Cheerful neon, gleaming subway tile, quirky fixtures, found objects – Local is a designer’s hedonist haven, a modern-industrial deli + diner with a retro twist, masterminded by the talent behind Houston’s Found for the Home interiors. And there’s more to savor than the scenery. As the gourmet bistro’s name suggests (blatantly tells you, really), the food is all local – Texas area farmers, fishermen, bread makers, egg producers, meat purveyors and specialty food artisans stock the fresh flavors behind the perfectly crafted sandwiches and crisp, colorful sides. Tap off the whole experience with a draught beer or an ice-cold cola. Our to-go staple: the farmhouse salad.
