Chef Chris Shepherd is no stranger to the Houston culinary scene. Even before he opened Georgia James in October, he already had a glowing reputation for his contemporary American cuisine. And that’s exactly the type of fare he showcases at Georgia James, with an emphasis on quality steaks and fresh seafood.
Plan a special date night at Georgia James and share an upscale appetizer, such as the shaved Wagyu short rib or the roasted Gulf oysters with bourbon barrel-aged hot sauce butter. You can also start with a classic shrimp cocktail or a seafood tower from the raw bar. Make sure you save enough room to dig into a steak, perhaps the hanger steak. The team wet-ages the steak for 100 days before they grill it over a wood-burning fire. For an even more decadent dish, opt for the long bone rib eye, which dry-ages for 100 days and then cooks to juicy and tender in cast iron.
