Former Vox Table Chef Revamps Kerbey Lane Cafe’s Menu - Eater Austin
"Longtime Austin diner chain Kerbey Lane Cafe has a new executive chef with Joe Anguiano, who was the founding chef of now-shuttered Lamar Union restaurant Vox Table. He will oversee the current seven locations of Kerbey’s kitchens, as well as develop its seasonal menus. Anguiano will debut his new Kerbey menu on Thursday, May 24. The summer spread includes dishes like salmon burgers, smoked salmon Benedict with potato latkes, fried green tomato BLT slider, gazpacho salad, and chicken and pancakes served with a maple-jalapeno sauce. The mostly all-hours diner chain is also partnering with local sweets spot Amy’s Ice Cream for its desserts menu. This includes a take on queso dubbed “ice cream queso,” which means Mexican vanilla ice cream, Zilker Mint (it’s supposed to serve as the “guacamole,” pico de gallo made of kiwi, whipped cream, and shortbread “chips.” This specific dish will be available at the restaurants starting on Monday, May 14. Elsewhere, there are snickerdoodle ice cream sandwiches and fudge brownie sundaes. Kerbey is also opening its eighth restaurant up in Mueller, and the long-awaited West Braker Lane one is still in the works." - Nadia Chaudhury
