"Plenty of hearty plates from the newly minted One Fifth: Southern Comfort pair well with the classic hot toddy, on the menu for $12. The earthy concoction melds bourbon, chicory, cinnamon and hot water allowing for long, slow sips. Order online at https://www.onefifthhouston.com." - Megha McSwain
"Chef Chris Shepherd’s ever-changing restaurant is currently focusing on a Gulf Coast theme, which means that the Houston-obsessed chef is seriously in his element. Start dinner with Texas stone crab claws and a muffaletta salad, then dig into duck that’s lacquered with cane syrup, wood-roasted flounder amandine, or fresh Gulf catch served with jalapeno corn chowder." - Nadia Gire
"Chef Chris Shepherd, a James Beard award winner, is launching One Fifth Mediterranean, his third eatery focused on Mediterranean food. The restaurant will feature mezze plates of pickled veggies, hummus, tzatziki, baba ghanoush, and pita bread made in a wood-fired oven, plus skewered meats and chicken drumsticks cooked over hot embers. Shepherd has a reputation for unconventional dishes, having served shots of bone marrow and bolognese spiked with duck heart in the past. Previous concepts included One Fifth Romance Languages and One Fifth Steak, each offering unique culinary experiences." - Alaena Hostetter
