Yes Ma’am, No Ma’am: The Hottest and Not-So-Hottest Brands in Houston
The Good Stuff
Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo – Yee-haw! This event is a Houston staple and a must-visit for anyone who loves cowboy boots, rodeo clowns, and all things rodeo.
Pappadeaux – Houston meets NOLA at this seafood mecca. For the best gumbo and oysters in town, head to Pappadeaux.
Cactus Music – All the cool kids get their records here. Whether you’re a music buff or just looking for a unique gift, Cactus Music is the place to go.
Ninfa’s – Tex-Mex of the Gods. This iconic restaurant has been serving up delicious fajitas and margaritas for decades.
The Not-So-Good Stuff
Turkey Leg Hut – There’s only so much drama one can take. Let’s just say this spot is better left to the tourists.
Gallery Furniture – We’ll never forget Mattress Mack’s election lawsuit (and the furniture is not that cute). Sorry, Mattress Mack, but your furniture just can’t compete with the likes of IKEA.
ExxonMobil – Ruining the planet right from our backyard. Sorry, ExxonMobil, but your impact on the environment is just too much to handle.
Sterling McCall – Stop with all the ads if we must keep returning for fixes. We get it, you’re trying to make a buck, but can’t you just give us a break?
The Awkward Stuff
CenterPoint – More like never on point. Sorry, CenterPoint, but your customer service is just not up to par.
Enron – We’re not here for the comeback. Let’s just leave the past in the past, shall we?
Quarter Price Books – Who doesn’t love a bargain? This discount bookstore is a treasure trove for book lovers on a budget.
Houston Astros – 23 runs, baby. Go ‘Stros!
