A Soupçon of Houston’s Fringe to Tide Us Over Until Fall
Like a small boat drifting precariously upon a vast ocean, the resilient Houston Fringe Festival persevered last September, but not without taking on some water.The timing couldn't have been worse. Houston traffic was a nightmare with many roads still impassible, arts organizations and venues were only just beginning to assess the damage from flooding, and big name national and international artists were backing out of the festival."We lost about 70 percent of the participating artists last September. We went on with a total of seven unique shows. It was a small festival. It was a short week but the show went on," says festival Executive/Artistic Director Adam Castañeda.

Certain bread products are especially difficult to make with Houston's water, so things like pizza dough and po' boy rolls are often flown in from other parts of the country. Such is the case for the devastatingly light and airy hoagie rolls at Pappa Geno's that hold my favorite sandwich there, the Chicken Philly.The purveyor of Philly cheesesteaks, something people from that part of the country fight over (but what don't they fight over in Philadelphia?), has its original location (they have four now around town) in a nondescript little strip center location just north of the Heights on Ella Boulevard. If not for the bright orange and blue color scheme, you might miss it. Inside, it has the feel of a brightly-colored diner … [Read more...] about Houston’s Best Sandwiches: The Chicken Philly at Papa Geno’s
