San Antonio Chef Steve McHugh’s Hotel Restaurant and Bar Luminaire and Las Bis Are Open - Eater Austin
"And then, up on the eighth floor is Las Bis, the bar with a nice patio overlooking downtown Austin. The space is a bar first, but McHugh didn’t want food to be an afterthought. He and his wife and business partner Sylvia traveled to Barcelona years ago where they dined at tapas restaurant Quimet & Quimet, and were enamored with the conservas. Since then, “we’ve always had this idea to create a bar or restaurant that worked with tins,” he says. It worked for Las Bis, since they wanted to make food that was easy to prepare and serve. This means plated tin options from Jose Gourmet, Fishwife, Conservas de Cambados, and others." - Nadia Chaudhury
