Love Bugs & Love Bites
Feb 14 | The Health Museum
Searching for something, shall we say, different for Valentine’s Day? Look no further. Chefs David Cordúa and Jason Hayes have teamed up to prepare a three-course meal that incorporates crickets into every dish. Yes, you read that right, we said crickets (which surprisingly have a lot protein for their size). Feast on romantic culinary pairings such as corn and cricket arepas, pan-seared chicken with a cricket mole negro, and cricket and cayenne chocolate truffles. Because nothing says romance quite like meals that used to chirp. Before your bae says, “We need to talk,” yes, there will be insect-less options for any entomophobes out there.
Tickets from $59. The Health Museum 1515 Hermann Dr. 713-521-1515 More info and tickets at thehealthmuseum.org.

Whiskey Myers
Feb 15 | Revention Music Center
These country rockers have come a long way since their start in Palestine, Texas, more than a decade ago. After having their music prominently featured on the Kevin Costner series Yellowstone (and making an on-camera appearance themselves), the band was tapped to open for the Rolling Stones, and their latest record, last year’s self-titled Whiskey Myers, reached No. 1 on the Billboard Country charts. If you want to show these East Texas boys some home-state love this Saturday, you better hurry—their show’s nearly sold out.
From $55. Revention Music Center, 520 Texas Ave. 713-230-1600. More info and tickets at reventionmusiccenter.com.
