Thirteen by James Harden, an upscale restaurant scheduled to open in Midtown in late January, opened its doors for a preview for VIP guests Tuesday night.
The restaurant – which is located at 1911 Bagby, the former home of Mr. Peeples – was in the works long before Harden made it clear he wanted out of Houston and is going forward even after the Rockets traded the NBA superstar to the Brooklyn Nets.
The restaurant is led by chef Tobias Dorzon, who briefly played in the NFL before attending culinary school and finding success with his own catering business and restaurants, including Victory Restaurant & Lounge in Miami.
