One Fifth Transforms Again: Southern Comfort Debuts Next Week

One Fifth Transforms Again: Southern Comfort Debuts Next Week

Hush Puppies

There's been a slight detour in Chris Shepherd's deliciously groundbreaking One Fifth journey: One Fifth Southern Comfort, which makes its debut on Dec. 8, is Shepherd's prescription for what Houston needs during this challenging holiday season.

For the month of December, the One Fifth team is cooking up comfort-food classics that are reminiscent of the holidays. "I want the food on this menu to remind our guests of being with their families at a time when that may not be possible," says chef de cuisine Matt Staph. Expect plates like boudin with house pickles and mustard, and, per Shepherd's personal request, crab-stuffed jalapenos. The team has drawn inspo from former One Fifth concepts, as in housemade pasta from One Fifth Romance Language, and flavors and experiences from One Fifth Gulf Coast. Speaking of: One Fifth Gulf Coast's Galatoire's-inspired brunch returns on Christmas Eve (more details to come).

The cocktail list will include bar director Westin Galleymore's takes on Juleps and milk punches — and a housemade version of Southern Comfort liqueur.

"We love One Fifth Mediterranean," says Shepherd, "but Southern food feels right for right now. The beauty of One Fifth is that it's a concept based on change, so it gives us the freedom to cook and serve the food that fits the moment."

With New Concept Album, Jacob Hilton Processes Mental-Health Struggles

Dakota Garrett

Jacob Hilton, a.k.a. Travid Halton, at home in his kitchen, where he enjoys cooking as a form of therapy.

PINK FLOYD'S THE Wall. Sinatra’s In the Wee Small Hours. Beyonce’s Lemonade. Three divergent examples of the album as a cathartic, psychological, conceptual work, meant to be experienced in a single sitting. Houston singer-songwriter Jacob Hilton, 37, who records as Travid Halton, a portmanteau of his mother and father’s names, might balk at being mentioned in such company. (This is a thoroughly unpretentious man, who describes himself as an “archaeologist turned singer-songwriter.”)

Leadership in Action: ‘Family, Community and Spiritual Connection’ Drives Success for Henry Richardson

Al Torres

How did you get to where you are today? The present moment is a combined history of my family, my time as an athlete, my passion for learning, and my desire to see the world be better. I grew up as a successful springboard and platform diver, however, an injury caused me to seek alternative treatments to heal my body. In that process, I discovered the power of yoga, exercise, meditation, mindset, and nutrition. This holistic approach eventually led me to open a Pilates and cycling studio called DEFINE body & mind. I opened studios around the nation, and after selling most of my business between 2017-2019, I was ready to explore how I could make an even greater impact on the wellbeing of our community. In 2023, I started actively working on a brand new multi-family/apartment concept called, Define Living. The idea focused on offering health and wellness services within a beautiful apartment setting to increase the wellbeing of our residents. Having a strong sense of community is the number one factor in living a happy life, so why not build a community where daily fitness, cooking classes, and social connection are the norm? We opened Define Living in March of 2024, and we couldn’t be happier with how things are being received. We are already looking at building more concepts like this in the Houston area and beyond.
