Chef Trace has joined forces with James Beard award-nominated Chef Rich Landau and his wife Chef Kate Jacoby of Vedge in Philadelphia to create an innovative menu that is an ode to spring vegetables and the vibrant flavor combinations of the south, including:

Brennan's of Houston, a crown jewel in Creole cooking and Southern hospitality, is celebrating its 47th year of business and looks forward to extending their popular March Veg Out! menu with this exclusive evening.
"At Brennan's of Houston, we have great reverence for our produce and the farms from which it originates, so it seemed a natural fit to collaborate with Chefs Landau and Jacoby who have mastered the art of working with vegetables," says Chef Trace.
Chef Landau adds, "By coaxing intricate flavors out of fruits and vegetables, we hope to inspire even the most carnivorous diners to embrace vegan cuisine. It can be so much more hearty and flavorful than people realize so to be able to work with Chef Trace on this menu in the heart of Texas has really inspired us to push the boundaries."
