"ChòpnBlọk is located inside of the culinary heaven POST Houston, a former regional post office that was converted into a food court and entertainment venue in 2021. The fast-casual restaurant is the invention of chef Ope Amosum, who started it as a pop-up in 2018 and evolved it into a brick-and-mortar at the same time POST Houston opened its doors. Born in Lagos, Nigeria, and raised in Houston, Amosum wanted to introduce diners to the complex and myriad food traditions of West Africa—and ChòpnBlọk does that in a simple, accessible, delicious way. Guests can pick between a bed of steamed white rice, jollof rice, or rice and greens, and then select a protein—either a bean-based curry, five-spice seasoned chicken, or marinated steak—to top it. As a bonus, patrons can enjoy their meals while listening to the Afrobeat tunes that are usually playing at ChòpnBlọk." - Mae Hamilton
