  • Alex Henry’s Journey to a James Beard Nomination
    Apr 7 2026

    Mexican cuisine is having a moment in St. Louis right now, and chef Alex Henry is a major part of that movement. Since opening his City Foundry food stall, Sureste, in 2021 and following up with his outstanding sit-down restaurant, El Molino del Sureste, two years later, Henry has been setting the bar for regional Mexican cuisine. A native of the Yucatán city Mérida, Henry celebrates the region’s cuisine at El Molino del Sureste with thrilling results—and earned himself a James Beard Awards semifinalist nomination for Best Chef: Midwest in the process. He shares his passion for Yucatecan cuisine with George and Cheryl, as well as his take on why St. Louis diners are so eager to experience traditional Mexican dishes.
