DAM PUBLISHER’S NOTE
DOWNTOWN AUSTIN MAGAZINE – March & April 2013 Downtown Austin in its size may seem modest, but once you start exploring the alleys, back lots, and trails, you start to realize just how exceptionally vibrant of a community it is. Take, for example, the local BMX scene. Right in the heart of the city’s urban core, we have two parks that attract, among others, a thriving cast of bicyiclists that use the spaces for freestyling, jumping, and all sorts of amazing physical creativity. That community has evolved over the years, and today, Austin is widely considered one of the top 5 BMX hubs in the world. In fact, cyclists from as far away as Europe and Asia can be found here on months long sabaticals taking advantage of our amazing climate, built-for-BMX geography, and that welcoming community that I mentioned earlier. Within that world, Austinite Aaron Ross has established himself as one of the world’s best BMX riders. His success on two wheels has translated into a brand that now includes clothing, equipment, and bicycle endorsements. For this issue, we brought him onboard for our fashion shoot, and if the pictures we took are any indication, he may be adding modeling to that portfolio as well. There’s also a profile of Aaron following the fashion editorial to give you a glimpse into the life of this cycling phenom. Other suprises downtown? Well, we’ll get you started in this issue with a relatively new band (Good Field), a matchmaker with a new twist (Tammy Shaklee), restaurants exploring the exciting contours and flavors of vegetables, and much more. What I encourage you to do is to go out and explore these stories for yourself and uncover surprises of your own. Just be sure to let us know what you find. Enjoy! Zarghun Dean Publisher & Editor

DAM DOWNTOWN MUSIC
GOOD FIELD
– Doing indie-rock right
In the mix of a rich local music scene, Good Field is standing out with an impressive debut album. Written by Adam Schragin Photography by Jake Herrle
For a second let’s remember – with just a minimum of nostalgic glaze – a somewhat different time in a very different city. Independent music and journalism in Austin during 2006 was then firmly tuned to neo-psychedelia, folk, and the emergence of a fine indie-rock/pop scene exemplified, in part, by a group of bands that made up something called the “Tonewheel Collective,” a healthy collaborative jam that took place on Thursdays at Beerland. Less fly-by-night projects attended to by the members of Tonewheel included Sound Team, Voxtrot, Peel, Peter and The Wolf, and Brazos, and today each of these projects has either moved, dissolved, or permuted into something else. From Las Vegas, where he is performing on Valentine’s Day night with another band called Gentle Wolves, Good Field principal songwriter guitarist Paul Price speaks to me on the phone with a restraint and calmness that implies having done either very few interviews or too many. “I felt like it was definitely there,” he says of the class of 2006. “This indie pop scene.” But now, “There’s so much music and it’s so accessible, that people are listening to everything.” Good Field exists in something of a vacuum – their music harkens back to a heyday of indie rock, while the venues that used to house such music have to some extent morphed, moved, or closed. Beerland remains, but we’ve yet to see a reunion of Tonewheel heavies on its stage. Price obtained a BA in music at Texas State with an emphasis in classical guitar, and in 2005 he moved to Austin and joined up with Martin Crane in the band Brazos. What’s a little surprising is that some of the songs on Good
Field’s self-titled debut began gestating around that time – tracks “A Hill Away” and Let Me Go” are about eight years old – and it was only when Brazos ceased to be a band that Price began to push Good Field into the forefront. “I wasn’t really busy with any band. I wanted to move on to the next thing,” he says by way of explanation.
reverb-laden verses of “When You Walk,” the album has a sonic familiarity that is less along the straight lines of 2000-ish indie pop as it is an even longer continuum of simplistic, careful and attractive rock music. When I press Price regarding a benchmark for Good Field, his surprising answer is Wilco’s 2004 album A Ghost Is Born, the follow-up to 2002’s game changer Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. While Foxtrot was the album that defined part of the decade, Ghost was smaller in stature and somewhat relegated to “sequel” status. But it’s a powerful document, and no less an affecting listen now than in 2004, as Price knows. As for himself, Price wanted to make something that would be “...in ten years, something that I’d want to listen to. That’s what I was going for,” he adds modestly, “but whether or not it happens...” Price has been patient with his music, and the songs on Good Field register a kind of pointperfect current of craft and shine, strong enough to survive the slow birth of the songs from first drafts to the final product. Good Field is modesty in the face of flash, and a document that doesn’t need a decade to appreciate before you may take in all it has to offer.
Good Field exists in something of a vacuum – their music harkens back to a heyday of indie rock, while the venues that used to house such music have to some extent morphed, moved, or closed.

To flesh out his own band, Price drafted drummer Esteban Cruz (“He hasn’t been playing drums for very long at all but just has great style”), fellow Texas State music school alum Michael McLeod on bass, and film composer Kyle Robertson on keys. With Robertson’s contributions especially the band’s sound tends toward the lush, but a tight fourpiece means the music strays from overplaying and instead delights in its straightforwardness and clarity. Hints of The National or the more contemplative pieces of the The Walkmen make appearances, but it’s no pastiche. “I was looking for something more classicsounding, more focused on hooks,” comments Price. Part of Good Field’s charm is explained away in this formula, and from the folksy “Gimme a Reason” to the more damaged and

DJ FRANCIS PREVE
– The professor mixes it up
Written by Jennifer Swanson
Electronic music teacher by day, rock star DJ by night, Francis Preve is keeping Austin cool. The professor of 10+ years at Austin Community College and self-taught sound designer has carved a niche for himself in the music world by employing his technical edge. Mixing tech savviness with a great ear for sound, he’s produced projects for some of the biggest names in the industry. His works include remixes for the much loved pop hipsters Dragonette and Winter Kills in addition to high-profile DJs such as Snader Kleinenberg and Dave Seaman/Josh Gabriel. As a producer, performer, sound designer for Ableton, Roland and Korg, Technology Editor for Beatportal.com and Academik record label founder, it seems there’s no electronic music challenge this sound master can’t handle. What’s most impressive is that he’s doing it all from his home base in Austin, Texas, proving, “You can make it big anywhere,” as he says, in this digital age. How long have you called Austin home? Over the course of my career, I lived in both LA and NYC for a while, but when I came to visit Austin in 1995, I knew I’d found my new home. How did you first get into DJing? As a producer, I’d done numerous remixes over the years, for artists ranging from Utah Saints, Orbital, Gabriel & Dresden... but it soon became clear that DJing was the way to reach a larger audience. So in 2007, I grabbed my laptop and a copy of Ableton Live and began gigging. How would you describe your style of DJing? I love anything that’s funky, whether it’s techno, electro or progressive. If it makes me want to move, then it’s something I’d spin. My sets tell a story with that. I usually start with a more house sound, then move into the bigger tracks. How’d your collaborations with huge names like Wolfgang Gartner and Gabriel & Dresden come about? Honestly, these guys are old friends of mine, so our collaborations have been more about hanging out
14
Downtown Austin Magazine March & April 2013
in the studio and seeing what happens. Fortunately for everyone involved, those tracks ended up becoming hits. All of that music came out of our friendships, rather than being premeditated. What are you currently working on? I just finished a few collaborations with emerging artists like Matt Lange and Jan van Lier, and I’m working on one with Josh Gabriel (from Gabriel & Dresden). These will be coming out this spring and summer on my label, Academik Records. I’m also doing a bunch of sound design projects — creating presets and such — for several musical instrument companies, like Korg and iZotope. What’s your vision for your label, Academik? I started Academik back in 2011 as a way to release my own tracks directly, instead of having to shop them to other labels. Once that got rolling, I realized it was the ultimate platform to showcase my students and protégées, so I started releasing their tracks too. 2013 is going to be a big year. We’ve already completed four EPs, so we’ll be releasing one per month from now on. Where can we catch your beats in Austin? I spin at Lanai on the first and third Saturdays of every month, often with artists I’m mentoring — like Arcader, Shreddward and a few others. I also spin afterhours at Kingdom on third Saturdays. If you could DJ any venue in the world, where would it be and why? I’ve been fortunate enough to have already played some legendary venues. Avalon in LA, Cielo and Pacha in New York, Melkweg in Amsterdam... I’ve even had the honor of opening for Tiesto twice in front of 4000+ people, so there’s not a lot of curiosity about “big rooms.” Frankly, I’d rather play for a sweaty club packed with 300 faces I can actually see and interact with. I like that intimacy. What is one thing that most people do not know about you? I used to be an amateur drag racer and am a certified scuba diver. Oh hey, that’s two. Oops.

DAM DOWNTOWN PERSONALITY
TAMMY SHAKLEE
– Founder, He’s For Me
Leaning on her own success using an offline matchmaking service, Tammy set up shop to help professional gay men do the same in Austin and beyond. Written by Kristen O’Brien Photography by LeAnn Mueller
Step into the offices of He’s For Me and you step into an oasis of tranquility with walls and furniture in soothing and sophisticated shades of blue, beige and green. Paintings of the male form by artist Christian Price Frazer in acrylics, oils and gemstones adorn the entryway and conference room walls. Appearance is everything here and that is advice that Tammy Shaklee, matchmaker and owner of H4M, wants to impart on her clients. She not only finds them suitable dates but she helps them over haul their look with her team of experts. Shaklee herself is a successful product of the personal offline matchmaking company “It’s Just Lunch,” which H4M is modeled after. The only difference is that while It’s Just Lunch sets up men and women on lunch dates, H4M sets up professional gay men. Shaklee launched H4M in November 2012 after she saw a void in the market. “When I learned that gay men, sophisticated business men, did not have the same offline, private personal option (that I had) I said, ‘well, they deserve it just as much as I did. Why doesn’t it exist for them?’” Shaklee is a natural and enthusiastic people connector. She is a former broadcast journalist and Texas Senate District Director for the late Senator Teel Bivins. When Shaklee is contacted by a prospective client she has an initial two hour interview to get to know them. This is where she determines if they have the necessary attitude to succeed, as she describes it, “walking the walk, not just talking the talk.” Then there’s the background check. Next she might refer the client as needed
18
Downtown Austin Magazine March & April 2013
to her experts in grooming, home makeovers and therapy. And finally two to three weeks after the initial meeting she will set them up on their first date. For Shaklee it is important to “freshen the habitat and prepare your mind and spirit for this. It really is an attitude that you believe that you are going to meet your person. If you believe it you dress differently, you act differently, even your head-talk is positive.” One of her new clients is Daniel, age 44, who says he was drawn to H4M because, “I’m interested in meeting others who are long term relationship minded and like some of the things I do. I think it is difficult finding someone with those qualities that isn’t already coupled.” Daniel was happy with his first date and is game for a second. “We had so many similar interests which gave us plenty to talk about. We even figured out that we had a few mutual friends which made us laugh.” Shaklee sets up the first two dates for her clients, including organizing the restaurant reservations and then turns the reigns over to them. When asked how gay matchmaking differs from heterosexual matchmaking, Shaklee says, “Surprisingly there are not as many differences as one would expect. It really is about a person’s spirit, soul, being and who they are. In the design of the business, my goal was for so many of the same things that I experienced: a quality introduction, with a quality person, with standards and values that I am looking for.” But how does she define success with her matchmaking? Traditional matchmaking services tend to define success by their clients who marry. And though the national trend is
certainly shifting towards more states allowing same sex marriage, is that also the goal for her clients at H4M? Shaklee defines the success of her services in more modest terms. “Number one we think success is if gay men can let this be an organic introduction. They don’t see pictures before they go on a date. The second measure of success is does it lead to a second date.” And the last measure of success she says is if they put their memberships on hold. H4M is a twelve month or twelve date commitment, whichever comes first. “If they call in and say ‘I want to see where this is going and I want to put my membership on hold for a little bit,’ that’s success. It means they have possibly found their person. Our main focus is long term relationships.” Shaklee hopes to expand her matchmaking services to Houston and Dallas next while keeping Austin as her headquarters. She is also open to expanding her franchise beyond Texas and to eventually having a She’s For Me company with a focus on the lesbian community. For now she seems content with expanding her client base in Austin and by scouting out more men looking for long term relationships. She admits that she loves what she does and for her the biggest reward is the hope she sees in her clients after their initial meeting. “They come in questioning, could this be an option for me, and they leave with hope that they may really find someone. Seeing hope is so exciting.” Find out more at www.h4m-austin.com

DAM STREET STYLES
Spring Step Street style both inspires and draws inspiration from the runway. Spring 2013 is no exception and is sparking awe and confusion as it draws on urban 90’s styles, excessive clashing patterns, metal shielding, holograms, and tons of accessories. Austin carries out it legacy as one of the best cities for vintage shopping and flawlessly incorporates the throwback look into an updated palette. By Chelsea Corinne

AARON ROSS
– Along for the ride
Having conquered the world of BMX, Aaron has set out to build a successful brand spanning bikes, equipment, and clothing. Written by Jennifer Swanson Photography by LeAnn Mueller
It’s been said by several successful artists in the past that success involves finding something you love and mastering it to the point that people will pay you to do it. In Austin, in the world of BMX riding, Aaron Ross has been able to do just that. This pro-athlete, referred to in the industry as “Boss,” has achieved a phenomenal measure of success. He’s been recognized as #1 Street Rider in the world, among other international accolades. It’s a title Ross dreamed about at thirteen, but never imagined he’d win. Perhaps it’s because this fun-loving, self-taught BMX-er is not as much about competition as he is the sheer joy of the sport. Embodying the true essence of BMX — an activity started in the 70’s by a couple of California kids hanging out, experimenting on their bikes — Ross loves to ride with his friends. He embraces each day churning the wheels on his bike around town with his buds (no doubt working his infamous tailwhip tricks and jumping down large flights of stairs). BMX is an enjoyable, social sport, and one he’s been able to make a lifestyle out of. A fearless and passionate individual, this champion proves you can make it to the top doing what you love while having fun along the way. From an early age, Ross was fortunate enough to have the support of his parents in pursuing his risky interest. His father grew up riding motocross, so athletic confidence runs in his blood. “My dad was excited. It was never a dumb thing that I was doing. It was never like, ‘Hey you need to stop that and go do your homework,’ it was kind of like, ‘Do your homework so you can go ride,’” he said. Born and raised in Corpus Christi, Ross devoted weekends to traveling with his father and biking around Austin, Houston and various state parks. “I spent a good majority of weekends during my
36
Downtown Austin Magazine March & April 2013
senior year, probably half, coming to Austin. By four o’clock in the afternoon every Friday, I’d be in Austin riding bikes.” So, it was simply a matter of time before he graduated and relocated to Austin — the perfect city for Ross as it hosts one of the largest bike teams in the world. When he’s not doing demos or on the road, Ross’ days are filled with a number of activities from designing bikes and merchandise to action filming, after school reading and volunteering for the Make A Wish Foundation. Although he declines to refer to himself as an artist, he’s actively involved in the creative design process with Sunday Bikes. “I work closely with the parts company and the bike company,” said Ross whose models are easy to recognize for their tones. “All of my bikes are bright and colorful. The newest things over the last few years have been the Soda bikes. They are super detailed and all have retro themes, like the Orange Soda bike, the Grape Soda bike and the Cherry Soda bike.” Currently, you might spot him cruising town on his Bomb Pop — a red, blue and cream version of the many fun, old-fashioned styles he produces. With sponsor deals and production through Fox, Odyssey and Etnies, fans can deck out in Aaron Ross BMX wear from head to toe. And while the right gear and bike parts are fundamental for performance, nothing is quite as important when street riding as the focus and awareness of the athlete. “It’s kind of funny. I really only get hurt when I’m just having fun, relaxing and riding bikes,” Ross confessed while reflecting on past incidents. “When I’m standing on top of something that is the most dangerous thing, and it’s really, really, really scary, I’m so focused that I’m prepared for whatever’s about to happen. It’s when I’m just outside, like
let’s just go ride around, that I’ll just jump down a curb, mess up and roll my ankle,” he smirked. “The majority of some of my major injuries happened like that.” Nonetheless, such occasional battle scars don’t stop Ross, or other like-minded BMX die-hards, from stunting; they understand that breaks and bruises come with the territory. After talking to Aaron Ross, despite his laundry list of wear and tear, it’s clear his passion and love of the sport keep him going. He’s always progressing, moving up and on to new projects. It’s been a journey filled with athletic achievement, adventure, international travel, fame and sponsorship deals that most riders hope for; a ride that happened to also result in cool product developments, including the creation of an Aaron Ross action figure. This year, Ross looks forward to traveling and filming more promos and commercials. So every time you see Ross around town or in one of those Hot Wheels advertisements, remember he’s living his dream. He’s doing it the right way and is definitely along for a happy and successful ride. He’s also helping “keep Austin weird” through the pursuit of a non-traditional career path, which has evolved to a greater level of reward than he ever anticipated. In Austin, we’re proud to have him as one of our own and could all benefit from his philosophy on work and life — “Just enjoy today, because you don’t know what tomorrow is like. If you’re not happy today, do something that will make you a little more happy tomorrow.” Find out more at www.theaaronross.com

SCOTT OTA
– Wine Captain & Sommelier, The Driskill Grill
The young oenophile has quickly established himself as one of Austin’s go-to experts on all things grape. Written by Kristen O’Brien Photography by Annika Franco
Scott Ota welcomes me warmly into his office and to the large round table where his notes, flashcards and coffee cup sit. His “office” is the elegant Driskill Grill dining room where Ota is wine captain and sommelier. At age 30 he is relatively new to the sommelier business. He discovered his passion for wine in late 2010 when he was working front of the house at Jezebel and having a healthy knowledge of wine was necessary for the evolution of his job. How would he describe that first bottle of wine that forever changed his trajectory? “It was a Bodegas El Nido and I believe it was a 2005. I was used to growing up with Kendall Jackson and Clois du Bois and things like that but in the realm of complexity (there’s) nothing like Bodegas. It literally blew me away.” Since then he has experienced a meteoric rise which he credits to his community of Austin sommeliers and in particular Nathan Prater, Wine Director at the Driskill. Talk to Ota about his profession and the word community comes up a lot. He believes Austin is a particularly supportive place, “more so than just about any other city that I can imagine. We’re all just trying to help each other get better because we feel that Austin has this growing appreciation for wine.” He recently won Somm’s Under Fire, the wine and food pairing competition here in Austin and is studying to take level three of the
38
Downtown Austin Magazine March & April 2013
Court of Masters sommelier exams in August. “There are only about 600 of those (Level 3) in the nation. There are only five in Austin right now. And I feel very fortunate because I study with two of them. Court of Masters appealed to me because their focus is on both service and humility and in my opinion that’s probably the most important thing. What’s the point of rattling off all of the sub-zones of vino verde if I can’t translate that to the guests?” For Ota his favorite part about being a sommelier is the interaction with customers and introducing people to new wine experiences. “Being able to engage with the customer, gain that trust, and being able to deliver that bottle of wine is just a thrill that I absolutely love. It’s such a gratifying experience when you can introduce someone to a great bottle of wine.” Since even the word “sommelier” seems to intimidate people I asked Ota about common misconceptions in his field. “That we’re evil and we’re trying to gouge you,” Ota said with a laugh. “That’s not what we’re about. The sommeliers that I’ve met, especially in Austin, they’re warm and they want to have fun. They’re accessible. We want you to have the best possible time. I just want more people to not be afraid of us because we’re here to help.” His favorite places in Austin for food and drink? For the perfect cocktail Ota likes to go
to Bar Congress for a gin martini mixed by Jason Stevens. “If I could have one bartender for the rest of my life it would be Jason.” Food favorites include the charcuterie plate at Salty Sow and then Ota mentions his love of sushi and Uchiko where he says they are still “killing it.” Ota admits that Japanese is his “soul food” but that he is biased because of his Japanese descent. He also admits to his guilty pleasures like the charro beans at Habanero Mexican Café because they’re “marinated overnight in pork fat. It’s awesome.” Before concluding our interview and letting Ota return to work, which entails a 1.30pm champagne tasting, I ask him about his secret of success. He lights up when he tells me that it’s about following your passion. “If you’re going to be working 12 plus hour days you’d better love what you do. I actually have a smile on my face 95% of the time when I walk into work. I love the interaction with people. I get to share with them my nerdyness for booze. Being able to taste wine and call it homework is also pretty cool too. It’s all about luck. I got lucky.”
5 Wine Recommendations from Scott Ota 1. Rosé – Hedges Family Estates Independent Producers, rosé of Cabernet France, Red Mountain, WA 2011 This wine is the perfect example of balance between the Old World and the New World. It’s a pure expression of rosé that is nearly unmatched for its price – a mere $18 retail. Pairs perfectly with any seafood or veggies
2. Sparkling/Champagne – Godmé Pere et Fils, 1er Cru Champagne Brut N.V. Celebrate anytime you can find value in Champagne. This wonderful Chardonnay-dominant blend makes for the perfect aperitif as it offers freshness and texture with a mineral backbone. This wine retails for under $35.
3. White – BassermanJordan, Riesling Trocken, Pfalz, Germany 2011 Not every Riesling is sweet! Basserman-Jordan balances ripeness of fruit, acid, and florals to produce an energetic and elegant wine perfect for any season. Pair with anything (except red meat) and it won’t cost you an arm and a leg with its sub $20 price tag.
4. Red – Jean Foillard “Cote du Py” Cru Morgon, Beaujolais, France 2010/11
5. Splurge – Pierre Gimonnet, Special Club, 1er Cru Blanc de Blancs Brut 2004
Craving Burgundy without the crazy price tag? Look for Cru Beaujolais, and in particular, Jean Foillard. The wine offers ripeness and structure rivaling the best in the area. For around $30, it is hard to find a better value in Burgundy.
A group of 26 growerproducers are crafting delicious wines at fractions of the cost when compared to the larger negotiants.This Champagne offers the buyer a chance to taste the best terroir at sub $90.

VEGGIE PLATES
– Local dining turns a new leaf
No longer content to present them as a sideshow, local chefs are making vegetables your meal’s main attraction. Written by Kristen O’Brien Photography by Jake Herrle
A vegetable pavè with an assortment of locally sourced vegetables baked inside a crispy phyllo crust with a creamy walnut vinaigrette… roasted beets, green curry aïoli, smoked mushrooms and pumpkin seeds…zucchini, squash, garlic, tomato ragu and ricotta. Don’t dare call any of these tantalizing vegetable dishes ‘sides,’ rather these are all main course vegetable plates at three Austin restaurants that pride themselves on inventive cuisine. On menus across the country more and more vegetable dishes are taking the lead, no longer being relegated to side plates. According to Technomic, Eatocracy, Epicurious and Sterling-Rice, to name a few, vegetables are at the top of the food trends list for 2013. With more of a national focus on healthier food choices, as well as the rising cost of meat because of last summer’s droughts that forced farmers to reduce the size of their herds, vegetables now get to take center stage.

Vegetables at Hillside Farmacy
What do some of Austin’s chef ’s think about this new trend? “After a decade of pig, pig, and pig being all anyone got excited about, I for one, am welcoming the shift,” says Todd Duplechan of Lenoir where ¼ of the menu is already devoted to vegetable main dishes. Chef-owner Chris Hurley of the recently opened new American restaurant, The Bonneville, welcomes the trend. “It’s a great idea. Vegetables are just as versatile as the proteins we use to create dishes.” Hurley also believes it’s a new avenue for chefs to explore their creativity. “It’s the way we like to eat when we’re at home cooking for ourselves. We explore the farmers markets and come up with ideas for dinner and many times those ideas end up on our menu at the restaurant.” Sonya Coté of Hillside Farmacy, who is slated to open a new restaurant concept in East Austin in early summer, has been an avid supporter of the vegetable movement since she was raised vegetarian, studied vegan and micro-biotic cooking and became active in supporting local Austin farms and farmers. “Buying food from people that we know is a good trend,” says Coté, “And eating more vegetables.” Meet some of the vegetables that will be making more of an appearance on your plate this year. Hello cauliflower, bye-bye Brussels sprouts and kale, last year’s vegetable rock stars. Roasted cauliflower “steaks” are already on the menu at notable restaurants in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles. Sonya Coté of Hillside Farmacy

Shawn Hines preparing a Pepino Fresco at The Bonneville
The Fat Radish in New York does a whole roasted local cauliflower with Castelvetrano olives, almonds and pecorino. Superba Snack Bar in Los Angeles offers a cauliflower T-bone with parsley puree, and orange and olive pistou. Coté of Hillside Farmacy says that cauliflower is her favorite vegetable to work with…she happened to be using cauliflower as we spoke in a vegetable soup that also included fennel, collard greens, sweet potatoes and green onions. Vegetables are expected on the savory side of the menu, but what about dessert? How does a fennel panna cotta, a maple parsnip cake, or an avocado mousse sound, just a few of the
44
Downtown Austin Magazine March & April 2013
intriguing desserts making waves on national menus? Vegetables are infiltrating the dessert menu as well and all of the chefs interviewed were enthusiastic about using vegetables on their dessert menus. Duplechan uses butternut squash in Lenoir’s butternut & apple turnover currently on the menu. Coté says she’s created a butternut pot de crème and a sweet potato crème brûlée. Hurley says there is nothing veggie-centric on his current menu but he’s not ruling it out. He does say that you can find veggies at his bar though. Which leads to yet another vegetable trend. Creative bartenders are already infusing vodka, gin and rum with vegetables such as beets, cucumbers and even
kale. At the Bonneville, bartender Shawn Hines makes a Southern Twist with rhubarb bitters and the Pepino Fresco with cucumber infused vodka, lemon juice, fresh cucumbers and soda water. When discussing vegetables with local Austin chefs two names repeatedly come up in the produce conversation: Johnson’s Backyard and Springdale Farms. Both are respected community farms in East Austin that supply vegetables to Austin’s top restaurants. Sam Thorp, Wholesale Coordinator for Johnson’s Backyard Garden shared his thoughts on the vegetable renaissance. Thorp says he has seen an increase in vegetable demand and variety in the last year, “we’ve seen a lot more chefs looking for vegetable items that are different and that they can showcase on their menu.” What are the current popular vegetables chefs are seeking out? “Chefs like the varieties of radish like the Watermelon radish, black Spanish radish and a Japanese Salad Turnip, that has gotten a lot of positive responses for its subtle flavor,” says Thorp. “We also have a lot of good feedback on the cauliflower that we grow. We’ve seen an increase in demand for purple cauliflower, Romanesco cauliflower and Cheddar cauliflower, an orange variety of cauliflower.” The overall trend that Thorp sees “is a lot of really passionate chefs that are looking for something different, something that hasn’t been done before. They are trying to push the boundaries of what a substantial meal, or dining out, or what good food really is. And I think a lot of that comes from having a good sense of where your food comes from.” Austinites can find locally grown vegetables and create their own veggie main plates by visiting any number of farmer’s markets or signing up for weekly vegetable deliveries through community supported agricultural programs (CSA.) Coté suggests when selecting vegetables that you stick to seasonality, “that will be what’s freshest and most flavorful and most nutritious. Visit your farmers market and farms and find out what’s in season and even if you don’t know what it is, buy it anyway. Call me and I’ll tell you how to make it.”
