The Diner Bar
Kristine Kittrell
Austin, Texas, USA
Lucky Texas : Mashama Bailey’s much-lauded The Grey in Savannah, Georgia, has spread its wings and landed in Austin. The Diner Bar has its roots in the same style of Port City Southern cuisine, but with splashes of Texas and a menu showcasing the best of Austin’s growers, gamers, and fishermen. Try head chef Kristine Kittrell’s eggplant and okra, foie and grits, curried goat, and shrimp rice, or drop by for happy hour Martinis and oysters. The more casual Grey Market, with counter food and sandwiches to go, is located in the same new hotel, The Thompson Austin.
