Trivia

Answer at the bottom of the newsletter 😉 

Beyoncé Was Left Dangling in Mid-Air

During the first night of her "Cowboy Carter" tour stop in Houston, Beyoncé had a tense moment when the flying red car she rides above the crowd suddenly tilted midair during her performance of "16 Carriages."

Calm and collected, she told the crew to "stop" and waited as the car was safely lowered to the stage—no one was hurt, and she reassured the crowd with a smile, saying, "If I ever fall, I know y’all will catch me."

The show went on without a hitch, and fans were left in awe of her professionalism and grace under pressure.

Restaurant Spotlight

Josephine’s at 318 Gray St is a Midtown gem that brings a playful, Southern-meets-Gulf Coast vibe to Houston’s dining scene.

The restaurant feels like a little slice of New Orleans, with a relaxed, vintage atmosphere and a menu that’s all about celebrating local seafood, bold flavors, and a bit of Southern nostalgia.

• Must-try starters: smoked redfish dip, fried okra, and hush puppies with pickled jalapeño tartar sauce.

• The oyster bar features Gulf Coast favorites and rotating wild oysters, all shucked and served with classic fixings.

• Standout mains include shrimp & grits, BBQ blue crabs, and the Mississippi hot catfish sandwich.

• Creative cocktails and a well-curated wine list, plus a daily happy hour with $1.50 oysters and $8 cocktails.

• Service is friendly and attentive, and the vibe is perfect for groups, special occasions, or just a laid-back dinner with friends
