Best Texan Cuisine: Latuli
Chef Bryan Caswell — of longtime Midtown staple Reef — is back, this time bringing his signature Gulf Coast flavors and love of the Lone Star to Houston’s Memorial neighborhood. At Latuli, he taps local farms and ranches for polished plates that are unmistakably Texan: think smoked redfish and pimento cheese dips, Wagyu barbacoa with sunchoke purée, and field pea posole with pickled serrano. Don’t skip dessert — the seven-layer Texas sheet cake is a worthy showstopper.
