The Besh empire is well-known for local New Orleans restaurants like Restaurant August, Luke, Borgne, and many others. Not only are these restaurants reputable, but the food is delicious!

There are plenty of restaurants in Houston, but I’m so surprised by this “local” food joint! Decor is very cool yet still very casual. Truffle Egg Salad. Market greens. Parmesan. Aioli. Pretzel bun. Posole. Green chili. Chicken. Cilantro. Lime. Duck Confit. Arugula. Cranberry Preserve Aioli. This has to be my favorite sandwich joint in Houston!
