Meet Eater Young Guns Winner Felipe Riccio of Camerata in Houston. At the moment, up-and-coming chef Riccio is clocking more hours behind a bar than a stove. His place of residence is Camerata, Houston's insta-hit wine bar adjacent to Paulie's that's getting major street cred for its medley of esoteric, boutique wines and cadre of well educated wine pourers.

But Riccio is a food guy. He started cooking professionally as a junior in high school, inspired by his Mexican-Italian roots. Having already worked in some of Houston's hottest kitchens like Reef and The Pass and Provisions, Felipe has most recently launched a wildly popular pop-up dinner series called Mangiamaccheroni. Riccio's multi-course meals, which sell out almost immediately, are rooted in seasonal Italian cuisine and incorporate many foraged ingredients.
