"An offshoot of New Orleans legend Commander’s Palace, Brennan’s has been open in Houston for more than 40 years and is the definition of a local icon. Try the famed snapping turtle soup, shrimp remoulade, and classic gumbo. And go big or go home with the Gulf Fish Pontchartrain, a combination of jumbo lump crab, shrimp, and Louisiana oysters, served with Parmesan mushroom rice and Brennan’s Creole butter." - Brittany Britto Garley
