• Sevy's vs Cuba Libre: Creme Brulee Crunchtime

  Alex Flores​Years and years ago, Aurora chef Avner Samuel blurted in the middle of a phone conversation that he had introduced creme brulee to Dallas--and vice versa, I suppose. Let's assume that's the case. Why then, didn't he go that one step further and show local chefs how to caramelize the sugar topping table side, with a branding iron? Makes quite a show, easy enough to do and it is a purely Texan twist.No restaurant (that I know of) goes to this extreme with their version of creme brule
