    Five things to know

    5 things to know about Houston dining right now, including a hot bar opening

    Eric Sandler

    Obviously, the CultureMap Tastemaker Awards are the biggest topic of conversation in the Houston restaurant community this week, but a few other topics are worth noting. Here's five things to know this week.

     

    The wait to experience Reserve 101 owner Mike Raymond's new bar has almost come to an end. The Cottonmouth Club will open to the public on April 13. Located at 108 Main St. in the historic Brewster Building (formerly the site of Barringer Bar), Raymond and his partners, acclaimed bartender Michael Neff and designer Greg Swanson, describe the Cottonmouth Club as "the least cocktail-y cocktail bar we could come up with."

     

    First revealed on CultureMap's What's Eric Eating podcast, the bar will offer both classic cocktails and Neff's original creations, as well as proprietary whiskey blends aged in barrels from Houston's Yellow Rose Distillery.

     

     Ben Berg is busy putting his stamp on Carmelo’s Ristorante Italiano, the beloved Memorial-area restaurant he purchased from owner Carmelo Mauro in December. The restaurant, which has been renamed Carmelo’s Cucina Italiana, now features a new menu created by Berg's brother Daniel that features housemade pastas as well as the same quality meats served at Berg's steakhouse B&B Butchers. Sommelier Lexey Johnson has authored a new wine list focused on Italian varietals priced from $65 to $95.

     

    “My goal is to make Carmelo’s the best Italian restaurant in the city not only for its food but also for its ambiance. We want every guest to feel like family,” said Ben Berg in a statement. “I am confident the team we have in place can achieve this.”

     

    It's said that there's no such thing as a free lunch, but next week there will be free breakfast. Dish Society, the farm-to-table neighborhood restaurant with three Houston-area locations, will offer one free breakfast item Monday through Thursday from 7 am to 10:30 am. Here's the schedule:

     
       
    • Monday, April 9: Sausage, Egg & Cheese Biscuit - Black Hill Ranch pork sausage, fried cage-free egg, and Swiss cheese on a house buttermilk biscuit (regularly $5.50).
    •  
    • Tues, April 10: Two House Breakfast Tacos - choice of corn or flour tortillas, cage-free eggs, all natural bacon, and white cheddar. Served with house salsa (regularly $7.50).
    •  
    • Wed, April 11: Traditional Breakfast Plate - Two cage-free eggs any style, two pieces all-natural bacon, whole grain toast, and seasonal fruit (regularly $9.50).
    •  
    • Thurs, Apr 12: Chicken & Biscuits - Two house buttermilk biscuits topped with fried cage-free chicken and house gravy (regularly $11.50).
    •  
     

    Drip coffee (from local roaster Greenway) is always free Monday through Friday during breakfast hours.

     

     Fresco! Café Italiano, an Italian restaurant that opened last fall at 3277 Southwest Freeway, is finally ready to celebrate its official grand opening. The restaurant, which is led by Italian chef Roberto Crescini (formerly of Enoteca Rossa in Bellaire), offers approximately a dozen different styles of fresh pasta that can be matched with seven different sauces and one of three proteins. From April 23 to 27, diners who purchase 10-ounces of sauce to-go will receive 14-ounces of pasta to-go.

     

    Good news for Underbelly superfans who want to own a small piece of the recently-shuttered restaurant. Chairs ($75 to $175) and barstools ($350) that aren't making the trip to UB Preserv are all for sale. Email general manager Katy Brittain to inquire about available, payment, and pickup.

    Wagyu carpaccio is new on the menu at Carmelo's.

    Austin burger favorite P. Terry’s continues its expansion into Houston this Monday, July 21. The restaurant will open its third Houston-area location in Richmond’s Aliana neighborhood.

    Located at 10305 W Grand Pkwy S, the drive-through-only location is less than 10 miles from P. Terry’s first Houston-area outpost at 9207 FM 723 that opened last year. A location in Spring opened in April.

    Founded in 2005, P. Terry’s has built a devoted following for its burgers, chicken sandwiches, fries, and milkshakes. The restaurant is known for its high quality ingredients such as hormone-free Black Angus beef, Idaho potatoes, and cage-free eggs. Prices are affordable, with a single-patty cheeseburger starting at $3.65.

    In a video shared on social media, co-founder Patrick Terry assures Houstonians that the brand will eventually push closer to downtown.

    “I want everyone in Houston to know that right now we’re concentrating on the west side of the city, and we are heading central,” he says. “You’ve just got to give us a little time, but our commitment right now is to Houston.”

    While the timing of those other locations is still uncertain, the restaurant has at least one more Houston-area location slated for the Village Green at Bridgeland Central development in Cypress. It’s expected to open later this year.

    The Aliana location will be open beginning at 7 am Monday through Friday and 8 am on Saturday and Sunday.
