Leaf & Grain

The Name Contest Top 10 (including the winner!) is live on our story starting now!

We’ll circle back to talk about the dish itself and the chef we collaborated with on it (hint: she’s on the second slide) tomorrow!

We are SO excited to partner with to do a version of our lemon-caper salmon every Wednesday in October at Belong.

Deets and Chef Edward got to spend an afternoon with the Belong team, hanging out and going through the prep for each ingredient. We had an awesome time getting to know everybody, and they’re all schooled up on how to make this dish shine!

Burrata, peaches, prosciutto, arugula, pesto, and honey-balsamic glaze on Leaf & Grain scratch-made ciabatta.
This one’ll only be around for a (literally) hot minute.

For tomato season, we thought it’d be fun to do a fancy BLT with heirloom tomatoes and thick-cut bacon on our made-from-scratch pain de mie bread.

The key to a great BLT is simple. Don’t reinvent the wheel; just use super high-quality ingredients.

A lot of customers have come back up to the service line to say “This is the best BLT I’ve ever had,” so it’s definitely worth trying before it’s gone!

Available at West U and Tanglewood only.

See y’all Saturday! First 50 customers get a raffle prize, from staycay to spa to Astros & Rockets tickets, and a bunch of free stuff from our friends!

As big UH fans, we’re excited to announce our first ever NIL deal with Center, . In addition to being the tallest person on the team (6’11”), Jacob also has the highest vertical! He attributes both to eating a diet rich in kale and other high-quality vegetables 😉

🚨🍂FALL-WINTER SEASONAL MENU🍁🚨
Two popular dishes are back—Massaman Curry and Maize Runner—plus a new Autumn Harvest salad!

This is the curry that Chef helped us dial in, so we want to mention a couple updates: 1. Chef G WON JAMES BEARD 2023 BEST CHEF TEXAS 🎉🍾 and 2. has opened in their new digs at 3401 Harrisburg — you need to go!

Also: We added som tam (green papaya salad) to the curry, which balances out the dish with a pop of freshness.
