San Antonio Chef Steve McHugh Is Opening an Austin Restaurant | Eater Austin

"Opened in 2012 in the Pearl development in San Antonio, Cured is a lauded, charcuterie-focused restaurant that attracted national attention and helped establish Steve McHugh’s reputation as a multiple James Beard Award finalist." - Erin Russell

"San Antonio's Charcuterie Showplace Inspired by his time in New Orleans , Chef Steve McHugh brought to San Antonio a vision of a modern, welcoming spot with a killer charcuterie program, and that vision became his buzzy restaurant, Cured. Opened in late 2013 and having survived an on-premise fire, the restaurant has drawn discerning carnivores in for plates like monster 2-pound pork shanks, pork cheek poutine and cabrito sliders, all served in a elegantly utilitarian yet warm space. Not to be missed is the fine in-house charcuterie program -- or the see-through curing room front and center as you walk into the dining room. The wonderfully curated beverage menu features craft beers and wonderfully inventive cocktails. Cured is a must-visit culinary experience on any jaunt to the Alamo City."
