We have great view of downtown from our balcony...
‘Feast’ is the new restaurant run by Richard Knight and James and Meagan Silk. ‘Feast’ is about bringing a traditional and relaxed European approach to dining to Downtown Houston. We offer simple, honest, rustic cuisine in a relaxed, homey environment. Our emphasis is on quality, local, seasonal ingredients prepared with passion and imagination.
Our desire is to summon the spirit of a family meal shared around the kitchen table of an old-fashioned European family farm...
Here we are.
And here is our restaurant....
A little bit about us...
Richard and James grew up together on the south coast of England and have been eating, drinking and cooking together for their entire lives. Meagan, born and raised in Massachusetts and Arizona, joined the group and the 'Feast Family' was born. Their work together has repeatedly, and rightly, been described as a 'labor of love' and it is their unique style of hearty, passionate, European-style eating that they now bring into downtown Houston.
Richard has more than 20 years experience as a chef. Whilst in London he worked in, amongst others, Green’s and The Lindsay House, Michelin starred, high profile, establishments, before becoming Head Chef of a very successful restaurant in the world-famous artist community at St. Ives in Cornwall.
He has lived in the US for 13 years, first in California, working as a private chef and caterer in Laguna Hills, before moving to Texas in 1998. Prior to opening ‘Taverna’with James and Meagan in Conroe, he was the Executive Head Chef at the Chevron Texaco Building in downtown Houston.
James has also worked in all aspects of the restaurant business for two decades. Amongst much other experience in London, he ran Charles Fontaine’s renowned Quality Chop House and Sam and Sam Clark’s award winning Moro restaurant.
Most tellingly, he worked extensively at Fergus Henderson's St. John Restaurant, in central London’s Clerkenwell district, which was recently, again, named in the top twenty best restaurants in the world by Restaurant Magazine and, famously, is Anthony Bourdain’s ‘favorite restaurant in the world’. Here, following in his family’s tradition, he also trained as a butcher and a chef.
Meagan attended Northern Arizona University's school of Hotel and Restaurant Management. She brings her extensive experience in the world of catering and her own passion for food and drink. She manages the restaurant and is fundamental to creating the relaxed, warm, family style of service.
