We have one month left of summer (says the calendar, but probably not the weather) and that means 30 days to enjoy the best summer desserts Houston has to offer. From ice cream floats to gourmet banana splits and paletas made with real fruit, here’s our summer dessert bucket list.

As the producer and mom on the Eat Like a Local crew, I’ve visited more than 150 restaurants across Houston with our host, James Beard Award-winning chef Chris Shepherd. Now, I’m sharing the casual spots I take my family when the cameras are off.

Football season is here, believe it or not. The Texans kick off their first pre-season game this Saturday August, 9th. The cat is out of the bag, award-winning chef and Eat Like a Local host Chris Shepherd helped announce that local Mediterranean restaurant Craft Pita will join NRG Stadium as a food vendor during the season. It's a full-circle moment for Chef Nasr who went from tailgating at Texans games as a teenager -- to now having his own restaurant inside the stadium. Watch the video player above for a sneak peek at the delicious menu and how to vote for Houston as a top NFL food destination.

In this episode of “Eat Like a Local”, the crew returns to Galveston to learn how fresh caught Gulf seafood makes it from the dock to your plate. Host Chris Shepherd’s first stop is at Katie’s Seafood Market where he meets local fisherman Buddy Guindon who owns the market and Katie’s Seafood House right next door.

Galveston is known for its laid-back coastal vibe, rich history, and, of course, seafood. However, despite its proximity to the water, not all Galveston restaurants are sourcing fresh Gulf seafood. Host Chris Shepherd set out to sort out the local spots that are sourcing locally and serving up some of the best dishes in town.
