The MesAlegre Chefs Table will be taking a winter break.  We will be posting the spring calendar soon.  We appreciate your continued support of MesAlegre and look forward to serving you in the spring!

Combining the talents of Chef Johnny Hernandez with our local farming community, the Pearl Farmer's Market will be the backdrop for the country’s hottest food trends: local food movement. 

Come savor MesAlegre -- watch as chefs prepare lunch using the season’s freshest ingredients from local Central Texas vendor & growers -- and when your produce shopping is complete, sit down and enjoy a unique "al fresco" family style dining experience. 

Johnny Hernandez, Celebrated Chef and Spokesperson for the National Pork Board opened the doors to True Flavors Culinary Planners in 1994. A native of San Antonio, Chef Hernandez has developed a distinctive culinary style that pays homage to his hometown yet is reflective of the diversity of his travels around the world. As a member of both the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and the Greater Chamber of Commerce, Chef Hernandez has maintained a connection with the local business community even as his business ventures grow to a national level.
