Whether it’s hot or cold outside, as Texans, it is pre-ordained that we spend lots of time at the grill! This is an amazing, year-round steak. The key is that it is dry-aged. Over time, the flavor builds to a delicious grade. You can’t find this at every supermarket.

Wine & Cheese Pairing Class at Central Market
Sure red wines work well with red meats and white wines with fish and poultry but ever wonder how to pair wine with cheese? Just because the cheese is white doesn’t mean white wine is the best choice.
The Olive Oils I Use
Learning about olive oils is a bit like learning about wine. There are so many brands, they all have different unique taste profiles, and terroir also plays a big role in their flavor as it does with wine.
