STUDIO NOTES
I dare you to find anyone in Houston doing more to shine a light on the diverse culinary community than my friend Chris. He pushes boundaries and more importantly, brings people together. In Cook Like A Local, you'll see how his city influences his cooking. If you like fish sauce...this is your book. If you think you don't like fish sauce...this is also your book as these recipes will show you the light. Bonus, Chris and his team run the Southern Smoke Foundation which is leading the way to helping to build a better hospitality community both in Houston and across the country. -Keith
