Common Bond Chef Cooks Up Comfort Food at New Restaurant in the Heights

Common Bond Chef Cooks Up Comfort Food at New Restaurant in the Heights

Curried Mussels

JASON GOULD IS best known as the chef behind Common Bond, one of Houston’s go-to spots for easy French-inspired bites and pastries. But now, Gould has created a comfort-food menu for another locally-owned resto — 1891 American Eatery & Bar in the Heights. It’s part of a partnership with Garza Management Group that has recently taken over Common Bond. Boasting an expansive patio, the new resto describes itself as having a “family-friendly pub atmosphere."

The decadent flavors of Common Bond carry over nicely to 1891, with dishes like the sweet-corn-and-bacon pizza (the dough is made in-house, naturally). There’s also the savory curried mussels and salmon tartare to start. But don’t skip the bacon-wrapped hot dog; ask for extra napkins for this the juicy handheld delight. The wide variety of entrees include fun French-meets-Texas options like the truffled brisket and steak frites.

While a cold beer always hits the spot on the patio, 1891 offers an impressive cocktail menu. The Dirty Chai Tini is an espresso martini meets chai latte libation. For the bourbon drinkers, pick between the Texas Bourbon Flight or the Fancy Bourbon Flight.

And starting today, 1891 is offering daily meal specials like Taco Tuesday with a margarita and three tacos, or a burger and a beer on Thursdays for $20.

Thrive & Inspire: ‘Results for Clients’ in Oil and Gas Drives Michelman & Robinson’s Varnado

Lauren Varnado, Houston Office Managing Partner at Michelman & Robinson, LLP and sought-after oil and gas lawyer

WHAT WAS THE highlight of 2022 at your business? That’s easy, launching Michelman & Robinson in Houston was, for me, the absolute high point of 2022 — and that’s in a year that included so many highlights. Without question, being named the firm’s Houston Office Managing Partner is and was a professional milestone that I’m so very proud of. That I’ve already been able to expand the office to 10 of us (and growing) and significantly move the needle in terms of the firm’s reach within the energy space is icing on the cake.

Wellness Pro LeBrina Jackson on Gratitude at the Holidays: It’s a ‘Reset Button for my Mind’

LeBrina Jackson

AS WE GET into the holiday season, we’re reminded of what we have, what we want and what might be lacking. As Sheryl Crow says in her song, Soak up the Sun, “It’s not having what you want, it’s wanting what you've got.” We caught up with LeBrina Jackson, owner of Escape Spa in Cypress, Texas, and learned how she tackles the holiday season with hope, love and most importantly, gratitude.
