10 New Restaurants We Loved Across America In 2022 - The Infatuation
"By the time you notice the glow of Chopnblok's neon sign in Houston’s Post Market food hall, you’ll also see the crowd out front. And they’re not just here for the free samples. They’re here for the casual spin on traditional West African dishes. Chopnblok combines flavors from Nigeria, East Africa, and Ghana, with a few Creole ones, and creates something new, like an element on the periodic table that hasn't been discovered. You should get the golden bowl, where savory-sweet kelewele, refreshing coconut curry, and smoky jollof jambalaya party together in the same dish. Chopnblok might reel you in with the free samples, but we suggest sticking around for the Tobe Nwigwe records, yaji spices that tickle your tongue, and caramelized ajebutter popcorn. Even though it’s a food stall surrounded by dozens of others, Chopnblok is a destination restaurant." - team infatuation
