Heights neighbor Brandon McPherren and his friend Minh Lucas describe the new Pho Binh location as “magical.” McPherren lives down the street and regularly eats at the Cypress location near his work. Lucas has been dining with the Vietnamese mini-chain since the original Pho Binh trailer and now the two can satisfy their pho craving in a short walk’s time. The White Oak eatery opened doors on June 10, after undergoing about three months of renovations. The previous location housed the French bistro, Sale Sucre. Since the kitchen and utilities had all been established by the previous tenants, Pho Binh General Manager Walt Hoang said majority of the work needed was to put their touch on the inside. “We completely redid the inside,” Hoang said. “The kitchen needed some work, but we redid the inside to our taste and made it inviting and bright to come in so you feel welcome.” The restaurant has been open for just over a week and business has been increasingly steady. It wasn’t until opening weekend that Hoang saw the crowd really pour in. “Over the weekend we were packed from opening to closing,” Hoang said. “On Sunday we ran out of broth, noodles and even cilantro, of all things. Our kitchen is not that big, so we don’t mass produce or buy in bulk so we aren’t wasteful.” The Heights location is one of seven, but this location differentiates itself from the others by focusing on the sit down dinner, Hoang said. A ‘Heights Only Menu’ is being debuted for lunch and dinner, with offerings that can be shared or enjoyed for one. “We have different things on the menu and we’re going to try it out to see what our customers like,” Hoang said. “If something works, we’ll keep it and if they’d like to see something else we can work on that, too.” The Heights only menu has a slight seafood influence with standout items like the spread of oysters with Tabiko, soft shell crab salad, the bone-in chillean sea bass, and from the protein side, the black pepper steak and the baked bone marrow. Another Heights neighbor, Sandra Gunn, stopped in for lunch after a long day of errands and said after learning of Pho Binh’s opening, she knew exactly what she was having for lunch. “This is just the kind of place we needed in the area,” Gunn said. “Now all we’re missing is an Indian restaurant.” Gunn also added that she’d be back in for dinner. The most ordered dish from the menu is the beef soups, according to Hoang. The soups A fruit smoothie with are the most popular amoung tapioca balls. several of their restaurants and it is where the family business started with their Southeast Houston trailer.

Houston, TX 77092
The prodigal artists returns to the neighborhoood By Christina Martinez christina@theleadernews.com If you sit at the bar at Wakefield Crowbar and Kevin Hernandez pours you a drink, chances are you’ll get a funny story, a sly remark to loosen you up and a bartender who’ll pour you a stiff drink and remember your name. That personality is what will bring you back to the bar for one of his signatures, yes, but it’s what will make you leave knowing his name, too. Hernandez’s roots are down the street from Wakefield Crowbar, literally. He grew up on 34th Street and attended school and church at St. Rose of Lima until his early elementary years. His family traveled while growing up and after graduating high school, he continued his travels to Los Angeles, where he started his debut in the industry. However, that’s not where Hernandez’s creative story starts. Growing up, Hernandez always had a creative eye and showed an interest in art. He pursued an art degree after high school, but shortly after put the degree on hold. Hernandez transitioned his creative eye over to a Los Angeles restaurant, working as a bar-back, all while continuing his own personal art. “Los Angeles is where I first got exposed to the industry,” Hernandez said. “I eventually moved back to Texas and lived in Austin to try out the starving artist scene there.” Austin eventually came to an end, too, and Hernandez moved back to Houston

to help with the family business and later to finish his art degree at the University of Houston. Later Hernandez found himself at Dirt Bar, the former Heights dive hangout, but slinging drinks wasn’t all Hernandez found himself doing. The family company asked Hernandez to paint the mural at the previous El Gran Malo and at the current downtown bar, El Big Bad. “I’m still working on my own projects,” Hernandez said. “I still get requests to work on new murals and side projects,
too.” One project that Hernandez was just asked his hand in, is a new menu with an animated comic book feature throughout. After Dirt Bar, you could find Hernandez at Corkscrew and now currently at Crowbar. Hernandez says he loves it. If Hernandez could describe his bartending in one word, he’d say he’s efficient. “I don’t want anyone waiting at the bar for longer than 30 seconds,” Hernandez said. “If we’re swamped, I’ll at least acknowledge the person waiting. Unless the Rockets are on, then they’ll have to wait.” While at Crowbar, Hernandez has created a signature shot called Kevin In Your Face. According to Hernandez, it’s a shot for everyone, but starts with a Jack Daniel’s base, which he says is his go-to. He also adds sweet Amaretto and pineapple juice to mask the whiskey base. “When you go a lot of places, you’re going to wait to get up to the bar and the drinks take awhile to make,” Hernandez said. “Here at Crowbar you can get a great drink, meet a a new crowd of friends every day and have a bunch of space to spread out and have some fun.” You can stop in to try a Kevin In Your Face at 954 Wakefield Dr. and play trivia with him on Tuesday nights, where he MCs the event and even comes up with the questions himself. Hernandez has made a full circle back to Houston, to a neighborhood bar many call home.

Velvet Taco coming soon to the Washington corridor By Christina Martinez christina@theleadernews.com Torchy’s Tacos might have some competition in the next coming weeks, with Velvet Taco opening at 4819 Washington Ave. The Dallas based upscale taco chain replaces the former sports bar, The Rig. The Houston opening makes the fourth location in the company, with the three others in Dallas, Fort Worth and Chicago, Illinois. The menu offers six category selections for tacos: chicken, veggie, pork, beef, fish and egg, with breakfast tacos served all day! Sides include rotisserie corn and an interesting side that has piqued my interest, the tater tots. These tots have herbed goat cheese, smoked cheddar, avocado crema, bacon and are topped with a local egg. The menu also offers a $20 meal package that includes a whole roasted chicken and sides. If you’re wondering if the location will be serving up margaritas, the answer is yes.
Biskit Junkie opens doors, almost
The Oak Forest breakfast joint promised their waiting neighbors an opening once their Facebook page accumulated 1,000 likes. Currently at 1,017 and as promised their doors are opened, almost. The butcher paper is still up, and the breakfast joint is still staffing the house. They are currently on the search for Lead Cooks, Prep Cooks, Cashiers and Shift Leaders. So it seems we’ll have to wait awhile longer befoer breakfast is served. Biskit Junkie is located at 2925 W T.C Jester Blvd. 77018.

Art show set to benefit local artist and family from Memorial Day flood When people are in trouble, it’s our nature to come together, and as a community to help out. This Saturday, the vast and diverse Houston arts community is doing just that for artist Michael Wooten and his family. Wooten’s home, art and most of their possessions including their young children’s toys were ruined in the flooding on Memorial Day. Their insurance only covered theft, and the property owner has decided to sell. Art donations have been coming in since Art work entitled the announcement ‘I saw that my life was made June 4, was a vast glowing and the combination empty page and I could do anything I fundraiser/art show is shaping up to be wanted.’ a who’s who in the Houston art scene with 35 artists, including Wooten’s, submitting work as of this writing. The event takes place from 2-8 p.m. June 20, at East End Studio Gallery. Jerry’s Artarama has donated art supplies for live art demos so that even the novice can try a hand at being an artist. Music by DJ Twinkletoes and sponsor Southern Star Brewery helps with the decision making and thirsty visitors. All proceeds will help the Wooten family get back on their feet. I’ve known Michael Wooten through the art community both online and in person for a few years and asked him about the flood, his art and background.

Where do you fit in the Houston vast art scene? I just updated my resume and I found that most of my shows have been at East End Studio Gallery, but I have shown all over the Houston area. I usually post my upcoming shows on my Facebook page. I am currently creating a new website and trying to set up a mailing list through that.

Your house was flooded recently, did you lose any artwork? Yes, our house was flooded in the Memorial Day flood. I had spent the day before moving my studio from a back room to the front room - so a lot of my art that was usually up, was on the floor. So I lost a lot of drawings and a few paintings. There were more paintings that were damp, but I think that they have dried out okay. I may need to re-stretch a few.

Oaks Dad’sClub scores big funds
Photos by Christina Martinez
T
he neighborhood youth league, Oaks Dads Club took to the Astros field this past weekend on June 14, to accept a 5,000 check from the Baseball Tomorrow Fund. Each year the Baseball Tomorrow Fund holds an equipment drive at stadiums where fans and players are invited to donate new and used equipment to benefit a local organization. In conjunction with the equipment drive, each MLB team awards a youth baseball or softball organization. The Astros chose ODC. “The funds will be used to
purchase baseball and softball equipment for the league,” Oaks Dads Club President, Sean Jez said. “We’ve spent a good chunk of change on equipment this year, so this will certainly help.” Along with receiving their check, two ODC All-Star teams, the Major and Minor League, were recognized on the field. President Sean Jez was also able to talk to the Tomorrow Fund about the progress of the program. The Astros played the Seattle Mariners on that Sunday with a blowout win of 13-0.

Neighbors: Haircuts and fundraising By Elizabeth Villarreal elizasgarden@outlook.com Happy birthday wishes go out to Lorine Wade who celebrated her 78th birthday on June 17th with a special visit and lunch with her daughter Cathy and granddaughter Ashley. Ashley will celebrate her 12th birthday on July 4th with family and friends at a festive pool party and BBQ. Happy Birthday! Love, Dot Dot 2-year-old Walker Sapida, son of Sarah and Jensen Sapida of Oak Forest, didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when he experienced his first haircut this week. In the end, Walker handled his new hairstyle like a pro with a little help from a magical blue raspberry Dum Dum lollipop and set a wonderful example for baby brother, Marshall. Those Sapidas have the cutest babies ever! Ken and Carolyn Bryant took a week of vacation from work and kept their five grandsons (yes – you read it right – that is not a typo – five grandsons – all at one time!) while the boys’ parents, Mike and Kim Evans and Jonathan and Kristi Kolmetz, enjoyed a trip to St. Lucia, their Christmas gift from Ken and Carolyn. The Bryants’ grandsons are Coltan-13, Casan-9, Carsan-6, Jackson-4 and Benjamin-3. In addition to baseball practice and baseball games the three older boys already had planned and on the schedule, plenty of activities kept the young men busy! Carolyn and Ken kept things moving along by taking the boys to Jumping World, IFly, Dave & Busters, go-kart racing, putt putt golfing, an Astros game, swimming, and a baseball picnic - in addition to playing occasional video games. On the last night before the Evans and Kolmetz parents returned from their trip, the boys had a super fun slumber party complete with air mattresses. Now that’s what I call awesome grandparents! Carolyn said, “All in
all, the boys were perfect – it went much better than anticipated and we really did enjoy them. We had a lot of fun! I’m just not sure if they kept us young or made us realize how fast we are getting old!â€? Whichever the case – wonderful family memories were definitely made and the boys will tell stories about their week with their grandparents for many years to come. On Friday, June 19, join some of our amazing neighbors who are hosting a benefit they have lovingly dubbed “Leave No Skater Behindâ€? for Kevin Garner, one of the original members of Houston’s Urban Animals. This event will be at The Last Concert CafĂŠ, 1403 Nance Street, on the outskirts of Downtown Houston. The doors will be open from 7 a.m. through 2 a.m. and music will be provided by DJ LP before and after live performances by Mydolls, The Footnotes, and Herschel Berry & The Natives. Your neighbors Linda Younger and Dianna Ray are original members of Mydolls, Houston’s legendary punk band. Linda said, “This is our opportunity to give back to Kevin Garner all that he has given to us. He is fighting the battle of his life as he undergoes aggressive treatment for pancreatic cancer. Come out and show your support!â€? http://www. gofundme.com/oof970; https://www.facebook.com/ events/1589480251323038/

Pet Comfort with Anesthesia and Surgery Veterinary medicine has made a lot of progress since the twentieth century and the anesthesia standard of care has changed for most surgeries. Could you imagine yourself waking up from an anesthetic procedure nauseated, confused, chilled, in pain, and thirsty from dehydration? What if you were in a strange environment with no one familiar to comfort you? This is no longer the acceptable standard for people and now with today’s advanced medical care we can avoid most of these discomforts and complications for our pets also. First it’s important to address your pet’s anxiety. A quiet environment, gentle nursing care, speciďŹ c drugs and pheromones on your pet’s bedding help reduce stress. Fluid support (intravenous is preferred) maintains cardiovascular support, hydration, electrolytes and provides a lifeline if complications should occur. The advanced anesthetics used today are combined to reduce their individual dose, and thus possible adverse effects. This is greatly increases safety while decreasing post-anesthesia nausea. Close monitoring of your pet before, during and after the anesthetic procedure by experienced personnel is vital for safety. This includes anesthesia and prevent them from becoming chilled quickly. EKGs and blood pressure monitors are used to monitor cardiovascular function while pulse oximeters and respiratory monitors are used to maintain your pet’s oxygenation and breathing. All these are used with anesthesia to increase your pet’s safety.
Always call your Vet if you have any concerns or questions
