OPENINGS: Chef Chris Shepherd’s Underbelly Hospitality announces two new principles

Equally dining establishments, which function from the same kitchen area with two distinct dining rooms, are located at 250 Assay St. at industrial progress Redemption Square at Generation Park around Lake Houston.

“We’re excited to open up our doors officially and welcome the neighborhood to Bocca + Lupo,” Turner mentioned in the release. “Both concepts spend homage to Italian American favorites, and I’m thrilled to bring amazing dishes and two special culinary encounters to Redemption Sq..”

Bocca features seasonal chef-pushed plates of Italian fare with an American slant. The kitchen offers dishes these types of as osso bucco and linguini with clams, while the bar doles out a curated range of Italian wine.

Lupo is Turner’s just take on an American pizzeria, serving New York-design pies that are created-to-order in a wooden-fired oven.
 
Expect to see additional principles from Turner’s cafe group.

“These two concepts are just the commence of the wonderful culinary and hospitality ecosystem Gastropub Productions is making,” he said in the release.

Bernie’s Burger Bus permanently shut in May perhaps thanks to financial complications stemming from the coronavirus pandemic and the company’s rapid expansion.
