We're in San Antonio Texas heading to the historic entertainment district
called the Pearl located just eight minutes north of the downtown the Pearl
dates back to 1883 and is a top culinary and cultural destination featuring
retail dining and more. We learn about the vivid past of the Pearl through the
cuisine and cocktails let's go check it out we are right outside of the hotel
Emma and we are going to check out this awesome American eatery called Supper.
Supper is part farm-to-table part bistro and the menu pays homage to the
south Texan multicultural flair.
We're at the Hotel Emma in the Pearl Brewery
complex in San Antonio Texas. We are super excited, it's been such a tough decision
but what we settled on were the Brussels sprouts
there's salt and vinegar roasted and then we're also gonna try the lemon fish
crudo with avocado deep ponzu yucca and furikake then we're going to try
something a little lighter a salad it's going to be the gem lettuces with
pickled vegetables and Provincial vinaigrette and then for our large plate
we're going to get is a Bronzino with Zatar green pepper and celery salad
Castelvetrano olives and feta and then I'm going to get the smoked crispy quail with pickled corn relish, gold
potatoes in chili garlic honey
wow my mouth is watering just thinking about i!
now we learn about the folklore of the restaurant through the signature
cocktail the three Emmas
So this drink is called the Three Emmas
and it was named after the hotel owner, Hotel Emma.
Emma ran a brewery
and her husband's name was Otto.
And she was in an automobile accident
and he hired this nurse, who's name was also Emma to take care of her
he began an affair with her and an affair with her friend too - Otto was having an
affair with both nurses named Emma when one day an argument ensued and the tall
blonde Emma shot him dead with a 32 revolver when the police arrived she
said I'm sorry but I had to kill him
the drink itself is one of the most well balanced unique cocktails that I've
tried it's made with sherry botanist Gin, lemon
juice and grapefruit juice for the perfect amount of sour and sweet
So some boutique hotels, they try to avoid scandal.
But this hotel, they embrace it.
I'm trying the lemonfish crudo it's really good
a little bit country little bit rock n roll? It's exquisite so good behind the breading like chicken this is a
bit of a traditional Texas dish in some ways because it has southern and Native
American elements there's almost like a succotash to the base of the dish the
mashed potatoes and then the fried nature of the quail quail being a
traditional prairie bird being a little bit more southern American but it's a
very United States dish very delicious
This is a Oaxacan chocolate toasted marshmallow on a churro.
This is a chocolate honeycomb crumble
