Chris Shepherd

"There are actually very few people living in Houston that are originally from here, so we have access to so many cultures—things to see and things to taste. People need to take advantage of that."

Midwest-raised Chef Chris Shepherd spent weekends as a child scouring farms throughout Oklahoma in search of straight-from-the-vine tomatoes, fresh corn and peas. Today, he’s the mastermind manning the stoves at Houston’s Spanish-leaning, boundary-pushing Catalan restaurant—a place Robb Report recently declared one of its 100 Favorite Restaurants in the world. There, the Art Institute-alum and former Executive Sous Chef-turned-Sommelier of Brennan’s brings his farm-to-table passion to fruition in decadent dishes like the wildly-popular crisp pork belly with cane syrup and Foie gras bon bons.
