The Historic and Design Review Commission (HDRC) on Wednesday approved conceptual design for changes to a 19th-century home in the Hemisfair complex that restauranteur Kristina Zhao is transforming into her latest culinary venture. Zhao — who also owns San Antonio’s Sichuan House and Dashi Sichuan Kitchen + Bar — plans to open an eatery called Kusch Faire in the historic Kusch House, according to HDRC officials. Design approval was a necessary step to begin construction on the project, which she hopes to launch in summer 2024.
