Austin’s first food hall, Fareground, has announced the addition of two new restaurant partners to its diverse lineup of eateries and retailers. Freshii, a healthy fast-casual restaurant, has already opened its doors to customers, while JewBoy Sliders will be opening on Monday, April 24.
Founded by Mo Pittle, who also owns JewBoy Burgers and JewBoy Sub Shop, JewBoy Sliders offers a unique twist on classic sliders with Jewish flavors. The menu features a variety of options, including classic beef burgers, Reuben, French Dip, and Falafel sliders, and more. Additionally, JewBoy Sliders will also serve cold sliders, mini latkes and fries, border style queso, a specialty caesar salad, and other fried items. Pittle’s inspiration comes from his Jewish upbringing near the Texas/Mexican border, combined with Austin’s culture of creativity and inclusion.
Freshii is a fast-casual restaurant offering salads, wraps, bowls, soups, cold-pressed juices, smoothies, and more. The restaurant is constantly evolving its menu to make healthy food more convenient and affordable. To celebrate its opening month, Freshii will donate $1 from every order at its Fareground location to the Central Texas Food Bank.
Fareground, located in the heart of downtown Austin at 111 Congress Avenue, also features globally-inspired cuisine from Austin Rôtisserie, Little Wu, and Taco Pegaso, as well as two cocktail bars, Ellis and DRINK. Additionally, Austin Snack Co offers a variety of curated food, snacks, beverages, and health and beauty items to customers on the go.
Fareground serves as an incubator for chefs and experimental restaurant concepts, providing a space for restaurateurs to grow and scale their businesses. The food hall is a gathering space for food and culture, attracting neighbors, locals, artists, and tourists alike.
“We are thrilled to bring JewBoy Sliders to Fareground,” said owner and executive chef, Mo Pittle. “Fareground gives tastemakers like myself a brick & mortar to grow and share our creations with customers in the heart of downtown Austin, who may not otherwise have had the chance to meet us or taste what we have to offer.”
Fareground is managed by Richard Sandoval Hospitality, an internationally recognized contemporary Latin restaurant group that owns and operates over 60 restaurant concepts in 11 countries around the world, including Ciclo at Four Seasons Austin.
The food hall is open daily from 11am to 9pm, with online orders available through 8:30pm. Operating hours for individual eateries may vary. Fareground offers order-ahead and contactless online order options. Visit faregroundaustin.com for more information and follow Fareground on social media at @faregroundaustin.

New Orleans, LA - On October 22, 2024, I recently had an opportunity to attend the grand opening of Caesars New Orleans, marking the completion of a stunning $435 million transformation of the former Harrah’s New Orleans. It was an evening to remember, filled with excitement, luxury, and the vibrant spirit of New Orleans. The festivities began on Canal Street with an exhilarating ceremony led by Caesars Entertainment CEO Tom Reeg, President & COO Anthony Carano, and Caesars New Orleans General Manager Samir Mowad. The atmosphere was electric as they joined Caesar himself and an iconic New Orleans second-line band in a lively procession into the casino. It felt like the entire city had come out to celebrate, with Caesars New Orleans team members and Mayor LaToya Cantrell also joining the event to commemorate this historic occasion. Anthony Carano’s pride in introducing Caesars to New Orleans was palpable. “From local favorite Emeril Lagasse to our long-time partner, Chef Nobu, to the beautiful state-of-the-art Caesars Sportsbook, all-new rooms and gaming floor, and of course, our gorgeous new center bar, Octavia, Caesars New Orleans offers something for everyone. It’s a world-class resort in the heart of the Big Easy, and we can’t wait for our guests to experience it,” he said. The ceremony was a spectacle, kicking off with an iconic Mardi Gras float featuring Caesar and his court, and a dazzling firework show that lit up the New Orleans sky. The second-line band then led us revelers into the resort’s elegant center bar, Octavia, where we indulged in a “Taste of Caesars New Orleans.” Each bite from the six on-property restaurants was a delightful journey, capturing the essence of New Orleans’ rich culinary scene. Throughout the night, elemental entertainers, including the Saints Cheer Krewe, Mardi Gras Indians, Zulu Tramps, and showgirls, created an authentic and unforgettable Big Easy experience. Everywhere I turned, there was something new to marvel at, each performance more mesmerizing than the last. Samir Mowad, SVP and GM of Caesars New Orleans, highlighted the significance of the transformation, stating, “This year marks 25 years since we opened in New Orleans, and the completion of this project is the perfect way to usher in a new era with Caesars. Synonymous with the Caesars name, our new resort is pure elegance, and we’re excited to introduce a luxury brand like this to New Orleans. We are extremely grateful for the support of the community, our team members, and our guests as we come to the finish line of this tremendous transformation.” The hotel itself is impressive,…
