Chip & Joanna Gaines' New Restaurant Just Opened.
Menu Features Chip's Favorites!
Fans of the well-known Gaines couple will be happy to hear that there has been progress
on the restaurant front.
Most avid viewers will recall that the HGTV stars bought a cafe with character and history
and were in the process of renovating and resetting it.
Rumors first hinted at the opening date being some time in 2017, but life happens.
Fortunately, the restaurant — which has been dubbed "Magnolia Table" — is open
as of Monday.
It's not accepting reservations, but walk-ins are encouraged and welcomed.
The Elite Café was started way back in 1919, and has been a staple of Waco culture since.
Both local Texans and stars such as Elvis heard of its renown and have visited the landmark.
Chip and Joanna Gaines themselves frequented the local spot, and were heartbroken when
it finally decided to shut its doors and accept that it'd had a very good run.
So they did that thing they do and snapped it up.
It sounds like Chip was the one who leapt at the opportunity, but Joanna good-naturedly
supported him.
"I've always been a breakfast connoisseur," Chip told Southern Living.
"I always do a heavy, bigger breakfast, but Jo is the exact opposite.
She was kind enough to come with me on this one, and we are going to do up a breakfast
joint here in town."
And brunch lovers everywhere will be very happy to hear that its focus is to serve breakfast
and lunch.
Hours are from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and the eatery is closed on Sundays.
There are plenty of options for everyone, whether you are kindred spirits with Chip
and want heavy and sweet with all the fixings or prefer Joanna's lighter fare.
The wide array of offerings dish up everything from time-honored bacon and eggs to delicacies
such as "Lemon Lavender Donut Holes."
Sweet or savory, breakfast or lunch, they've got you covered.
Warmth and personal touch are at every turn.
The Magnolia Table's mantra is "Where everyone has a seat at the table," and many
ingredients are locally sourced (select produce is even grown by Joanna herself!).
The reviews have been nothing but ecstatic so far, with people seriously enjoying both
the famous Magnolia style and the food itself.
But apparently not everyone applauded the Gaines' efforts to launch themselves into
this new project.
Getting into the restaurant business can be daunting and there are horror stories by the
hundreds.
Chip admitted that though people have been supportive recently, when the cafe first began
to take shape, that wasn't always the case.
"Now, everybody that comes in tells me how smart I was to have bought this property,"
he said.
"Six months ago, I wasn't getting as many encouragements.
But the restaurant has some serious history that we're going to tap into."
But these two know a little something about recasting charming locales with a modern,
homey touch, and if this endeavor is anything like their past projects, it will take off.
What can't this power couple do?
Chip's enthusiasm and childlike energy tempered by Joanna's creative genius and easy grace
generally result in awe-inspiring creations — and this case is no different.

What is the best Japanese restaurant in Bangkok? Momotarou Ramen! - Duration: 6:10.
Welcome to the twenty-fifth video of Bangkok Unmasked!
The YouTube channel that helps you get the most out of your visit to Bangkok city!
If you're new here, please consider subscribing!
In this video I'm going to look at an emotive subject to Bangkok-foodies; the best Japanese
restaurant in Bangkok.
Let's get started!
After living in Bangkok for 18 years, there's one thing that I can confidently say about
the restaurant scene.
The Thai love Japanese food.
It's not a push to say that it's their favorite food after their own national cuisine.
No matter what type of Japanese food you like, it's well catered for.
Whether it's sushi, sashimi, ramen, udon, shabu-shabu or tonkatsu.
In a good number of restaurants you'd be hard-pushed to find better execution of certain dishes
in Japan.
The other thing that fans of all things Japan will like is the set-up and atmosphere of
the top-tier Japanese restaurants in Bangkok.
Also, if you take a stroll down certain sections of Sukhumvit Road or Silom you can be fooled
into thinking you've been teleported to Tokyo!
So which is the best Japanese restaurant in Bangkok?
The following restaurants are certainly all contenders.
Number 1
Goji Kitchen + Bar [Which is in the Bangkok Marriott Marquis Queen's Park].
Number 2
Nami Teppanyaki Steakhouse [which is in the JW Marriott]. Number 3
Tsu Japanese Restaurant [also at the JW Marriott]. Number 4
Benihana [At the AVANI Atrium Bangkok]. and Number 5
Above Eleven [which is at Fraser Suites, Sukhumvit soi 11].
In my opinion, the best Japanese restaurant in Bangkok is located in what can be labeled
Bangkok's 'little Japan'.
Soi Thaniya.
The name of the restaurant is Momotarou.
A Thai friend introduced me to Momotarou quite a few years back.
Since I often go to Silom for Traditional Thai massage, this is one of my top stop-off
places if I want something to eat after the massage.
The easiest way to get Momotarou is via the BTS.
Get off at Sala Daeng BTS station and then walk down soi Thaniya going towards Surawong
Road.
Momotarou is on the right-hand side of the soi about 25 meters from where soi Thaniya
meets Surawong road.
There's a big red sign above the restaurant, so you can't miss it.
The full address is; 9/19-21 Soi Thaniya, Surawong Rd., Bangrak, Bangkok, 10500.
Their phone number is: 02-235-0108.
Momotarou's hours of business are 11 AM through to midnight.
One important note: The location is not family-friendly after dark.
The reason why is that many of the girls who work at the hostess bars on soi Thaniya are
sitting outside trying to entice Japanese men into their clubs.
It's not overly raucous, but young children may start asking a lot of questions that parents
would rather not answer.
The food at Momotarou definitely makes the trip worthwhile!
The ramen is spectacular.
Fresh ingredients, generous portions, and great prices.
The customer service is also excellent.
Tip: Try the Chashumen i.e. chashu ramen, or Miso Ramen.
For those not familiar with Ramen, Miso ramen soup is flavored with soybean paste [or miso].
This results in a thick, brown soup with a rich, complex flavor.
The style originated in Hokkaido where the long cold winters spurred the need for a heartier
type of ramen soup, but it has spread to the point where it can be found pretty much anywhere
in Japan. And most places outside of Japan that serve ramen.
Chasu is a popular Ramen topping.
It's fatty slices of roasted or braised pork.
Chashu is a very common topping, and standard bowls of ramen usually come with one or two
slices of it.
Most ramen-ya also serve Chashumen [chashu ramen] which is a ramen dish with additional
pieces of chashu.
I'm a huge fan of Japanese curry and have eaten it at many restaurants throughout Bangkok.
It's a difficult one, but I think that Momotarou's katsu curry rice is probably the best.
A silky curry sauce is slathered all over perfectly cooked rice.
The dish is packed with enough calories and carbs to get you through the afternoon or
the evening!
This is what it looks like.
Trust me, it tastes as good as it looks! And if you want to set yourself up for a night out, it's a good way to start.
As an aside, I was quite surprised to learn that Japanese eat curry.
My first encounter with the dish was at a Japanese restaurant in Bangkok 18 years ago.
From what I have read, British traders introduced curry powder to Japan at the start of the
Meiji Era [which is 1867 through to 1912].
Local cooks were apparently initially put off by the exotic flavors but, impressed with
how nicely curry could be paired with white rice.
They adapted the recipe with new special spice blends and the addition of familiar meats and vegetables.
If you're looking for great Japanese restaurant in Bangkok, Momotarou should definitely be
on your list.
I really do think that it could well be the best Japanese restaurant in Bangkok!
One thing you'll notice when you go is that most of the customers are Japanese.
There are a few Thai, especially at lunchtimes on weekdays.
Westerners do not seem to frequent Momotarou.
This is odd given the restaurant's proximity to Silom/Patpong.
If you can, do check it out.
Anyway...That's it for this video.
Expect a new video shortly.
It should be posted in about a week, or so.
For all you techies out there, this video was shot on a Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus and edited
