    Midtown Project to Host Conservatory Food Hall, Hot Chicken Eatery The popular hall is coming back, and a California-based spot is joining them. By Timothy Malcolm 2/11/2021 at 11:40am OXBERRY GROUP ANNOUNCED ON THURSDAY that The Crossing at Midtown, its retail project of 19,000 square feet at 610 Dennis St, is fully leased and will include the return of Conservatory food hall and a Houston newcomer, California-based eatery Dave’s Hot Chicken. Conservatory, Houston’s long-running underground food hall at 1010 Prairie St in Downtown Houston, ended operation in late 2019. Since then Underground Hall has opened in the space, and Company of Nomads, which operates Conservatory, has talked about re-opening the concept in another part of the city. At The Crossing at Midtown, Conservatory will be a 17,250-square-foot space with a 4,000-square-foot garden patio. Dave’s Hot Chicken, which specializes in Nashville hot chicken tenders and sliders, will occupy a 2,500-square-foot space at The Crossing at Midtown. In 2018 Dave’s was born in East Hollywood, California, and now has about a dozen locations throughout California and in Toronto, Ontario. Late in 2020, it was reported that the fast-casual restaurant will be opening more than two-dozen units in Texas, with most coming to Houston. Oxberry Group says to expect the businesses to open either in spring or summer; we’ve reached out to Company of Nomads for more information about Conservatory’s opening and will update with more information.

    The Ion announces three restaurants for its Midtown innovation hub Black-owned Late August and Stuff'd Wings will be among the culinary offerings at The Ion and its innovation district campus Greg Morago February 11, 2021Updated: February 11, 2021, 5:13 pm Black chefs and operators will figure prominently in culinary offerings planned for The Ion and the innovation district redevelopment of the former Sears in Midtown. The Ion announced three restaurant projects Thursday, including Late August, a new concept from chefs Chris Williams of Lucille’s and his James Beard Award semifinalist partner chef Dawn Burrell, and a brick-and-mortar location for Third Ward food truck Stuff’d Wings. Both are Black-owned businesses. Late August, one of the culinary and lifestyle projects under the recently launched Lucille’s Hospitality Group, will feature an Afro-Asian menu from Burrell, serving lunch, dinner and brunch. The restaurant’s name is inspired by Sears whose catalog was traditionally released in late August prior to the holiday shopping season. Stuff’d Wings, which will be located adjacent to Ion, is the first stand-alone restaurant from food truck operators Jarrod and Prisoria Rector whose food truck at 6402 Tierwester has developed a loyal following. Their restaurant will feature their signature wings, chicken and pork boudin, seafood boudin, macaroni and chese, dirty rice, loaded fries, and milkshakes. The 2,400-square-foot restaurant will include an outdoor patio. The Ion’s third culinary partner announced Thursday will be a Common Bond Café project, the bakery and bistro brand that already enjoys a strong footprint in Houston. The Common Bond On-the-Go Ion will feature a grab-and-go menu of baked goods, breakfast, cold sandwiches, salads, and coffee drinks. The restaurant will offer both indoor and outdoor seating. All three projects are expected to open early summer as part of the transformation of the former Sears at 4201 Main and the surrounding Innovation District, part of Rice University’s Ion innovation hub. “The new restaurants coming to The Ion and District showcase Houston’s deep culinary culture and local flare that Houstonians identify and connect with. We’re excited for The Ion and District to be a place that celebrates and supports Houston’s diverse entrepreneurial community,” said Sam Dike, manager of strategic initiatives at Rice Management Company, which is leading the development of The Ion and surrounding District. https://preview.houstonchronicle.com/dining/the-ion-announces-three-restaurants-for-its-15943377

    https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/houston/article/UH-College-of-Medicine-joins-Texas-Medical-Center-15940840.php UH College of Medicine joins Texas Medical Center The University of Houston College of Medicine has become the Texas Medical Center’s 63rd member institution, according to a university release. The new partnership is a gain for UH’s medical school, the first new medical institution in Houston in nearly 50 years. The College of Medicine, which welcomed its inaugural class of 30 students in the fall, has emphasized its goal of aiding underserved communities and addressing a shortage of primary care physicians throughout Houston and greater Texas. TMC’s network, which sees more than 10 million patients a year, is home to MD Anderson Cancer Center and Texas Children’s Hospital, the largest children’s hospital in the world. “We are elated to join the Texas Medical Center as a member institution and look forward to engaging with colleagues at other institutions to advance clinical issues and best practices, and further joint research endeavors,” said Dr. Stephen Spann, founding dean of the medical school. Spann, who also recently joined TMC’s advisory board, said the medical school can assist with the coronavirus pandemic. “The tragedy of the COVID-19 pandemic has paradoxically produced an opportunity to address larger issues facing our health care systems, such as health equity,” he said. “Together with our TMC partners, we can help be part of the solution.” As a member institution, the medical school will also have the opportunity to collaborate with TMC’s University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, Baylor College of Medicine, the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston and Texas A&M College of Medicine. The medical school continues to expand its services and initiatives. Last semester, the college virtually launched a Household-Centered Care program, which teams social workers with healthcare professionals to create a network to aid communities in hopes of improving their health. And more recently the college announced its use of Unite Us, a newly launched electronic platform that provides a network of resources, partners and service providers for patients. A new building for the college is under construction on the campus and is slated to open next summer. The three-story, 130,000 square-foot building will feature modern classrooms and meeting spaces and anatomy and simulation suites. brittany.britto@chron.com

    Get Ready to Cheer on Two Houston Stars on Top Chef Dawn Burrell and Sasha Grumman will compete against 13 others. By Timothy Malcolm 2/8/2021 at 4:28pm ABOUT A WEEK AGO I checked the Bravo website to see if Top Chef Season 18 contestants had been announced. Nope. Not yet. A few minutes later while raiding my refrigerator I asked myself which Houston-area chefs were at the level of competing on the popular cooking show. The very quick and incomplete list that I imagined started with three names: Anita Jaisinghani (Pondicheri), Nick Wong (UB Preserv), and Dawn Burrell (formerly Kulture, soon to be Late August). On Monday Bravo revealed a list of the 15 contestants battling on Top Chef, which was filmed in Portland with some very strict Covid-19 regulations in play. I was right on one of my picks: Burrell will be there. But so will another Houston chef, small business owner and chef Sasha Grumman. Check out the video teaser here for the new season, which begins at 8 p.m. April 1 on Bravo. You’ll see both Burrell and Grumman, who’ve both pivoted hard in 2020 and have found themselves happy on the other side. Later in 2021, Burrell will open Late August as part of Chris Williams’s new company, Lucille’s Hospitality Group, while Grumman, who started 2020 at Downtown Italian restaurant Rosalie, is finding success selling homemade focaccia and cinnamon buns from her apartment kitchen. It’s pretty great news for the Houston culinary scene. We can’t wait to watch.

    I'm not sure what happened but my Strava app shut off while at the Buffalo Bayou trail pics in downtown. But my iWatch logged me with 24 miles.

    So I don't know if this means anything but Iron Accents has moved out and has a sign on the door. Portions of the concrete have been removed here and in front of the building next door for what I assume is plumbing and gas disconnect. Bavarian Motor Specialists still seems to be in operation.

    The amount of dirt it's going to take to build the land bridge is incredible. I wonder where they get it from? Do they coordinate with other projects digging dirt out of their projects? Tunnels. Eastbound Memorial Drive.

    All the construction fencing has come down and they are now starting to install what looks like a wrought iron fencing in the front so far.
