You don’t have to eat blood pudding, ox hearts, tongues or livers to enjoy a meal at Feast ? but if you do, you’ll find yourself in hog heaven. The two British chefs are disciples of Fergus Henderson, a chef known for his offal cookery and a cookbook called The Whole Beast. The menu includes plenty of dishes for innards-averse diners. There’s also plenty of seafood among the entrees along with lamb shanks, chicken and usually at least one vegetarian creation.

They call the food at Feast "rustic European fare," and there's nothing else like it in Houston. Situated in a charming old house with a very relaxed and homey atmosphere, Brits Richard Knight (the chef) and James Silk (the butcher) are taking Houston tastebuds on a journey back in time, when people used to eat everything that a pig (and other animals) had to offer, from the snout to the tail to the blood, as in a typical black pudding � a carnivore's orgasm. The adventurous menu at Feast changes daily, so just when you find the perfect dish, it vanishes. How about pork cheeks or bone marrow soup, or maybe chicken hearts on toast? No? Well, if you're holding out for the good stuff, you'll love the braised neck of lamb, the beef tongue or lamb tongues or the tongue and testicles in green sauce (not available every day). Both Richard and James have worked for some prestigious, Michelin-rated places and people, most notably under Fergus Henderson of St. Johns, in London, where James acquired the "whole hog" approach to his cuisine.
