"This Minute Maid Park location will remain open despite the planned closures elsewhere in the city; it is part of the company’s maintained Houston footprint and was not singled out for underperformance in the recent filing, while the company says these targeted closures won’t impede future openings in the state." - Brittany Britto Garley
"A national burger chain ran a limited-time Houston promotion reframing the messy barbecue experience by offering “sauce insurance.” As part of the campaign (running through Wednesday, July 31), the chain introduced two barbecue-focused burgers — a smoky classic barbecue burger (Angus beef with American cheese, bacon, crispy onions, and barbecue sauce) and a Carolina barbecue burger (topped with fried pickles and a tangy-sweet sauce) — and promised that the first 2,500 diners who upload a photo of their barbecue burger to Instagram (photos showing stained clothes are encouraged) will receive a complimentary $10 dry-cleaning voucher redeemable at any participating dry-cleaner. The promotion also includes a $25,000 donation to a program that cleans clothes for families affected by natural disasters." - Brittany Britto Garley

"Take advantage of Shake Shack’s in-stadium location and order a signature burger, a hot dog, or custard (Section 157)." - Brittany Britto Garley
