Red Ash in Downtown Austin Reopens After Fire | Eater Austin

"Chef Deepa Shridhar is launching a series called Rasam & Cheese that will combine a tangy South Indian tamarind broth (rasam) with curated Cypress Grove goat cheeses; the five-course menu includes complimentary pairings with RedThumb Wine, Rambler Sparkling Water, and local beers, and vegetarian options will be available on request. Shr idhar—Texas-born South Asian immigrant who has cooked at Dai Due and Lenoir and ran the now-defunct Puli-Ra trailer—is hosting the series with Alex Palomo (formerly wholesale director at Antonelli’s Cheese Shop); Rasam & Cheese launches Saturday, May 18, from 4:30 to 7 p.m. at the Made in Studio, and tickets are available online." - Courtney E.
