About the Registration

ABOUT MY TABLE MAGAZINE:
My Table, Houston’s dining magazine, is published by Lazywood Press and was founded in 1994. It’s a different kind of publication: personal, quirky and specialized. Each issue offers readers the most complete information on the restaurants, chefs, shops, foods, trends, caterers, festivals and personalities that make up the city’s lively culinary scene. John Mariani, restaurant critic for Esquire magazine, calls My Table “both indispensable and a joy to read.”
