Olamaie Is Austin’s Best Restaurant of 2019, Says Statesman Critic - Eater Austin

"Statesman critic Matthew Odam has named Southern destination Olamaie as the city’s best restaurant for 2019 — the third year that the downtown restaurant has come out on top of Odam’s guide. Odam praised Olamaie chef-owner Michael Fojtasek for “changing the way diners thought about stereotypically heavy, one-note Southern dishes” at his San Antonio Street restaurant, which opened in 2014. While its innovative approach helped it earn that top spot, Odam also complimented Fojtasek for keeping things approachable, with “dishes more interested in comforting than confusing with descriptors and technical nuance”. Olamaie previously took the number one position on Odam’s 2017 best restaurants list; in 2018, it dropped to fourth spot on his list." - Tim Forster
