The Kitchen Table: Brennan's of Houston
Author: Randy Evans
The Kitchen Table is the experience of enjoying dinner in the private dining room within the kitchen of Brennan's of Houston-ringside! From that vantage point, in command central of that superlative restaurant, friends of Brennan's of Houston can observe the line cooks, the dishwashers, the salad and pastry chefs as they move with snappy efficiency and athletic energy around the gleaming kitchen festooned with copper pans. For groups of as many as ten friends or family at The Kitchen Table, the chefs prepare customized tastes from the lavish menu over which Executive Chef Randy Evans presides.
Under Chef Evans' inventive leadership is unfolding at Brennan's of Houston an exciting revival of classic dishes with an evolving of Texas Creole cuisine into the now. Customers become friends of Brennan's, and, says Chef Randy, "We keep our customers thinking, personally educating them and moving their palates forward."
The Kitchen Table: Brennan's of Houston opens with "Diaries of the Kitchen Table," customers' telling what they saw, heard, tasted, and learned while dining in the center of the action. Following are chapters corresponding to the seven courses served at The Kitchen Table, from lagniappe through dessert and including "the forgotten course," cheese. The kitchen is open at Brennan's of Houston!
