Sunday, Nov 1, 2026 – Edition #4
Extra, extra – read all about it. Here we go with WEEK 4! Again – if you missed it – I’m trying something new, a BAHFL weekly “column” so to speak, to keep members as informed as possible as to what’s new around town in the food and drink biz, some yummy things I ate over the past week and more. I invite you to join me every Sunday morning right here for a little weekly recap!
Note: For easy reading, each heading is a new section, and the lines under it are the items in that section. Let’s get started!
What’s Cooking Around Town?
- Nisha aka Barbie Gee, formerly with TJ Flippers, is now the new owner of Gator’s Bar and Grill!
- I spoke with the owner of Rice Box on El Dorado and he is planning to open NEXT MONTH!
- There is an Artisan’s Market at Whiskey Cake Baybrook TODAY, 11/1 from 10-3pm featuring live entertainment, artisan products and a raffle (win a WC Smoker Kit)!
- Don’t forget to check out the Bay Area Farmer’s Market in front of Total Wine at Baybrook Mall, EVERY Sunday from 11-3. There are a few BAHFL card partners there, too: Spaghetti Spice Bomb, Dam Fine Coffee Roasters, Scrumptious Bagels & Cheesecakes and more!

One Last Sip…
I hope everyone had a fun Halloween! I’m ready for our next cool/cold front, are you? I run across two types of folks; some love the cooler weather and some just aren’t a fan of any temperatures under 70. I love the cooler weather unless it gets below 45 degrees… then I’m done. Which type are you? Team Tank-Top or Team Hoodie.
Cheers – until next Sunday!
