Feast your eyes on Dish Society brunch
Dish Society. So basically, Dish Society should be on every Houstonian’s bucket list. It’s hip and cute and has that whole farm to table thing going for them.

The entire restaurant is based on this “anti-inflammatory pyramid” and the research and work of Dr. Andrew Weil–aka he recommends to eat less meat.
