It will be called Destination H. "At Destination H, we plan to offer patrons a unique variety of crafted cocktails and American fare dishes for every appetite. From supporting local farmers, and growers, to liquor producers who cook up spirits right here in Houston, we want to make it known this is the new staple in Texas, doing all things HOUSTON," said Dr. Ajayi.
