An Innovative Tex-Mex Celebration Presented by Travel Texas
Three of Texas’s most acclaimed chefs, Ana Liz Pulido of Ana Liz Taqueria, Ernest Servantes of Burnt Bean Co., and Thomas Bille of Belly of the Beast will unite for a one-night-only dining experience rooted in heritage and craftsmanship.
A James Beard Award winner® for Best Chef: Texas, chef Pulido brings the spirit of the Rio Grande Valley to the table with cooking that honors the region’s culinary traditions. A James Beard Award semifinalist® and pitmaster behind Texas Monthly’s top barbecue joint, chef Servantes’ skills go far beyond slow-smoked meats, blending chef-driven creativity with small town soul. A James Beard Award winner® for Best Chef: Texas, chef Bille delivers bold, inventive dishes shaped by his Mexican-American heritage and thoughtful technique.
Hosted by Travel Texas, the evening will feature an elevated Tex-Mex menu that highlights regional ingredients and time-honored methods while pushing beyond the expected.
This one-night-only dinner will feature a cocktail reception with passed hors d'oeuvre upon arrival, an expertly crafted multi-course menu with thoughtfully curated wine or beverage pairings, and a Q&A with the featured chefs.
