I’ve been a longtime fan of Chef Steven McHugh. What a hard worker he is…and his new spot Cured is certainly proof that of that. Located in the Pearl (I’m sure you’ve heard!), it’s a culinary gem for charcuterie, salumi and other hand-made, farm-to-table dishes. The Oyster Turnip Bisque is sensational! It’s creamy and flavorful with a great consistency as we transition into Spring. Enjoy!
To those in the know, Chef Hugo Ortega’s name is synonymous with quality…and creativity, integrity, diligence, talent…the list of adjectives could fill this page. His long-time successful dining spots–Hugo’s, Prego’s and Backstreet Café–never disappoint. So, Chef Hugo fans, it should come as no surprise that his new Uptown venture, Caracol, shines as well…
Get ready to push the “reset” button and get back to a centered way of living. Tasty raw (and vegan) smoothies, juices and soups to help you feel better, get healthier and lose weight!
This piping hot recipe comes from the Barrios Family of La Hacienda de Los Barrios. Try serving with finely chopped serrano chiles to garnish the menudo. Warm corn or flour tortillas are also a must!
