64 JUST DESSERTS: DAYS OF POP ROCKS AND LAVA LAMPS
Our writer recently stumbled upon a 1976 edition of a Houston guidebook and, of course, immediately turned to the Houston restaurant section. You remember 1976, don’t you? It was the year that Pennzoil Place and One Houston Center both opened downtown, ZZ Top had their first national tour, Charlie’s Angels debuted on TV and billionaire Howard Hughes died enroute to Houston. Unfortunately for those who dined out in those days, the local culinary scene was not particularly glorious.
