A top Texas chef with a pink Mohawk, Rishel moved to Houston to renovate 51Fifteen at Saks Fifth Avenue in the Galleria as "chef-driven," reminiscent of Southern European fare that's made with locally sourced ingredients and is based on Rishel's interest in seafood.

But today we're making killer scones.
