Some places just stand out for their genuine care and fresh flavors, and Katharine & Company is one of Beaumont’s true gems.

 

Founded by Katharine Carmichael in 1997, the restaurant began as a tiny take-out shop before blossoming into a bustling local favorite in the historic Mildred Building.

 

Chef Will Carter crafts daily specials featuring organic greens, house-baked breads, and scratch-made desserts.

 

The menu always highlights seasonal, healthy options and a freshness you can taste.

 

Guests love the welcoming staff, cozy ambiance, and monthly events like First Thursday dinners with live music and a local artist market, plus Second Sunday brunches.

 

Katharine’s personal touch is felt at every level, whether it’s weekday lunch, grab-and-go at K2 Cafe, or full-scale catering.

 

For those looking to support local and eat well, it’s a can’t-miss Beaumont experience.

The Golden Triangle Quilt Guild brings its vibrant "Sewing Peace with Quilts" show to the Beaumont Civic Center this Friday and Saturday, welcoming visitors from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. with a $10 admission.

 

Far from a simple pastime, quilting here is an art form and local tradition that captures Southeast Texas stories in every stitch.

 

Founded in 1983, the guild showcases decades of creativity, featuring handmade quilts ranging from patriotic displays to future family heirlooms.

 

Attendees will not only glimpse works that took hundreds of hours to create, but also explore a marketplace filled with unique crafts by local makers.

 

Even if you’ve never quilted, watching these artists in action is an experience worth every penny—and a great way to support local talent.
