The last thing I would expect for Lil Baby to be on is a banned list, especially in HOUSTON where he spent a lot of time, given his close friendship to past Rockets player James Harden and how much he gives back in the city.
Looks like Lil Baby s face has been added to a banned list for a popular Houston s restaurant.
The question is - WHAT RESTAURANT?
Houston has undergone a hit to their service industry, as one club, Cle just lost their alcohol license from TABC after the result of a shooting that happened over Memorial Day Weekend.
Plus, a beloved Montrose Mediterranean staple is adding a second location.

See, at Truffle Masters they put truffles on everything.
Truffle Masters is one of the most anticipated events on the Houston food calendar. It s when foodies and media folks alike dress up a little and eat a lot of decadent cuisine with a dash (or sometimes dousing) of truffles, for good measure.
Because we re still in a pandemic, Truffle Masters in 2021 will look a little different.
This year s event will be held much like Houston Restaurant Weeks. Participating restaurants throughout Houston (and also Austin, San Antonio, and Dallas) will be featuring a special Truffle Masters menu item February 11â28, with a portion of sales going to the Texas Food & Wine Alliance to help hospitality workers impacted by Covid-19.

As the coronavirus pandemic drags into its 11th month, there is still no end in sight for forced closures and restrictions that have upended the restaurant industry. In fact, things are getting worse, with several states imposing new shutdowns last fall that have yet to be lifted or eased. The latest government report shows layoffs in accommodation and food service totaled 393,000 for the month of November, up from 130,000 in October.
The situation is unsustainable, according to Jonathan Horowitz, CEO of Convive Hospitality Consulting and former president of the Houston Restaurant Association. There are a lot of small businesses restaurants in particular that are just hanging on, he says. Businesses weren t set up to operate at 50 percent capacity or 75 percent capacity, and if the revenue is not there, they just can t hang on forever.
