Georgia James - Houston
Houston chef Chris Shepherd transforms his widely acclaimed Underbelly restaurant into contemporary steakhouse Georgia James.
Read MoreThe restaurant is named in honor of Shepherd's parents and is based on the successful One Fifth Steak, which was his first-ever concept. Georgia James takes a page out of One Fifth Steak's (cook)book with steaks cooked in cast irons. Chilled seafood is also a menu highlight.
Menu favorites like the Airman salad, featuring an original Caesar salad recipe, are featured, as well as the baller boards, Chris’ version of a chef tasting served on huge wooden boards. Raw bar offerings range from a seafood tower to a charred octopus salad topped with candied spiced citrus, salsa verde and olives.
Chef Shepherd's beverage team skillfully matches dishes with wines, spirits and cocktails like the signature Sign O' the Times (american peach brandy, unaged carrot brandy, benedictine, bitters).
