Austin chef Bryce Gilmore is all about Texas, which is evident with his two restaurants. The higher end Barley Swine fully embraces the Lone Star State’s bounty. It is with the restaurant's tasting menu where the James Beard Award nominee guides his diners through an authentic Austin experience full of very seasonal produce sourced from local farms and ranches. Catch it before the restaurant moves from its original location on South Lamar to Burnet into a bigger space. Here, watch Gilmore’s 14 course tasting menu.
