Radio IST List: Chris Bauer


Ed Note: We're pleased to introduce guest contributor Robin Sinhababu, a North Carolina native and current East Austinite. Each week, Robin will be interviewing folks who, as he puts it, "create Austin's food, music, events, and sense of overwhelming and unavoidable fun." Recent Radio IST List posts can be viewed here.


From Robin:

Chris Bauer moved to Austin from New Orleans to work at the Barton Creek Country Club. He then opened Finn and Porter at the Hilton, worked briefly at Vin Bistro, and since February is Executive Chef at Mizu, which serves prime beef, cuttlefish sashimi, three creme brulees, and a "slow meat omelette" in a new building near Lake Travis on RR 620. I talked with Chris on the deck at Mizu about his menu, Texan wine, and his favorite Austin dinner.

    Great article and overview on Chef Chris....too bad Chef Chris is no longer with Mizu. I am not going to support a company that does not support their employees...my money follows Chef Chris and GM Brian wherever they go!
