This beautiful truffled egg and asparagus salad is the creation of world renowned chef Andrew Weissman who continues to delight crowds at his new Il Sogno restaurant at the historic Pearl Brewery. Il Sogno means ‘the dream’ – and after you taste this salad, you’ll dream about it for days to come.
The beautiful restaurant sits on one of the highest points in all of San Antonio.

As hot as it is outside, how about some beautiful delicious crab cakes? Morton’s crab cakes are incredible, and they are so easy to make. I usually make enough to have leftovers the next day…what a treat.
