Game recognize game as they say. As of this moment, Lee’s latest review in Houston pertains to Houston’s premier breakfast spot. Here Lee ordered the grits as well as wings and a pancake – not the restaurant’s local favorite, wings and a waffle.
For the wings alone, Lee scored a 9.5 out of 10, saying it was one of “the best wings I’ve had in a long time.” For his complete order, Lee rated it a 9.8 out of 10:
“That’s almost as high as I get. For real,” Lee said. “I one-hundred-and-ten-percent understand while The Breakfast Klub is a staple in Houston. This food: immaculate. I mess around and come back to Houston just for that.”
