptist Church for BBQ. Even today, I make the 70 mile trek from Houston. The workers, filled with the spirit of the Lord, are always helpful and friendly. The plates are served up with generous portions and the meat is always tender. You will not find a website, nor a menu online, because the place is small, but the BBQ is SUPER and the staff is OUTSTANDING! Then again if you’re looking for a modern, upscale feel, and urban vibe, you might hate it. This place if for spirited people with a down home love for BBQ.
The hours- Open Thur-Sat 11 am-6 pm
Location- 2601 Montgomery Rd, Huntsville, Texas 77341
Phone number- 936-294-0884.
New Zion Missionary Baptist Church which I call, “The Home Of The Immaculate BBQ.”

The BoardWalk Bullet

The BoardWalk Bullet is located in Kemah, Texas at the Kemah Boardwalk. With the closure of Astroworld, Houston’s only amusement park, it looked as if we would be a major metropolitan city without a roller coaster. Today, within 26 miles of downtown Houston, we have a wooden beast that is slightly bigger than the old Texas Cyclone at Astroworld. The bullet ratttles and rolls as it hits banked curves, steep drops, a camel back type hills. When looking at the coaster it looks as if there is not much to it, but the wooden beams hide much of the track. Once you are riding it quickly become obvious that you have entered a great coaster.

Ragin Cajun

Houston has a restaurant that can make your feel as if your right home in Southern Louisiana Cajun Country. This restaurant is known as Ragin Cajun. Ragin Cajun serves some of the best po-boys, red beans and rice, boudin balls, gumbo, etouffe, jambalaya, crawfish, shrimp, blue crabs, and oysters on the half-shell around. The accordion’s sing out of the speakers as Cajun music is played. The tables inside are linked together, so you get a community feel, and often find yourself talking to complete strangers. Unless your related to the Scrooge, your tongue should dance to the flavors of Ragin Cajun. For more information visit http://www.ragin-cajun.com/
