One of Houston's most celebrated culinary couples has made a major donation to the institution that helped their success. Chef Hugo Ortega and his wife, restaurateur Tracy Vaught, and their daughter Sophia donated $100,400 to the Houston Community College Foundation.
The gift establishes the Chef Hugo Ortega Endowment, which will provide scholarships to students studying in HCC's culinary arts program. In addition, the lobby of HCC's new Culinary Arts Building will be named in his honor.
