With temperatures topping 100 degrees, it might not feel like fall, but Austin’s fall restaurant season is already off to a running start. Several long-anticipated projects preparing to open their doors, and many more new dining options are well underway. Modern Southern Olamaie will finally (finally!) open their doors later this month, and new projects from both the Uchi team and chef duo Rene Ortiz and Laura Sawicki are hot on their heels.
Looking further ahead, cult-inspiring burger chain Shake Shack’s first Texas location will launch by the end of 2014. Read on for the latest updates on what’s shaping up to be a busy, buzzy fall.
