Foodie Finds: The Bread Box

March 1, 2017 by Philip Becker

foodie

It’s no secret, we LOVE good food, and there’s s much in this city to enjoy. Join us each week as we highlight a local eatery in search of the best food spots in San Antonio.

Today, for our first entry, we decided to visit The Bread Box on West Bitters Road. The staff at The Bread Box are clearly in sync and on a mission, “Our vision for our restaurant is to provide New American Cuisine that is approachable, delicious and has a great value. At the heart of our menu is bread.”

About The Bread Box

Tina and Lucas aren’t your typical slices of bread from the everyday loaf. They don’t come from a long line of bakers and they didn’t have a need to bake from a young age. What they did have, was a want to give their kids something better than what the bread aisles of any store could provide; fresh bread with local ingredients and real value.

Tina went to work making bread for her kids’ lunches out of her home kitchen, which sparked an interest in Lucas as a chef. From there, Lucas found he has a knack for bread making and started producing them for the restaurant he was currently working for. From there, other kitchens employed Lucas for his bread making skills via word of mouth, making this duo stand apart from most bakeries. They never went restaurant to restaurant looking for clients, their clients always came to them through recommendation.

Lucas has been doing commercial baking since 2011, supplying the commercial bakery needs of some of San Antonio’s finest food trucks to fine dining and everything in between. In December of 2015 he and Tina opened the doors to their own slice of San Antonio cuisine, The Bread Box.

The Experience

Today I joined one of our REALTORS® for lunch to experience what BP’s Pearce Walker claims to be one of the best burgers in San Antonio. Located in The Shops at Artisan’s Alley, you could easily spend an extra hour and a couple hundred dollars shopping the various boutiques that surround the eatery. The quirky entrance through a side door only adds to the ambiance of items such as egg carton ceiling treatments. Staff was attentive and friendly, seating us quickly in the location of our choice, inside or out. The cafe menu, which sports breakfast and lunch options opening at 8am most days, offers many choices including soups, salads, sandwiches, gourmet desserts and of course tons of baked goods.

bread-box-pastry-case

Lunch consisted of The Bread Box Burger, a 1/2lb short rib and brisket combination topped with fontina cheese, bacon jam, and fresh lettuce and tomato on a brioche bun, served with house chips. I also went for the Mexican bottled Coke which Puro San Antonians no is near impossible to resist. Philip, who joined me, enjoyed a special they had for Ash Wednesday, a Tuna Nicoise Salad sandwich, also with house made chips. The burger was very flavorful and juicy, but that bacon jam though! If I had to find something to quarrel with, it was the patty being so big it barely fit the bun (not an actual complaint). Philip enjoyed the Tuna as well, pointing out the flavors marry well together and the capers set the whole thing off. It’s made with olive oil packed Spanish tuna tossed in a lemon basil vinaigrette with capers, Kalamata olives, tomato, pastured eggs, haricot verts, roasted potatoes and 9-1 Farms arugula. While we were too full from lunch to try dessert, I suggest you budget room to try the lemon bars, fresh PIE OF THE DAY or variety of other pastries, also available to go. Knead-less to say, we’ll be back!

Becker Awarded High Honors with Induction into Prestigious Fraternity

March 1, 2017 by Philip Becker

BP Broker, Philip Becker, was inducted into the prestigious Omega Tau Rho fraternity of the National Association of REALTORS®. The award was presented Monday February 13th, 2017 during the Texas REALTORS® Winter Meeting in Austin, Texas.

Induction into the Omega Tau Rho fraternity is granted by state and local associations to members and others who have shown exemplary dedication and service to the REALTOR® organization. Membership in this honorary fraternity is represented by the Medallion of Service which symbolizes the recognition and appreciation accorded inductees for their contributions to the National Association of REALTORS®, its affiliated Institutes, Societies and Councils. At the age of 30, Philip is one of, if not the, youngest member to ever be inducted into Omega Tau Rho.

philip-becker-receives-Omega-Tau-Rho-award

History of the Award

At its May 11, 1950 meeting, the Executive Committee of the National Association of REALTORS® decided to explore the possibility of establishing “a special Association for past officers only, along the lines of a Fraternity.” The founding banquet of Omega Tau Rho was held on Nov. 12, 1950, during the Miami Convention. Two hundred fifty members were accepted into membership at this banquet. There are now approximately 4,000 members.

Membership in this honorary fraternity is represented by the Medallion of Service which symbolizes the recognition and appreciation accorded inductees for their contributions to the National Association of REALTORS®, its affiliated Institutes, Societies and Councils.

Membership in Omega Tau Rho opened in 1972 to REALTORS® of the Year of the State Associations, in 1977 to REALTORS® Emeriti of the National Association, and in 1978 to Executive Officers of local Boards and State Associations with 10 years of service. Individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the real estate profession but who are not eligible under the qualifications just listed may be named honorary members by the Board of Directors of the National Association.

The Omega Tau Rho Medallion of Honor elegantly captures the esteem in which inductees in this honorary fraternity are held by fellow REALTORS®. The medallion is two-inches in diameter and is made of solid brass with an antique gold ox finish in embossed hand relief. Once a medallion is awarded, the recipient is a member of the fraternity for life.

A “Reel” Deal for Lunch in Spring Branch

September 4, 2015 by Philip Becker

the-reel-seafood-house

Growing Spring Branch has new businesses popping up almost constantly. With Wal-Mart set to open its doors as the first anchor in the Singing Hills multi-use development September 23rd, this “small town” isn’t so small anymore. When it comes to grabbing lunch, I recommend a few new spots as well as some tried and true favorites.

 

the-reel-daily-specials-board
This week, on Friday, I stopped by The Reel Seafood House on HWY 46 for the lunch special (one of Jon Becker’s personal favorite spots – click here for directions). The 5oz Flounder which was stuffed with a seafood dressing and topped with crawfish in a white wine cream sauce was the main event. It was accompanied by creamed spinach and homemade jambalaya, for the super low price of $9.95. The Reel’s friendly and attentive staff served cold drinks, fresh bread and butter while waiting for the meal, which came out in a matter of maybe 10 minutes. The flavors were big, the fish fresh and the presentation on point.

the-reel-lunch-special-2
If you haven’t set sail for this awesome seafood restaurant with a light cajun flare, stop by for lunch next week. The Caddell Family, The Reel’s owners, have over 25 years experience in the industry, and thus, have their recipes down to a reliable consistency. They’ve got a great dinner menu as well (may I suggest the Redfish Pontchartrain or the New Orleans Combo). I’m sure you’ll be hooked on The Reel Seafood House. – the Wandering Broker – Philip B.W. Becker
