"Roughly a 10-minute drive from NRG stadium, chef Aaron Bludorn’s seafood restaurant offers an ideal pre-rodeo meal, with dishes that exude the Texas Gulf Coast. Find crawfish risotto, grouper sandwiches, seafood gumbo, and oysters served three ways — raw, baked , or fried. Visit during Oyster Hour daily from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. for $10 well martinis, and deals on wine, beer, and sake. Find $2 oysters and claims and $8 oyster shooters." - Marcy de Luna
