Watermelon, strawberry, mint — cold-pressed before the first loop.
The slowest letter the kitchen writes, and the one that tastes most like where it's from. A dark roux — coffee-colored, built low and slow until it smells like toasted pecan — anchors okra, andouille, and Gulf shrimp pulled from the docks before sunrise. Filé stirred in off the heat, long rice on the side. It's a pot that carries the Third Ward with it.
White miso and dashi broth with silken tofu, scallion, and wakame — the first quiet pot of the morning.
Simmered Saturday-market carrots with ginger, onion, and garlic in vegetable stock.
Dear Houston,
I grew up in Lafayette watching my family cook like the food was the conversation — not the thing before it. Every pot was a sentence. Every meal was something worth saying.
I took that with me to New York, to the Culinary Institute of America, where I learned the craft behind what my family had always done by instinct. Then I brought all of it here.
Houston fed me back. It showed me its neighborhoods, its people, its appetite for something real. So I started writing back the only way I know how.
Dear Houston is a love letter to this city. Made fresh every morning. Delivered to your door. Named after the streets and the wards and the places that make this city what it is.
The food is the letter. The morning is the salutation. The city writes back.
Much Love,
Chef Pat
