Eclectic New Restaurant the Nash Will Open in Downtown Houston - Eater Houston

"Called the Nash, the restaurant is set to open its doors inside the Star, known to most Houstonians as the Texaco building, in January 2021. The space will include a floor-to-ceiling bar, open kitchen complete with a pizza oven, and an outdoor patio that makes bringing your dog to happy hour a possibility. The menu at this “American restaurant and bar” was developed by lauded chef Omar Pereney, who formerly served as executive chef at Peska Seafood Culture, among other gigs. Boasting a laid-back vibe, the Nash will serve an eclectic menu of snacks and dishes that he describes in a press release as a “love letter to American food,” along with plates inspired by Pereney’s Venezuelan heritage. Dishes include Korean-style bacon glazed with gochujang barbecue sauce, short rib papardelle in 12-hour ragu, and pizzas topped with proscuitto, bacon, and corn. Tequeños, or bites of dough-wrapped Venezuelan cheese served with an array of dipping sauces, are also on the menu." - Amy McCarthy
