Last time I was there was almost 20 years ago, back when real estate
splashed and I lost my ass. Then it was mostly BBQ in town and Shrimp
along the coast. So there is a China Town now? I remember only one
Chinese Market, which had great duck. But Dim Sum was frozen in boxes in
freezer cases. <g> 

Do they still have that chili / cheese dog place behind the Galleria,
where they piped cheeze whiz over head in the production line? Damnest
thing you ever saw. They had snakey hoses hanging down with trigger
valves. The server would pull one, grab the handle and warm liquid
cheese whiz would squirt onto the chili dog with careful aim. After a
minute or two it would morph into the semi solid state that you would
expect Cheese Whiz to be in. They sold at least a thousand dogs a day
there.  

There was one really good restaurant right off of Montrose, where Paul
Williams was the chef. Dang it I cannot remember the name of it though.
I'll have to google. Ric
