Bille's Mexican-inspired cooking draws from so many different cultures. It's just one of the many reasons to love Houston's food scene.

One of my favorite Belly of the Beast pop-ups was at Tenfold on a misty, overcast day in April 2023. Brought my good friend @deannating.bsky.social so we could order one of everything.

The @houstonchronicle.com was the first to write about Belly of the Beast (re)opening in Spring back in fall 2023. I had been following Bille at pop-ups across town and loved his cooking. It's great to see him win Best Chef Texas. Here's that opening story: www.houstonchronicle.com/food-culture...

Thank you! I haven't eaten at Vietnamese restaurants in Bryan-College Station, but I did try the food from Nam Cafe, a College Station restaurant, at the Viet Cultural Fest here in Houston last fall. The quail eggs with tamarind sauce were fire!
