Chicago Restaurant Etta Will Bring Its Hearth-Fired Dishes to Houston | Eater Houston

"A hearth-powered restaurant opening in February 2022 in the Texas Tower at 601 Travis Street, this 6,410-square-foot space is pitched as a relaxed, neighborhood-style spot and likely post-work destination. The menu centers on hearth cooking — pizza cooked on the fire, house-made pasta, fire-baked focaccia, and wood-roasted oysters — and includes a signature “Pig Picnic,” a massive spread of roast pork loin and pork belly served with vegetables, lettuce cups, fresh-baked bread, and sides such as dill yogurt, chimichurri, serrano, Veracruz oil, drippings, and garlic butter. Cocktails and happy-hour-friendly light bites are part of the appeal, highlighted by drinks like a white negori and an “antisocial” spritz made with Aperol, kombucha, and sparkling wine. The restaurant’s name is derived from Hestia, the Greek goddess of the hearth." - Brittanie Shey
