Name:

Syd Kearney

About me:

Let's just say, I love telling people where to go and what to do. And since I've edited two Houston travel guides and worked as a reporter/editor/semi-pro eater here for more than (insert a largish number here) years, telling people where to go and what to do in Houston is kinda my calling.

Interests:

Chuck Taylors, wine with lunch, beagles, Smart cars, a three way with Kevin Smith and Joss Whedon, reality cooking series, travel (although Dorothy was right -- there's no place like home), '50s-era sci-fi, cooking, wine with dinner, roller coasters, water slides, celebrity chefs (John Besh, PLEASE call me) and Advil Cold & Sinus.

Additional details: Relationship status: In a relationship; Children: My pets are my kids; Gender: Female; Zodiac sign: Virgo (Aug 23-Sep 22)

Additional details: Occupation: Journalist by trade/provocateur by birth; Political leaning: That's classified; Religion: Not so you'd notice; Ethnicity: None that I know of

Burger Friday: Gratifi Kitchen & Bar:

29-95 has moved to Chron.com: blog.chron.com/29-95. Features such as Whine & Dine and Burger Friday will now be found at chron.com/entertainment.

DIY in the kitchen: Alison's Chili:

Hey, Marvin, don't get your panties in a knot. There was a link to the original story in the second line. That link apparently was broken (that story is three years old), but has now been restored.

Whine & Dine: Wine bar owner admits to "dropping ball":

Well, Observer, I do think everyone deserves a second chance. That was all I was trying to say. And, no worries, there will always be whiners.

Whine & Dine: Wine bar owner admits to "dropping ball":

Just for you, Joe.

Whine & Dine: Berryhill diner wants his money back:

Here's an update: After I contacted Berryhill, the restaurant looked up Mr. Surface's original complaint and then contacted him directly. Mr. Surface emailed me to say that the caller offered to credit his account but given the circumstances he was uncomfortable giving the caller his credit card number. The caller promised instead to send a gift certificate to cover his loss.
