Austin Daily Photo: Salty Sow In Soft Opening Run-Up Toward Full Service In East Austin
We received some strong intel off the tipster button yesterday afternoon that Salty Sow was going soft last night, so we figured it was as good a time as any to walk a block and a half from the homestead, work our way through the menu and issue a report.
Didn’t work out.
Walking into the old Red House Pizza, the building is unrecognizable. The rehab is incredible with soft lighting, low ceilings and a general feeling of good ambiance. The smells coming out of the kitchen were maddening. If the food’s half as good as the aroma, it’s going to be a home run from the Hopdoddy team.
But we couldn’t get fed.
The fete was for friends and family only.
Can’t wait to get back when they’re open/open and eat the source of those smells.
