Roots | Tex-Mex Enchilada Gravy
It almost pains me to give up this recipe. Almost. But I think everyone should try hyper-local specialties: Texas style enchiladas with chili gravy; Taylor ham, egg and cheese; mirabelles. It’s a taste of place. It should be a bite that makes you say, “Yes, this is what it tastes like in San Antonio.” “This… Read More Roots | Tex-Mex Enchilada Gravy
Spanish Tapas | Almond Toasts
Lately I’ve been enjoying the idea of meals with lots of little bites. Doesn’t matter the country or the culture. Just about everybody has the concept. Sunday, with the addition of some sage flower sangria (the sage flower syrup was from my friend Kate) we had a lovely meal of Spanish tapas. My favorite bite… Read More Spanish Tapas | Almond Toasts
Puffy Tacos | Leftover Brisket Part 3: Son of Braised Brisket
This is a seriously regional favorite. So seriously regional that much of Texas won’t even know what these are. Only the folks from San Antonio will smile knowingly and nod their head, saying, “Yes.

They are typically leftovers and eggs wrapped in a warm flour tortilla. They usually consist of some combination of the following… Read More Breakfast Tacos, San Antonio Style
South Texas Locavore | Mushrooms on Toast, Poached Backyard Egg
I am so happy to have a friend who is raising beautiful chickens. Her name is Mylene, and her urban “farm” in a North San Antonio neighborhood produces all manner of vegetables and flowers, and as of November, the little jewels that star in this dish. Upon arrival, I found her chickens happily pecking around Mackey Farms, softly clucking their… Read More South Texas Locavore | Mushrooms on Toast, Poached Backyard Egg
Dining Out | Lunch at Lüke
South Texas has a long growing season, plentiful meats, feathered and furred game, and lots of space to grow and roam. Why has it been so hard to find it? I had an opportunity to meet CIA-trained Chef Steve McHugh after a demo at the Pearl Farmer’s Market. He may be planting the flag for San Antonio’s late-… Read More Dining Out | Lunch at Lüke
