"A 14,000-square-foot food hall in the North Loop that received a splashy update in early 2025 from the hospitality group behind Travail Kitchen and Amusements. Founders and James Beard semifinalists Mike Brown, Bob Gerken, and James Winberg installed an OG pop-up Umami by Travail in January (featuring dumplings from Saturday Dumpling Co.), and subsequent openings include Tixtli by Nixta from Gustavo and Kate Romero of Nixta Tortilleria/Oro by Nixta and Caja Fried Chicken from Margo and Alex Roberts of Restaurant Alma and Brasa, the latter focusing on New Orleans Creole and Southern fried chicken." - Serena Maria Daniels
