Eatsie Boys: Houston's Seriously Good Street Food
Chef Matt Marcus is a CIA-trained chef with time put in at Heston Blumenthal's three-Michelin-starred restaurant in Britain and at Sonoma's Cyrus. But the menu served on the truck he runs with founders and friends Ryan Soroka and Alex Vassilakidis, includes dishes with names like "Pork Snuggies" (pork belly bao), "Sabotage" (a five-hour roasted pork sandwich), and "Frank the Pretzel" (a homemade chicken poblano sausage with sautéed onions and whole-grain chardonnay mustard on a pretzel bun. He may not take himself too seriously, but Houston's food lovers have, appreciating the Eatsie Boys enough to have made their café launch one of the most anticipated openings of the fall.
