Texans wide receiver Chris Conley has launched a new YouTube miniseries, The Conman Cravings, in which he explores the community and culture of Houston through its food.
"Hello Houston!" he writes in the description of his first episode, which premiered Wednesday on his YouTube channel. "Thank you for welcoming me with open arms. I couldn't think of a better way to get to know the Houston culture and community than visiting some of the most iconic eateries around the area."
The first episode takes place at Coltivare in the Heights, where chef/owner Ryan Pera opened the restaurant early to give Conley a tour of Coltivare's famed garden, kitchen and signature dishes.
Conley, an avid streamer and aspiring filmmaker, teased the series in a trailer on Aug. 22 that he first previewed on Twitch. Upcoming videos will be released on YouTube every Wednesday at 12 p.m. CST for the next four weeks.

2) Burns Original BBQ (Sept. 15)
3) The Breakfast Klub (Sept. 22)

Oswald Peraza hit a two-run single in the ninth inning to help the Los Angeles Angels snap a three-game losing skid by beating the Houston Astros 4-1 on Saturday night.
Peraza entered the game as a defensive replacement in the seventh inning and hit a bases-loaded fly ball to deep right field that eluded the outstretched glove of Cam Smith. It was the fourth straight hit off Astros closer Bryan Abreu (3-4), who had not allowed a run in his previous 12 appearances.
The Angels third run of the ninth inning scored when Mike Trout walked with the bases loaded.
Kyle Hendricks allowed one run while scattering seven hits over six innings. He held the Astros to 1 for 8 with runners in scoring position, the one hit coming on Jesús Sánchez’s third-inning infield single that scored Jeremy Peña.
Reid Detmers worked around a leadoff walk to keep the Astros scoreless in the seventh, and José Fermin (3-2) retired the side in order in the eighth before Kenley Jansen worked a scoreless ninth to earn his 24th save.
Houston’s Spencer Arrighetti struck out a season-high eight batters over 6 1/3 innings. The only hit he allowed was Zach Neto’s third-inning solo home run.
