I love a good twist on that old breakfast standard, eggs benedict. At this Houston restaurant -- a classic in its own right -- the recent brunch special featured fresh lobster atop creamed spinach and crumbly biscuits, all topped with a buttery, citrusy hollandaise that I wanted to suck up through a straw. Look familiar?

I honestly think this might be a photo from someone's engagement session; I have no idea. But the photographer dropped it in the Houston Press Flickr pool so IT'S FAIR GAME. Think you know where this lovely couple is posing and not drinking those delicious martinis in front of them?

At this beloved Mexican joint, everything is made in house from scratch: from tortillas to beans, from chips to machacado. Well, everything except the coffee. I'm pretty sure I've never seen a coffee grinder here.

The beer below goes great with a dozen oysters at this Houston restaurant -- especially with news that Gulf oysters are expected to recover from the recent red tide epidemic. However, the season is still closed, so you'll have to stick with East or West Coast oysters here for now.

The giant, fertilized duck egg in the foreground should be the giveaway for this week's shot. The balut, resting on a pile of chile and salt, was served along with a slammer of beer in case the taste of the fertilized duck embryo inside proved too strong. I didn't need the beer -- I found the taste of the yolky, livery balut oddly enjoyable -- but I drank it anyway.

The thyme-sprigged cocktail below was a mere $5 during this new Montrose restaurant's nightly happy hour, and it features an ingredient not usually seen in cocktails: sake. And with that clue, you should be able to easily guess this week's Where Are We Drinking? by now.

Our New Year's resolution was to learn how to bartend like Tom Cruise in Cocktail. What was yours?

This extremely well-equipped downtown bar is located in an unusual spot, one perfect for taking in a popular Christmas break activity. And by "well-equipped," we mean this place has many bars in town beat with its selection of locally brewed craft beers and ciders, unusual imports and some serious spirits that go into a thoughtful cocktail program. Think you know where we're getting a Leprechaun cider this week?

Even though the guy in this photo is drinking an Aquafina, this newly reopened bar in one of the city's hottest neighborhoods serves alcohol too -- including some seriously strong mixed drinks. Even better, it's open over the holidays in case you need a brief respite from all the family fun. Think you know where we're drinking this week?

This is no ordinary smoothie: This is a super-charged, good-for-you shake that happens to taste like white chocolate...despite being made mostly of veggies. Chalk it up to creamy avocado in combination with almond milk and agave nectar (plus a few other green superfoods), and you've got a healthy beverage that's more like dessert. Think you know where we're sucking this smoothie down?
