We expect a lot from our restaurants. Too much, really. We open-carry our expectations like loaded guns for the food, the service, the decor and the kind of deference we'd never extend even to our own families. They're not restaurants; they're targets. For our disappointments, for our vitriol, for our single-star outrage. I'm guilty of it. When I heard that Chad Carey's Empty Stomach Group was opening yet another restaurant in San Antonio, I loaded my own expectations.

If nothing else, the River Walk trains you to expect the unexpected. Like I didn't expect to see a uniformed waiter get handcuffed and trundled away by bicycle cops before I even walked down the stairs to the water.

Lattoia Massey is a chef, a mother, an Army veteran, a wife, a business owner. And she’s a culinary superstar, recognized by the Michelin Guide and nominated for a James Beard Award for her San Antonio restaurant The Jerk Shack. But we don’t know Lattoia Massey. We know her by another name: Chef Nicola Blaque. Is it an alias, a nom de guerre, a celebrity flex? No. The name began as a solution to a problem for a young caterer and private chef trying to grow her clientele.

With Valentine's Day breathing down our necks, how hard is it to find a romantic restaurant in San Antonio? Ask Google to nail it down, and some of the results make me worry if Google will ever find love in time for dessert: A hot dog wagon downtown (so literal). Margaritaville on the River Walk (maybe, after a few). A Lombrano Food Hall ghost kitchen (yep, ghosted again).

From Rebelle's lavish launch at the St. Anthony hotel to chef Stefan Bowers unceremonious firing in December, the restaurant's long and winding road takes another turn. https://t.co/2C1xENQyq5
For fans of the @MichelinGuideNA -recommended San Antonio barbecue joint @2m_smokehouse, here's a gift link to my @ExpressNews story on the rebranding of Blu Lacy Smokehouse as Castroville Barbecue Co. (It's an ownership split, but not the kind you think.) https://t.co/jfJc1jtodO
Can’t wait to see how they weave orange construction barrels into the narrative of “1923” as they film on the streets of San Antonio. https://t.co/aGitF9UQrT
