State to offer San Jacinto Texas Historic District specialty plate
The San Jacinto Texas Historic District (SJTHD) is now offering specialty license plates in cooperation with TxDOT. The plate features the historical assets of the district, and serves to further bring awareness to the historical significance of the region. The design depicts the San Jacinto Monument alongside the Battleship Texas. The proceeds fund SJTHD initiatives such as Epic Art.
Pearland's Killen's Steakhouse (2804 S. Main, 281-485-0844) has caught the attention of Houston Chronicle restaurant critic Alison Cook who describes Killen's in these words: "Inside this white-tablecloth surprise, chef-owner Ron Killen not only runs Pearland's best restaurant but also one of the best Gulf Coast steak-and-seafood eateries in the Houston area, if not the state."
Cook recently listed the Kobe long-bone rib eye at Killen's as one of the best dishes of 2009. She recommends sharing the comparatively expensive cut with someone you really like after declaring, "My eyeballs rolled in their sockets when I first tasted this quintessence of beefiness, with its aggressive sear, outrageous heft and expansive flavor."
Other dishes noted by Cook are the "towering" Niman pork chop, chicken-fried sirloin steak, jumbo fried shrimp, "anything" with lump crabmeat, and creme brulee bread pudding.
