oxheart, bon appetit

This labor day weekend has been a memorable one as my family ventured up to Houston, Texas for a taste from the new restaurant "Oxheart". For the past few months, my older brother Sam has broken off from the corporate world to take a shot at being a chef. His first gig is at the newly opened restaurant "Oxheart" which just landed the number eight spot on bon appetit's "America's Best New Restaurant" list. Needless to say this was a special dining experience for my family with a bonus of being delicious.

The open kitchen in the 40 person restaurant.

An old building with exposed brick and double doors opens up into a quiet and quaint space. With only 40 seats a night and an estimated time of a 2 hour dinner, the eating experience is an intimate one you do not often come by.

Finally catching a moment to make my mom happy with a picture.

If you ever find yourself feeling adventurous in Houston, Texas feel free to check out Oxheart on Nance Street. I would be sure to call ahead for reservations though since it books up fairly quickly.



eat well & live accordingly,
