This week on Snacky Tunes, we head down to Texas to chat with Chef Chris Shepherd whose award-winning restaurant, Underbelly, is helping to shape Houston's dining scene. Chris shares with us stories about his career, his insights into Houston's multi-ethnic culinary history, his love of bourbon and football and provides some sneak peeks into his next ambitious project: One Fifth, a five-year project in which he'll transform one restaurant space into five completely different dining concepts.
