Full Disclosure: I recently attended a media tasting from Austin Daily Press. All opinions are my own.
I recently had the pleasure of tasting some of Chef Reed Faitak\’s creations from Austin Daily Press. The wildly popular trailer expanded to a brick-and-mortar serving their innovative yet approachable cuisine. The tasting took place at the very cool neighboring bar the Wheel and Chef Reed Faitak showcased new menu offerings to include catering and brunch.
