Chef Kyle Barham excelled in creating a fine dining experience that was both creative and beautifully presented.

The Southwest Regional Bailliages met in Austin for their bi-annual Chapitre. Events included a celebration of Texas Independence Day, a caviar tasting, the Young Chefs’ Competition, and the welcoming induction for new members.
