Churrascos, the Cordúa family South American grill, will open its first suburban-area location this fall, in Lake Pointe Town Center, the Whole Foods-anchored, mixed-use development at U.S. Highway 59 and Highway 6 in Sugar Land. Corporate chef David Cordúa says this location will be the prototype for future suburban Churrascos restaurants. “We want to bring the best of Cordúa in a little tighter package,” he said in a press release … Chef Arturo Boada, previously at Arturo’s Uptown Italiano, is quickly turning the late Bistro Don Camillo (6510 Del Monte) into his new Arturo Boada Cuisine.

Have you been to Irma’s (22 N. Chenevert) lately? You’ll notice that owner Irma Galvan has done a serious remodel and expansion, with a new bar, about 100 new seats and improved parking. We love Irma’s for an early supper before an Astros game.
