"At Encina, everyone loves brunch, including the staff, and you can tell they put their heart into it. The earthy-sweet blue corn pancakes at Bishop Arts are proof that everything really is bigger in Texas, while the hash browns are as thick as a deck of cards—and crunchy enough that you’ll need to ask your dining partner to repeat themselves. Beyond brunch, if there’s such a thing as a Texan brasserie, this is it, with dinner dishes like a charred pork chop served over braised collard greens and cheesy, poblano-specked grits. How about a bourbon cocktail with a creole shrub? Three yesses will do." - Nick Rallo
