and Chef Eddie Djilali. Hospitality is a word used
frequently and it’s something everyone at Katz 21
takes very seriously. They not only treat you like a
valued patron but beloved family as well. Your concerns and needs are theirs as well and isn’t that what
the definition of hospitality is all about? Friendly
and generous reception and entertainment of guests
is their goal; for you to leave happy, satisfied and returning often is what it’s all about.
Being passionate and loving what they do is what
sets Katz 21 above and apart from most other
restaurants. The newest member of the team is no
exception. A passion for cooking came to Chef
Eddie from his father’s mother. The hot bread she
would bake, served with warm olive oil and roasted red bell peppers from the night before was a favorite; at 10 years old he learned from her how to
make bread. By age 13 he announced to his parents
he wanted to be a chef. His father, a military man
and later an ambassador, was shocked. Not knowing
what to think of this announcement by his son, he
had him meet with psychiatrists and psychologists.
The professionals realized Eddie’s undying passion
and encouraged his father to accept his son’s gift. He
did and gave his blessings. His parents couldn’t be
prouder of what he has accomplished throughout
his career. Thank you again Theo for making that
drive to San Antonio. The addition of Chef Eddie to
the Katz 21 team was pure genius!
The definition of Katz 21: “Fine dining in elegant
surroundings, food fit for royalty, fine wine, exceptional service, a committed staff, a world-renowned
chef and an understanding of the true meaning of
hospitality.” Come by and experience for yourself
what culinary wonders Chef Eddie is creating in the
kitchen and experience true culinary passion. You
too will be eating and being pampered like a royal "because you deserve it"!
