More About

Chefs like to pay tribute to people by naming dishes after them. And as a general rule, the better the dish, the more important the person. Arturo Boada, the chef and owner of Arturo's (1180-1 Uptown Park Blvd., 713-621-1180), named Sonia's Ravioli Stuffed with Chicken and Mushrooms and Topped with Crabmeat ($19.75) after his own mother. And what a dish it is. Four three-inch, handmade ravioli are stuffed with a chicken, mushroom and pesto filling, then topped with a white wine cream sauce and as much lump crabmeat as will fit on the plate. It's so good, you'll beg for more.
