About Me

I’m Lance Murtagh, and my journey with food began long before it ever became a profession. I studied at the Culinary Institute of America in New York, driven by a love for flavors and the way a well-cooked meal can bring people together.

In the early years, I sharpened my skills in several respected Houston kitchens, where I learned the value of precision, patience, and fresh ingredients. Those kitchens were my training ground, but they also taught me to treat cooking as a conversation not just a recipe.

In 2006, I opened my first restaurant, Glass Wall, in the Heights. It was my chance to bring seasonal menus and a wine-forward dining experience to a neighborhood I’ve always loved.

That restaurant taught me how to lead with heart, blending coastal influences with a grounded, Texas feel. Surfing has long been a part of my life, and that rhythm working with nature, not against it found its way into my kitchen philosophy too.

By 2010, I co-founded F.E.E.D. TX alongside partners Carl Eaves and Will Davis. Together, we launched several concepts, including BRC Gastropub and the Liberty Kitchen series. My role as culinary director was where I felt most at home crafting seafood-driven menus that felt approachable but always intentional.

The Garden Oaks location was especially close to me. It was more than a space; it was a community. We made mistakes, we learned, and we fed thousands of people with sincerity.

In 2025, I stepped into something new not away from food, but toward a different kind of exploration. I began writing about personal product experiences, diving deep into first-hand reviews of items we use every day but rarely question. It was a natural transition.

Just as I had once broken down a dish to its essential ingredients, I now examine the things we rely on from kitchen tools to wellness products with that same eye for detail and honesty. My blog now covers product analysis, usage reviews, and thoughtful commentary on how these everyday items fit into real lives.
