About The Company
Texas lifestyle and hospitality company founded by Levi Goode. Now hiring for his first solo restaurant concepts, Credence and Sidebar. Levi Goode is a Houston-based chef and restauranteur, fifth-generation Texan and good-time connoisseur. Through the launch of his personal brands, Levi is bringing Texas together by exploring the tastes, traditions and pastimes that inspire and connect us - whether Texan by birth or aspiration. Levi Goode Brands stands adjacent to the Goode Co. brand - building on a common mission to share and preserve the rich cooking traditions of Texas - but is brought to life specifically through Levi’s refined tastes and adventurous spirit. His inaugural solo project, Credence, brings his history and heritage to the Bunker Hill area of Houston. The menu will focus on Levi’s signature live-fire preparation and feature seasonal, elevated American fare alongside craft cocktails and an expertly curated wine list. Tucked beside Credence is under-the-radar, reservation-only concept, Sidebar, an intimate enclave that’s sure to become a sought-after spot for a spirited evening among friends.Taking cues from the speakeasy era in Texas, the concept offers a fully transportive dining and drinking experience. Food is Levi’s never-ending catalyst for delight and discovery - inspiring folks to come together over a stove, around a table, alongside a fire - testing new ideas and trying new things, turning meals into stories and strangers into friends.
