It’s hard to find a true farm-to-table restaurant in any city — and to find one in a city with such a taste for national chains is especially impressive. Gwendolyn was an amazing experience start to finish — and it even beat my Houston farm-to-table fave, Haven. The restaurant strives to go back to the time when food was honest.

A Lovely Lunch at Luce

The answer was a resounding, “Go to Thai Dee!” And, I was craving rice noodles again… so off we went to Thai Dee. The restaurant is in a tiny, old strip mall next to a convenience store. Little did we know that Thai Dee is a hidden little gem!
