"buy art from living artists because the dead ones don't need the money." the appreciation and love that we have for africa is so true. this chair is from johannesburg, south africa. we bought it from our friends zelane and ellaze. right now, the hospitality industry just kind of needs hope, and we feel like we've accomplished something so great and maybe provided that. opening during pandemic is quite interesting,
1:28 am
but we follow every state and local regulation to a t. mask mandate, 6-feet social distancing, sanitizer stations all over the resort, wipes at high-touch points. we also created a department called the wellness concierge department. their job is just to kind of answer questions, keep everybody separate, keep them feeling comfortable in this space. it's been five years of our life creating this, and we're so glad that we could do it and open it up to the public. everything at the kalahari in round rock is bigger, is better. as our brand has evolved over the last couple of years, you'll see that this one is definitely the shiny new penny. we have something for everybody. we say from two to 92. i don't think you can do kalahari, texas in one or two days. you got to stay a while.

i am from monterrey, nuevo león, and my family also comes from san luis potosi, what is probably the northern-ish part of mexico. we were part of the 1986 immigration reform, so we were able to have a citizenship path and the ability to be able to work, which really facilitated a lot of my more adult years. and then ultimately, when i was 18, i took my citizenship test and i passed with flying colors. so i first started bartending in college, and i started bartending because i'd maxed out my credit card. and it was a very small amount. it was like 300 bucks, but, you know, new student, first credit card, and i was like, "i need a job." so i ended up bartending in a place where a friend of mine was bartending. and it was very much like, "come, work. we need help." and it was like, okay, great. i always thought that was the coolest job that i could have ever had.
1:33 am
and i still think it's the coolest job to ever have. what we're going to make is a classic mint julep. this is our julep cup. the gulab was the very premise of the julep, and the julep was the gulab, was a vessel for medicine. and it was, and maybe still is, sugar, mint, a distilled spirit, which was then medicine, because remember, medicine wasn't really, like, in pill form quite at the moment. it was quite bitter, and then dilution or water was added to it to be able to make it palatable. so there was this concoction happening that later, within time, became a recreational drink, and there's so much history there. the julep became popularized in the south of the united states and kentucky because there was quite an abundance of whiskey. and there was this lavish cocktail that had chipped ice and it was in this cup, in this really, like, metal crafted cup. and what that did to that cocktail was that it popularized it in this region. although the cocktail itself belongs to
1:34 am
so many different regions and histories of how people administered medicine this way. the premise for naming julep julep was that it was a regional cocktail bar. so the ingredients that we draw from, the people that give us creativity, the ideals, are in a southern region. so the bar itself is called julep for that reason. cheers. julep opened in late, hot, summer, july of 2014. it came after two years of it being in construction, so it was very well received to be opened by yours truly and excited that the doors were finally open for people to come in and enjoy it. the goal was to have a place where we could share creatives and share talents and have seasonal cocktail menus. so for the summer, there's a craving, definitely, for things that are more refreshing and sometimes fruit-forward. and in the winter, we'll see that there's more desire
1:35 am
for more savory and cream-like drinks and hot drinks. we follow the drinking trend. that's what our ambience is telling us. very smooth drink. it's got gin, cucumber, mint and lime in it, and really good. all drinks here are really good. the winner is julep. [women screaming] this is houston's first national award and also the first outstanding bar program award. so i remember getting julep called out and apparently if i win something, i will grab my clutch and throw it on the ground, because that's what i did. so i, like, get up. [laughs] a lot of screaming and i threw my clutch down on the ground, and then i just turned around and everyone who i was there with was behind me. a lot of emotion, a lot of a lot of crying. the pride of having of representing houston
1:36 am
on that stage is really special. one of the beautiful things about being an immigrant in a city like houston is that i am able to process so many things and able to see so many different cultures, and that's a huge part of my identity. it's the welcoming of the city for immigrants like me that i wanted to acknowledge. and it wasn't the centering of myself, but the centering of a city that welcomes people like me to do things like that. ♪♪ narrator: what's your go-to spot? tell us on social media.
