Halloween is here! I've picked out my top 5 Houston Halloween hotspots where you can enjoy a fun, spooky themed meal! There's even a few competitions involved...
Weights and Measures: Spooky Halloween Brunch
One of my favorite places to grab a quick bite, or sit and relax with a pastry and coffee, Weights and Measures is offering all of their usual brunch items along with some "scary Halloween cocktails."
Competition: dress up to win a $100 gift card!

Tobiuo Sushi and Bar
A recently opened sushi bar in Katy, with all the sophisticated Halloween vibes. Their Halloween menu consists of a spectacular pumpkin dessert and "Frankenstein inspired" cocktail. The dessert, which you may have seen all over Instagram (and soon on mine too) is called the "Japanese Pumpkin Patch." The very talented pastry chefs at Tobiuo have really created something special! It's made from a kabocha bavarois, clove anglaise, cocoa crumb, honey butter pumpkin seeds and horchata ice cream. Doesn't that sound heavenly?
Popular items: Engawa (flounder fin), the "Sushi Sets" and the Spicy Sake Maki
