Our suggestion? Jonathan Jones (aka @PapaBeav), chef and partner at Beaver's Ice House.

C'mon, Texas Monthly. Do it. (And no, that isn't a real Texas Monthly cover. It's a parody. For now.)
Why? Because Jonathan Jones's kitchen is turning out perhaps the best example of real Texas cuisine in the state. Fresh gulf seafood, expertly prepared. Burgers that are among the best anywhere. Excellent BBQ. Mac and Cheese that's considered by many to be the best in town. Their bar even initiated the cocktail revival that's sweeping across Houston. Heck, Beaver's was our Restaurant of the Year.
Yes! Go JJ!

ReplyDeleteNice photoshop work! :)
That is soooo awesome! I LOVE it! It would be awesome if we not only managed to get JJ on the cover, but if they used your cover as well!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the kind words, Sunny. But I'm sure Texas Monthly has artists that are far more talented... although I wouldn't be surprised if they wanted to use Katherine's great photo.
