Get ready for a culinary journey you won’t forget!
Tardif’s American Brasserie has found a loyal following in San Antonio’s upscale Dominion district. This newly opened restaurant serves up fine French cuisine with a Texas twist—and diners are loving it. The braised quail is all Lone Star State, served with a side of Gruyère mac and cheese that’s extra comforting. And we got the lowdown on the sophisticated beef Wellington, a beautiful parcel packed with a Texas-sized filet.
The Refuge Steakhouse & Bourbon Bar in The Woodlands is a whole lot more than a great steak and whiskey joint. It’s worthy of a special occasion, but it’s also a wonderful place to relax and catch some live tunes on the patio. Boasting the largest selection of bourbon in Houston, The Refuge pairs impressive dishes like flaky red snapper with jumbo lump crab and massive double bone-in pork chops with some of the best whiskey around. Our recommended must-order dish? The eponymous steak board, featuring juicy sirloin covered in a spicy chimichurri and served alongside roasted Brussels sprouts and potatoes.
Set sail to Port Neches, where comfort-food classics meet Cajun spice at the Neches River Wheelhouse. Here, you can kick back and relax with friends (socially distanced, if you prefer) on the riverfront patio, share a bucket of beers, and enjoy a cheeseburger in paradise. And the boudin pizza and boudin quesadilla will make your taste buds sing! You won’t want to miss a thing!
A great chef isn’t made by just their recipes or ingredients—the tools they use play a huge part in everything coming together, and knives are at the top of that list. It’s important to have the right ones at your fingertips, as they all serve specific purposes. Barrett Black from The Original Black’s Barbecue gives us some tips, shows us some of his favorites, and shares his variety of uses at the restaurant.
