The Houston restaurant group behind Georgia James, UB Preserv, One Fifth, Hay Merchant and Blacksmith on Wednesday announced two new concepts.
Underbelly Hospitality from James Beard Award-winning chef Chris Shepherd is set to open Wild Oats restaurant in summer 2021 and Georgia James Tavern in spring/early summer 2021.
Wild Oats
Wild Oats, a full-service restaurant at Houston Farmers Market at 2520 Airline Dr., shines the spotlight on Texas cuisine by Houston native Nick Fine.
Dishes, made with locally sourced ingredients, include a house take on shrimp diablo featuring masa in a nod to tamales.
Mark your calendars, because you don’t want to miss these deliciously fun culinary happenings: UB Preserv, 1609 Westheimer, is offering an ace New Year’s Day Snack Pack, available for preorder through Sunday, December 27 and with pickup from 5 p.m. to 1 a.m. on New Year’s Eve or noon to 2 p.m. on New Year’s Day. Features include housemade Fritos and black-eyed pea dip, collard green samosas and chutney, a Japanese egg salad sandwich, a Mala pork cracklin’s, pickle, cheese, and sausage plate, cold fried chicken with coleslaw and pepper jelly, and build-your-own ice cream sandwiches. The entire set is $65 and serves two people.
Rejoice, fair Houstonians: Patio season is truly here, inviting us to dine outdoors in rather comfortable weather. Emphasis on rather, because as we ve seen, that weather can also be quite chilly . or downright cold, depending on your adjustment level. Luckily, just about everyone who operates a restaurant in this city knows that once the cooler temperatures start hitting, a few strategically placed heaters and some well-placed covers can do wonders for the patio experience.
We ve put together a list of restaurants across the Bayou City that not only have patios, but also the necessary means to keep you warm and cozy as fall settles in.
