Chefs Aaron Franklin and Tyson Cole Will Open Loro’s Second Houston Location in 2023 | Eater Houston

"Announced as the fifth Texas outpost from James Beard Award–winning pitmaster Aaron Franklin and Chef Tyson Cole (of Franklin Barbecue and Uchi), this Southampton location will fuse traditional Texas barbecue and smoked meats with Southeast Asian and Japanese–inspired sauces and herbs. The menu highlights include inventive appetizers such as candied kettle corn topped with burnt brisket ends, rice bowls, sandwiches, and a standout fried cod prepared in a curry, turmeric, and Pale Ale tempura batter finished with a yuzu Thousand Island dressing. Guests can also expect boozy slushies, batch cocktails, beer, wine, and sake. Designed by Abel Design Group and Hai Design Studio to encourage gathering, the restaurant will seat about 200 people total — roughly 75 of those outdoors — and the site rendering shows retail space, bike racks, and a front patio." - Brittany Britto Garley
