New Grocery

Sunday morning I woke up and went to Revival Market on Heights Blvd. Don't you feel as though all Sunday mornings should start early buying fresh produce at an all local, organic market? If you don't then...find another blog. My favorite mornings in my 20's were waking up at daybreak and heading to the grocery for fresh veg and meats to have breakfast at the ready when my boyfriend got up. Anyway, back to Revival...

It was my first trip to Revival Market and certainly won't be my last. As I walked in I was greeted with baskets filled with crispy warm baguettes. I had to have one...or three, and in true Parisian fashion I broke off the tip and started to snack. I quickly made it over to the barista to order my go-to double shot macchiato and a fresh buttery chocolate croissant...no one in Houston seems to get this quite right, but Revival's is pretty good.

I continued my perusing through the space looking first at local organic steaks and lunch meat (1/4 pound of coppa sliced thin to go with my baguette) and then on to the fresh veg (baby carots like ones I pulled straight out of my dad's garden still coated with dirt abd cute little onion bulbs). I wanted everything, it all looked so fresh and delicious, and with every label reading "Texas..." I couldn't help but feel the need to support all the local growers. Then to finish off the sammy I bought 1/4 pound of a delicious gruyere...mmmmm. It's definitely all gone.

Basket full, I headed to the opposite of the store where I found an in house mustard (omg! so good, but there was definitely a little honey in there not mentioned on the label), in house bread and butter pickles, bbq sauce, and locally produced honey. I was in heaven! Then I turned around and there was a giant piece of glass about 5 feet high and 7-8 feet wide revealing their very own meat curring room. You don't see a lot of these around, and it was a beautiful sight :)

It's costs more but I would definitely recommend that you pay this market a visit. Although if you're anything like me you may leave having purchased enough food to make a $30 sandwich. :) Totally worth it!
