Landrace, a new destination restaurant helmed by James Beard Award finalist Chef Steve McHugh, opens today in San Antonio’s Arts District. Years in the making, McHugh’s follow-up to his award-winning restaurant Cured honors the pastoral beauty of foods that can be traced back to the land where they are naturally shepherded over time, with seasonal menus that celebrate regional Texas ingredients and heritage growers close to home.

“I became a better chef when I moved to Texas and gained a deep understanding of the unique products that are grown here,” said McHugh. “Landrace is a dream realized for me, and I have been refining the concept for some time. The menu showcases my commitment to local ingredients and the unique products grown in South Texas and the Hill Country. I’m excited to celebrate the natural flavors and nuances of the seasons in collaboration with Texas’ heritage farmers and growers.”
