Eight Hillstone Recipes in Bon Appetit

Eight Hillstone Recipes in Bon Appetit


I’m lucky to have four of the Hillstone Restaurant Group’s restaurants within a five-mile radius of home. I’m a big fan of Gulfstream, R&D Kitchen, Bandera and Houston’s…all long time local favorites. At each location, there are specific menu items I rarely waiver from repeating over and over, and find many of my friends do the same. The consistency of serving quality food with attentive service in a relaxed setting is impressive. When I stumbled upon this article in Bon Appétit magazine on Hillstone, I immediately searched to see if recipes were included in the write up…and to my pleasure, found a treasure trove of eight. Immediately bookmarked! I’ll be trying all of them at home!

THAI STEAK AND NOODLE SALAD

JUMBO LUMP CRAB CAKES

“THE GREATEST” DEVILED EGGS

DING’S COLESLAW

SPINACH AND CHICKEN WALDORF

HAWAIIAN RIB-EYE STEAK

IRON-SKILLET CORNBREAD

WILD RICE SALAD

Here are just a few notes from the article I found interesting which explain why Hillstone is so special:

“It’s their ability to put out the same great product no matter what the location, again and again, that amazes me”

“…if you were a server at a Hillstone, you would never be saddled with more than three tables. That’s why at every Hillstone ­restaurant, the total number of tables is divisible by three. There are no food runners or bussers. It’s a team effort, which means your server will take your order, but anyone on staff can help you out. The dismissive “Let me get your server” is something you’ll never hear here.”

“…secret formula behind Hillstone’s powerful allure—Is it the napkins with buttonholes, just in case you need to affix one to your shirt? Is it the fact that every location has a single Mauviel copper pot that it uses to toss the just-fried fries with kosher salt in? Or is it the fact that you’ll never have to fix a wobbly table because they’re all drilled into the floor, thereby eliminating the single biggest annoyance in the history of dining?” …”every table should feel like it’s in the VIP section. “Seclusion not exclusion” is his design philosophy.”

“…what Ralph Lauren is to American fashion—approachable, reliable, and nostalgic but forward-thinking—George Biel and the Hillstone Group are to American restaurants.”

The vintage Patricia von Musulin earrings styled b The vintage Patricia von Musulin earrings styled by Roberto Johnson in this story from The Cut take me straight back to the 1980s. I'm sure we carried the exact pair at Lina Lee during my years employed at the Beverly Hills store. If I dig deep, I might still have them!​​​​​​​​

I can’t wait for warmer weather to wear easy sum I can’t wait for warmer weather to wear easy summer looks like this. This #ASCENO would be so simple to dress up or down with jewelry, flats or heels. And these #LOROPIANA brown sandals are fabulous classics. Both pieces would be the starting point for several outfits. 
.
My must have summer accessories will always include stylish sunglasses. The @saltoptics x @amareesnewport frames are my current go-tos checking all the right boxes. Add my new petite Bottega bag and I’ll be good to go.

Meanwhile, I discovered the instagram account of @cauvarjao highlighting gorgeous properties in Brasil and Portugal like the home pictured here. So beautiful! Take a look!

I don't think I'll ever tire of an all white bathr I don't think I'll ever tire of an all white bathroom. Details make all the difference. Let's start with the gorgeous lighting from Urban Electric. Mirrors hung in front of the windows is so pretty and unique too.

Since I’ve edited the contents of what I carry i Since I’ve edited the contents of what I carry in my bag, I’ve been able to downsize. And, with fewer items to transfer from one bag to another, I’m less reluctant to frequently change styles. This has inspired me to curate a collection of small handbags in a variety of colors and shapes. 
.
I’m covering the spectrum – from metallics to brights and pastels. My newest addition is beige. I selected this beautiful chamois hued Bottega Veneta and love how it looks with so many things in my closet. 
.
The obvious pairing is white, black, brown and other neutrals but contrasted with a color, it takes on a very modern note. I also think it plays beautifully with other textures, especially raffia.
