I'm thrilled to announce that @meghamcswain joined the team at @chron this week as a food writer! 🥳 Megha grew up in Houston and has covered the city's food scene for years. We are very lucky to have her and I'm excited to have a partner in crime on Food 😎 Give her a follow!

How Houston Eats is BACK on @chron . We're starting the year with some good news for Houston: @evan7257 is this month's subject. Among other important questions, I asked him what food he would use to build an Ike Dike out of. Do we think it would work?
