Dessert just got a little bit sweeter in Houston as Executive Pastry Chef Amanda Owen brings her talent to the esteemed culinary team at The Houstonian.

HOUSTON, TX, UNITED STATES, August 2, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Houstonian Hotel, Club & Spa welcomes Amanda Owen as the new Executive Pastry Chef. Owen brings with her years of culinary experience in the hospitality industry at notable hotels like the Waldorf Astoria, Omni Hotels & Resorts and MGM Beau Rivage Casino and Resort among others. Owens attended the Culinary Institute of New Orleans and was a pastry instructor at the Notter School of Pastry Arts.

Owen’s experience complements The Houstonian’s distinction of being one of the few hotels in Houston that makes most of its breads, pastries and desserts all in-house.

“Working in a scratch-made kitchen is my happy place. I love getting in there and creating every day,” said Owen. “I also really enjoy a fast-paced kitchen, so I am excited to work at a dynamic hotel like The Houstonian.”

Owen has combined her love of sweetness with her southern pride with her exclusive August dessert, Bananas Foster Cake. The sweet banana cake layered with banana pudding and roasted banana cheesecake topped with caramel whip cream and drizzled with banana foster sauce.

“This dessert pays tribute to my south Alabama grandmother’s banana pudding and multi-layer cakes while combining my many years of culinary experience and my second home of New Orleans,” said Owen.

The Bananas Foster Cake is offered during the month of August during lunch or dinner for $10 at TRIBUTE the hotel’s newly remodeled restaurant, located at 111 North Post Oak Lane in Houston.
