Foodies and Friends - A visit to The Chef's Table and unique African tastes

The Chef's Table (Vintage Park in northwest Houston) offers a culinary journey almost as exciting and definitely as varied as Master Chef Paul Friedman's resume.

Houstonians may remember him from the nationally recognized pizza concept, Paul's Pizza Shops, which started in northwest Houston in 1994, or the South African fusion restaurant Peli-Peli, which closed shortly after the pandemic.

Chef Paul grew up in South Africa and delights in bringing that melting pot of tastes to dishes at The Chef's Table. He also delights in telling stories about the food, where it came from, how it's prepared. Be sure to watch him serve the South African sole.

Join Katie Stone as she tastes some of the unique dishes off of the Out of Africa menu.
