As you may recall, in my absence I was working on the opening of a restaurant. Opening a new concept can be both adventurous and daunting at times. My past expertise has allowed me the opportunity to sometimes be sought out for these projects. The restaurant that I was hired by is called Maison Pucha Bistro.
Manuel, who is on the left is the executive chef, Christian is the GM, and Victor is the pastry chef. All brother's are equal partners in this multi million dollar business venture. Manuel is an old colleague of mine. I have had the distinct pleasure of watching him grow as a person and a chef. He has worked in some of the top dining establishments in the Manhattan restaurant scene. (Steak Frites, La Goulue, and Orsay) You wouldn't guess it, but these Ecuadorians are now running a thriving French restaurant right in the heart of Houston, TX.
A French chef can be judged solely on his Bouillabaisse.
Chevre Chaud (goat cheese salad)
Coq au Vin
Berkshire Pork Chop with Ratatouille Napoleon
Regular Ass Roasted Chicken
Akaushi Steak Frites
Ecuadorian twist comes with a Shrimp ceviche as an appetizer
Foie Gras Duo (seared and terrine)
Rissotto d Champignon with fresh shaved truffles
Chef Victor Pucha takes home the trophy for world class dessert. As an owner and pastry chef, you can taste the passion in the food.
Profiteroles
Duo Chocolate Souffle
Tarte Tatin
Creme Brulee with Vanilla Manderin Mandelins
grapefruit floating island
As you can see above, the menu of the Pucha brother's are not to be taken lightly. If you find yourself in Houston and craving French food, I suggest that you make it a stop. If you can't find me, I'll probably be dining at Maison Pucha Bistro.

This is so cool. An international affair! Ecuadorean owners and chefs, preparing French cuisine in the USA. The food looks amazing. I'll be sure to try it the next time I'm in Texas!

This is a very cool project. Get them a SteemIt account and show them how to be paid in Steem and you'll have a Homerun! Reading their weekly posts and menus would make me travel to Houston personally to visit.
SteemON!
