Episode 356 - Jason Ryczek of Little's Oyster Bar

Today on the podcast CultureMap Editor (yeah that's right someone got a promotion) Eric Sandler speaks with Jason Ryczek of Little's Oyster Bar. Eric and Jason discuss how Jason's culinary career first began, how his time in San Francisco helped shaped him, what got Jason into caviar, coming to Houston, working with Pappas, developing the menu, keeping the menu dynamic, becoming a big fan of yellowedge grouper, what being named the best restaurant in Houston by the Houston Chronicle did for the restaurant, what are Jason's goals for Little's Oyster Bar, whether we could possibly see more Little's Oyster Bars around Houston or Texas in general, and much more!  Follow Eric on Instagram/Threads @ericsandler.
