It's almost here: Loro Asian Smokehouse, the hot Austin-based restaurant from James Beard winning chefs Tyson Cole and Aaron Franklin, opens its long-awaited Houston outpost soon. To celebrate, parent co Hai Hospitality is hosting a pair of omakase dinners at sister restaurant Uchi on Oct. 17 and 18.

Both omakase dinners will include six flavorful courses crafted by Uchi chef de cuisine Shaun King, plus a handful of meats and sides off the Loro menu — sign us up for the oak-grilled quail with gochujang glaze, please — that will be shared among the table.

The dinner on Oct. 17 will be ticketed and limited to just 20 guests, priced at $250 for two people and including pairings from Saint Arnold Brewing. Tickets go on sale at 10am today via Resy; the link will be shared on Uchi's Instagram.

The one on the following day is open to the public ($175 for two people; pairings may be added a la carte). Reservations may be made over the phone: 713.522.4808.

Helmed by Houston-reared chef Marcos Leal, the H-Town location of Loro is slated to open in a Michael Hsu-designed building at 1001 W. 11th Street later this fall.

Exclusive Furniture’s Sam Zavary Credits Luck, Hard Work and ‘Mom’s Prayers’ for His Success

Exclusive Furniture’s Sam Zavary Credits Luck, Hard Work and ‘Mom’s Prayers’ for His Success

How did you get to where you are today? I am a firm believer that hard work and having dreams that you strive to achieve will motivate and inspire people to achieve their potential. Working hard, dreaming, and making sure to take advantage of every opportunity is something I learned at a young age. I credit God and God’s grace firstly, but I know that success is a direct result of hard work. I tell my podcast subscribers and followers to continue setting goals, evolving, improving, and planning, and I practice what I preach. I am proud to have started my business in the fastest growing major city in the United States, and I attribute a lot of the success of Exclusive Furniture to the family culture we create in the best city — Houston’s diversity, philanthropy, and innovation have helped me achieve a lot of the milestones in the furniture business (and the “low prices”) you see today!
