Kemah restaurant Th Prsrv explores centuries of Indigenous cuisine
Briefly

"What we discovered was, if you went back 500 years, you ended up with very similar techniques for cooking, similar ingredients, similar customs," said Chef David Skinner. "It made a lot of sense to tell the story using a historical menu where we could really cover how ingredients moved from one continent to the other, and how it influenced different cuisines."
"It's never a fusion, we give an equal respect to both cultures," said Graham Painter, Wine Director at Th Prsrv. "So this archaeological dig of each chef's historical background is also through this microlens, telling a really beautiful macropicture about a food that's been forgotten, that is the most consequential agriculture the world has ever seen, being Native American."
"We hope they come away with an appreciation for the ingredients, where they've come from, an appreciation for how these ingredients changed the cuisine of the world," said Chef Skinner.
