Austin Food Truck Sekse Fud Ko Opens New Laotian Restaurant Lao’d Bar | Eater Austin

"Before the restaurant opens, I followed Somsith’s food truck, Sek-sē•Füd•Kō (styled Sek-sē•Füd•Kō, pronounced “sexy food co.,” and formerly known as SXSE), which focused on Southern American and Southeast Asian cuisines with an emphasis on Laotian food and offered both a la carte and tasting-menu meals. Somsith began cooking on his own via SXSE in 2014 for pickup/delivery orders, catering gigs, and events (he also sold packaged jerky), opened the food truck in 2018 at Celis Brewery, moved around before landing at North Austin’s 4th Tap Co-op in November 2020 (leaving when that brewery closed in summer 2022), then changed the truck’s name, roamed the city, and found a permanent home at Vacancy Brewing in September 2022; the truck closed ahead of the restaurant, with its last day of service at Vacancy Brewing in the East Congress neighborhood on March 17." - Nadia Chaudhury
