At this special event, guests will be able to sample Chef Justin Delgado’s Grilled Gulf Shrimp Escabeche and Elote with miso and shrimp mayo, as well as specialty sips from Desert Door Texas Sotol. Guests must check in when they arrive to get their food started, then head to a table to order drinks.

Chef Delgado is puro Tejano, and Hunter Gatherer Hospitality is the brainchild of this Austin-based culinarian. Chef Justin was born and raised on the border of South Texas, spending most of his time in the kitchen or around the fire. After learning from his family the importance of a great meal and feeding others, he wanted to turn his passion into a career and moved to Austin, Texas in 2008. He began cutting his teeth in French and Mexican cuisine at places such as Justine’s Brasserie and Licha’s Cantina where he resided as Chef de Cuisine for 6 years. Through years of remarkable experience, grit, and determination, Chef Justin is now here to share his own story through his cuisine.

Wild Card is a monthly series, created and hosted by Desert Door. It features some of their favorite chefs from throughout Texas (and beyond) cooking items not found on their regular menus. They ask the chefs, “What do you want to make?” It’s their chance to flex and do whatever they want, no holds barred. And, it’s always a bit of a surprise. Hence, Wild Card!
