About
Opened in March of 2024, this fascinating eatery inside the Ion, housed in what was once a major Sear’s outlet (hence the name “Late August,” which was when the Sears catalog arrived in customers’ mailboxes), nabbed a spot on Esquire’s List of “Best New Restaurants in America.” Chef/Owner Chris Williams, a James Beard Award Nominee for Outstanding Restaurateur in 2022 and 2023, joins forces with Executive Chef Sergio Hidalgo for an inventive fusion of Mexican and West African cuisine. Here, diners find dishes like fried tomatillos with shrimp ceviche, grilled eggplant with spiced plums and fry bread, roasted chicken with buckwheat and pomegranate, and chili relleno with avocado cream. Did we mention Navajo doughnuts or rice pudding brûlèe for dessert? In its three-star review, Texas Monthly hailed the “innovative fare” while the Michelin Guide describes Late August as a “vibrant restaurant…with [two chefs] who celebrate cuisine in their own creative ways.”
