Everyone has their loyalties when it comes to Peking (or Beijing) duck in Houston. For inside-the-loop options, though, Duck N Bao in Rice Village obliterates all others. Its version is rich, robust, and comes with a delicious cabbage soup (or lettuce wraps, but the cabbage soup is superior) made with duck trimmings, too. Make sure to order a blooming tea on the side for a refreshingly floral palate cleanse in between fighting your tablemates over the pancakes. —Meredith Nudo, senior culture editor
