Reps for lauded chef John Tesar have confirmed that they are scouting for a location to bring Knife Burger to Austin. The Dallas restaurateur, who was in town on May 25 for Hot Luck's Night Court event, teased the new location with a May 28 Instagram post. Although that post featured a photo of the upcoming St. Elmo Public Market, reps tell CultureMap that is just one of the potential locations he is considering, adding that he would like to bring his Knife steakhouse concept to Austin as well.

Another brewery has entered Austin’s craft beer olympiad. Marcos Canchola and Brian Hyde, co-owners of dive bars Barfly’s, Violet Crown Social Club, Mugshots, Pour House, and Bender Bar, have teamed up again to open Hitmaker Brewing. The brewery's first release, a hoppy IPA, debuted on May 11. A kolsch and a rye pale ale will debut in the next few weeks in preparation for its taproom opening at 11160 Circle Dr. later in the year.

A new French-inspired pop-up has launched on the patio of Infinite Monkey Theorem at 121 Pickle Rd.

Speaking of rotisserie chicken, Tio Pepe Chicken will bring the Portuguese version to the Linc shopping center in September. The menu features salads, platters, and traditional sides, as well as six varieties of peri-peri sauce made with chilis, herbs, citrus, and onion.

Johnson’s Backyard Garden is having some tater trouble, specifically over 10,000 pounds of potatoes they are unable to harvest due to a labor shortage.
