A returning dinner series is bringing together Michelin-recognized restaurants from across Texas in a unique sustained effort. Hestia, the most formal of Emmer & Rye Hospitality Group’s Austin restaurants, will host three collaborative dinners in its Lone Star Dinner Series this summer: one each with restaurants from Austin, Houston, and newly, Dallas.
This is the second year for the series, which started with all-Austin collaborations, sold out, and later extended to work with March, a restaurant from Houston. Although it is not new for the Michelin-praised crowd to work together, this summer’s efforts expand the series into something much harder to find, an ongoing project to connect the growing class of fine dining honorees across the state.
The three dinners on deck are:
- June 16: Hestia and Tatemó from Houston
- July 21: Hestia and Mamani from Dallas
- August 25: Hestia and InterStellar BBQ from Austin
