(NEXSTAR) — Excitement is brewing in the culinary world as the James Beard Foundation reveals its finalists for the 33rd Annual James Beard Restaurant and Chef Awards.
This prestigious recognition highlights exceptional talent and achievement in the food industry.
Among this year’s nominees for the coveted title of “Most Outstanding Restaurant” are two standout Texas eateries: Convenience West in Marfa and Mixtli in San Antonio.
Convenience West, known for its Texas barbecue, has been serving up mouthwatering dishes since 2017.
According to the source, this unique spot operates only on Fridays and Saturdays from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. — or until they sell out.
For those who can’t make it in person, Convenience West offers nationwide shipping of their sauces, merchandise, and even whole briskets.
On the other hand, Mixtli, established in 2013, offers a unique dining experience with a menu that changes every 45 days. Describing their menu as a cloud that travels, Mixtli provides a tour of Mexican gastronomy.
Dining here requires purchasing a ticket in advance, costing around $165 per person. While they do allow walk-ins in their bar area, the full menu is only available in the dining room.
