Popular Post Mab Posted June 21, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted June 21, 2016 (edited) Quote It’s been a whirlwind of a year for chef Hugo Ortega and business partner/wife Tracy Vaught. The power couple launched newly minted H-Town Restaurant Group and opened their first restaurant across the southern border. The momentum continued as Ortega nabbed another James Beard Awards Best Chef nod for celebrated Hugo’s, while his better half earned her first nomination for Outstanding Restaurateur. And the husband and wife team are just warming up. On the heels of seven-time All Star Craig Biggio announcing his swanky sports bar set to open at Marriott Marquis, comes buzz of another high-profile joint venture. The posh downtown hotel is rumored to partner with Ortega and Vaught for a new restaurant. While there hasn’t been official word confirming the duo having a concept on the table, there are possible clues. Here’s what we know so far: Vaught established an entity for a company called Rosalina LLC last December. Filed under Rosalina LLC is the business name Xochi. There is also a registered domain for Xochi, tracing back to Vaught. Something is certainly on the menu for the husband and wife team. Whether it’s Xochi, the rumored downtown restaurant under wraps, remains a mystery for now. As downtown Houston shifts from a fast food chain haven, better and varied dining options continue to emerge. Local restaurateurs are embracing the city’s epicenter, creating a destination not only for entertainment but culinary adventures. Look no further than Pappas Bros. Steakhouse, JW Marriott’s Main Kitchen, Prohibition Supperclub & Bar and Conservatory, the recently opened underground beer garden and food hall as proof. Or Bryan Caswell and Bill Floyd’s (Reef, Little Bigs and Jackson Street BBQ) forthcoming Italian joint ventures with Astros owner Jim Crane. Even chef Philippe Verpiand of Uptown Park’s Étoile has avested interest. Whatever Ortega and Vaught have up their sleeves, they’ll be in good company. 6 http://intheknowhouston.com/hugo-ortega-tracy-vaught-downtown-houston-restaurant/ Edited June 21, 2016 by Mab 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samagon Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 I can't specifically remember December 5th last year. I wonder, were all those people wearing coats so they would feel like it was winter ice skating, or was it really cold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rechlin Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 December 5th had a low of 44 and a high of 68, with the temperature being above 60 from 11am to 6:30pm, so it seems everyone in the photo just overdressed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cspwal Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 It does get a bit colder when you're on the ice, and you want padding for falling on your butt, but a light sweater probably would do 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 I rode my bicycle through Disco Green today for the first time since the Pokemon Go was released and the Pokey Zombies were everywhere, I had to dodge them as they aren't really paying attention to anything but their phones. At least they are getting out and discovering their cities while getting a little exercise. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urbannizer Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 http://houston.culturemap.com/news/restaurants-bars/07-20-16-hugo-ortega-new-restaurant-downtown-houston-marriott-marquis/ The hotel has already announced it will be home to a sports bar affiliated with Houston Astros Hall of Famer Craig Biggio, but rumors have swirled for the past year that another restaurant in the hotel would be helmed by "a James Beard-nominated chef," as CultureMap's Marcy de Luna reported last year. Well, the deal appears to be done, and the hotel got its chef. Hugo Ortega and Tracy Vaught, the five time James Beard Award finalist and his wife/business partner known for acclaimed restaurants Hugo's, Caracol, and Backstreet Cafe, are making plans to open a restaurant in the hotel. Rosalina, LLC, a company owned by Vaught, has signed an agreement with the Marquis to open a restaurant called Xochi, according to a UCC Financing Statement filed with Harris County Clerk Stan Stanart that was sent to CultureMap by a reader (New blog In the Know Houston first made theconnection between Vaught and Rosalina). So far, representatives for both Vaught and Ortega and the Marquis have declined CultureMap's request to comment on their plans. "This project/announcement is going to be a group effort, and all parties involved have come to an agreement on how/when to break the news as a group," publicist Paula Murphy writes in an email. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
