Happy Saturday, Y’all! There were a lot of big openings in Austin this past week, including the highly-anticipated three-level mega HEB grocery store that just opened in Tarrytown. It features a spacious BBQ restaurant inside (perfectly fitting for us Austinites) with outdoor seating, a coffee shop, a full bar, a takeout pizza spot, and more! Sounds pretty cool, right? Also, the new restaurant Ember Kitchen and Subterra Agave Bar is officially open at the historic Seaholm Power Plant and looks like another worthy ATX foodie spot to add to your must-try list. (See below for more trending Austin food news!)
With so many new restaurant and store openings and many more anticipated openings yet to come this year, you can't help but think about the city's continued expansion. Austin is the fastest-growing major metro area in the U.S. — expanding by a third in the past ten years to quickly become the eleventh-largest city so far. And timely enough, The New Yorker recently published an eye-opening article related to this, titled “The Astonishing Transformation of Austin," which beautifully shares one longtime Austinite and writer Lawrence Wright's deep and insightful reflection on this evolution of Austin over the past few decades.
Even if you’re not a local, it’s a really fascinating perspective piece that truly dives into the past vs. present vs. future complexities of Austin's explosive growth, and more particularly, its tech boom and what this all means for the city's residents. I highly recommend checking it out! I've shared the article further down below, and if you read it or listen to the audible version, I’d love to know your thoughts. (P.S. as with most New Yorker articles, it’s a bit lengthy, but I promise it’s worth it!)

10 Kitchen Trends That Will Dominate 2023, According to Top Design Experts
|
"The past year has lent itself to bold new design moments that began with happy hues, flirted with Art Deco, grappled with Barbiecore-meets-home-decor, brought back the mythical furry floor fad, and catapulted into a new maximalism (viva la vita excessive!). And going into 2023, no space is whetting our collective appetite for what will be in vogue, decoratively speaking, more than the kitchen," says Elle Decor.
"We spoke with the industry’s top trend predictors who all agree that this year, dining in will be as extravagant as the occasional night out. So here are the top 10 kitchen trends that will command our culinary spaces in 2023."

3. A Secondary Prep Kitchen Is on Everyone’s Wishlist
“With the option of being transitional or closed off behind doors, these secondary spaces can house everything from additional refrigeration and warming drawers to built-in coffee systems, wine storage, dishwashers and more.”

4. Fluted Islands Are Making Huge Waves
"This pleasing repeated scallop-shaped ridge design that harks back to early Egyptian times adds warmth and texture that is bold without being too noisy."
