Don’t be fooled by the strip mall location and the long lines out the door due to a no-reservation policy. This is where Austin’s culinary intelligencers go when they are looking for progressive cooking. The reason is Bryce Gilmore’s cuisine, which features dishes like carrots with goat feta, ancho chile and a fried chickpea cake; black cod with potato, leek, salt cod cream and olive; and cow head with artichoke, caramelized white chocolate and sunflower. As for comments by our reviewers about Gilmore’s cooking, our favorite comes from one who told us, “Bryce Gilmore has an understanding of foie gras that is unmatched in Austin. It’s almost always paired with stronger notes that make the fat burst forward on the mid-palate, resulting in a delightful surprise in every bite.”
