If you’re anything like us, you know that living in a city with as much culinary excellence as Austin is both a blessing and a curse. Out of all the cities in the U.S., Austin was ranked number 2 for having the most exciting food scene, second only to L.A. (ok we’ll give you that, Californians). That means an endless list of options, guaranteed to infinitely delight and – at some point – strike you with the cruel plague of indecision.

How You Can Help the Food + Drink Business in Austin Right Now
Posted on Mar 24, 2020 by Johnny Jeffers
Since our last blog post regarding the COVID-19 virus, from March 13, 2020, we have seen the #socialdistancing phenomenon emerge, a recommendation to limit gatherings to 50 people and then to 10 people, and now we just have to stay inside. We’ve seen the closure of “non-essential” businesses across the country and already, we are seeing business closures and grocery store droughts happening across Austin. The City of Austin recently prohibited gatherings of over 10 people inside and outside (with the exception of governmental, educational, and medical spaces) and sit-ins at restaurants, bars, cafes, etc. Businesses are limited to providing to-go services only.

It was a Friday afternoon and the HMG team were all hands on deck clearing out the old office at South 2nd street- our home of three years. We did what we could with it and we made it our own with touches like our famous hand-painted mural (pictured below). We shared this space with our friends at Workhorse, who we’d like to thank for being awesome officemates over the years.
