Be honest…Would you share this? 1. No way 2. Maybe one bite 👀

We’d never tell you how to live your life… but skipping dessert? That’s just reckless. 😏Our Vanilla Cheesecake is here to steal the spotlight—graham cracker crust, summer berry compote, lemon candy, and a citrus tuile that crunches just right. 🍓🍋✨Go ahead, finish strong. You deserve a sweet ending.

Thank you! Please join us to celebrate 25 years!

Although born in London, James Beard Award-nominated chef Bruce Auden has made deep impressions on San Antonio’s culinary scene that span from his early days at the helm of Polo’s at the Fairmount to his enduring run at B**a on the Banks — which is widely considered among the premiere fine-dining establishments on the San Antonio River Walk. Named after a centuries-old starter used in artisanal bread-making, Auden’s pioneering New American gem B**a has also functioned as a starter for many of the city’s finest culinary talents. In celebration of a quarter century on the River Walk, the upcoming “25 Years of B**a Benefit” (6:30 p.m Tuesday, April 22) unites an array of B**a alums — including Bliss founder Mark Bliss — for a collaborative fundraiser featuring chef stations, a silent auction, cocktails and dancing. Tickets — $175 per person at b**a.com — directly benefit tomorrow’s culinary talents via training programs at St. Philip’s College and the San Antonio Food Bank.
