"The first thing we noticed about Best Quality Daughter is the irreverence, starting with the classical-looking Chinese art that’s actually flipping us a middle finger. Somewhere in there is a metaphor for the food: something like Asian fusion that folds in Texans’ affinity for cheese in all forms. There are corn cheese spring rolls served with frothy salsa, or mochi-wrapped cheddar hush puppies that ooze with gooey orange goodness. The crunchy-but-not-greasy fry on the salt-n-pepper shrimp reminds us of East Texas seafood diners if the Gulf catch also included thai chilis. Wash it all down with a boozy boba tea—we like the Thai tea flavor for a caffeine boost to keep the night going." - Kris Seavers
