Hope you’re hungry, because Austin’s food scene is worth its salt.
The Texas Restaurant Awards recognized three Austin-area food industry favorites earlier this month.
The awards are put on by the Texas Restaurant Association, which represents the Lone Star State’s ~56,000 restaurants and $106.8-billion foodservice industry.
Here are the lauded locals:
Gloria Reyna, co-owner of Matt’s El Rancho | Restaurateur of the Year | Reyna’s leadership and entrepreneurial spirit led to this iconic Mexican restaurant serving 630,000+ meals in a year.
Nancy & Dan Garrison, founders of Garrison Brothers Distillery | Carmelo Mauro Spirit of Generosity Award | Awarded for outstanding philanthropy and ethics in the industry, this distillery was the first in Texas.
Dave & Lindsay Plante, owners of Blue Bonnet Cafe | Deep in the Heart Award | This beloved Marble Falls cafe was awarded for excellence outside of Texas’ major metros.
