Houston this week 🌦
Hey Houston, it’s been a pretty rainy week so we got a couple of indoor events and comfort food spotlights for y’all this weekend! We hope y’all are liking the format so far with these business spotlights & event listings. If y’all are, it’d be awesome if y’all share this newsletter with someone you think would enjoy these!
Without further ado, let’s get into it with our first business spotlight!
Jang Guem Tofu and BBQ House
🇰🇷 Korean homey comfort food to street food small bites
 |  |  |
This place has always been my one of my favorite comfort meal spots for a long time. Every time I come, I get the same thing: C6 combo - spicy tofu soup with galbi! The owner is always so sweet when she greets us and is always adding something new with recent additions being free ice cream, 9 different bonchan dishes now, and a street food menu! They have a location in Sugarland as well as Bellaire!
Now, for our upcoming weekend events digest!

Shining the spotlight on…
Wolfies Restaurant and Sports Bar
🍻 Great local, family-friendly, sport bar with many TV screens with great food, daily specials, and great service located in the Woodlands
 |  |  |
I actually went to this bar last weekend to watch UFC 319 with a big party of 10 and the staff were very accommodating to fit our group and showed great hospitality! The food was great, tons of options, with vast menu of drinks as well. They also had a backyard patio where they did open mic karaoke! They’re a great local spot with that southern hospitality, engaging staff that host events regularly, and great bomb food & drinks. If you’re up north looking for a good sports bar for watch parties, check out Wolfies!
