San Antonio restaurants Biga on the Banks and Nineteen Hyaku racked up glowing reviews from Forbes in its second installment of a two-part series about the Alamo City’s culinary chops. The Jan. 10 piece, a follow-up to the December article “San Antonio Is Proving Itself One Of Texas’ Most Progressive Cities In Growth, Culture And Terrific Food,” chronicles Forbes writer John Mariani’s recent visit to the Alamo City — his first in 15 years. In part two, Mariani gushes over Biga’s London-born chef-owner Bruce Auden, calling him “one of the pioneers of New Texas Cuisine back on the 1980s,” noting Auden’s deft hand with local ingredients and timeless, traditional technique.
