Houston Chronicle article

quote:

One of 2017's most anticipated new restaurants is nearly ready for its close up: Underbelly chef-owner Chris Shepherd's One Fifth opens for dinner service Thursday in the 1920s church on Lower Westheimer that most recently housed Mark's American Cuisine. Besides the big names involved -- Shepherd, a James Beard Award winner; Kevin Floyd of Hay Merchant and other well-regarded bar/restaurant projects; and investor Whitney Mercilus, the Houston Texans linebacker -- foodie buzz about the place stems from its unusual concept.

One Fifth, per its name, will only be open for five years. Each year it will close for the month of August and reopen as a different concept. Its first iteration is a steakhouse; subsequent themes will be "Romance Languages" (the food and wines of Spain, France and Italy) and seafood. Each concept will be open Sept. 1 through July 31; decor, menus, wine lists and even staff uniforms will change annually.



Wet aged 36-ounce 44 Farms Angus Porterhouse steak





One Fifth sides include, clockwise from top left: bacon sausage creamed greens; broccoli rice casserole; twice baked potatoes; sweet potato and cheddar gratin; cauliflower & goat cheese; Lamburger helper. Center: pot roast braised carrots.

With the Super Bowl going on, this place is going to be crazy the next two weeks. Can't wait to try it once some of the initial craziness dies down. Though I'm sure it'll still be crazy.

Love this concept and hope it crushes, only question is why they have decided to only be open 5 years?

Necropost bump, but I ate here tonight, and I thought it was phenemonal.

Got the hanger steak and bacon sausage smothered greens. The bread and the seasoned tallow was awesome. Really didn't even realize the tallow wasn't just a decorative candle.
