"Stiles Switch owner Shane Stiles talked about how he came to open his several restaurants — the Brentwood barbecue spot, its recent Cedar Park counterpart, and the Dripping Springs smoked meats and Cajun restaurant the Switch — with the Chronicle last week. He shared how he was potentially going to open the original Stiles Switch on South First with a beer garden, but that address became home to Thai restaurant Sway instead, how the Belterra Village development company Endeavor reached out to him about opening a restaurant there, and why they decided to expand into Cedar Park (“Cedar Park is our customer base,” said Stiles.)." - Nadia Chaudhury
