Taking full advantage of this local bounty is rising star Scott Cohen, executive chef at the 4-diamond Las Canarias at Omni La Mansion del Rio, as well as at Pesca on the River at the Watermark Hotel and Spa.

After 15 years in New York City and honors from the James Beard Foundation, Cohen moved to the Texas Hill Country to make the most of the area's untapped bounty for food lovers.
