Emmanuel Chavez of Tatemó, a Mexican restaurant that opened in 2021 at 4740 Dacoma St. Suite F in the Spring Branch area, was announced Tuesday as Food and Wine's "Best New Chefs" for 2023. Chavez was born in Mexico and moved to Houston at age 10, growing up in a Tex-Mex restaurant where his parents worked and eventually working in the kitchen himself, according to Food & Wine. He later honed his skills and learned about tortilla-making in Seattle before returning to Houston to start his own restaurant business. Chavez was one of 11 chefs from across the country, including two from Texas, to be selected by the magazine.
