My Table, Houston’s dining magazine published by Lazywood Press, was a different kind of print publication – personal, quirky and specialized – and for more than 23 years, we were Houston’s only paid-subscription magazine focusing on all things culinary. Our readers were foodies and depended on us for accurate, objective information about the local food-and-drink world. Each issue offered readers news on the restaurants, chefs, shops, bars, foods, nightlife, trends and personalities that make up Houston’s lively culinary scene. We also included travel in our editorial mix as a way to explore how cuisine from all over the world has shaped the dining diversity of Houston. Beginning in 2004 our website my-table.com delivered robust bites of Houston restaurant news between print editions of My Table magazine.
In 2017, online readership was more diversified – our readers wanted to get a first look at newly opened restaurants and bars, read tongue-in-cheek features on the current season or explore a local food trend. My Table became a digital magazine, no subscription required. Everything we’ve delivered in print since 1994 is now available to anyone on the web. Hungry Houstonians and visiting guests relied on our Culinary Calendar to keep them in-the-know of upcoming events and to get the first scoop on special promotions and ticket sales to festivals and galas. SideDish, our digital newsletter, was emailed weekly with a roster of our stories for the week, plus upcoming events set for the weekend.
