This fall, Austin’s Tarrytown neighborhood will welcome a new Southwestern-inspired bar and grill, Teddy’s, brought to life by the dynamic duo behind Bill’s Oyster—Daniel Berg and Dylan Salisbury. Set to open in November, Teddy’s promises to be a vibrant neighborhood spot, led by Executive Chef Rene Garza, whose resume includes impressive stints at Uptown Sports Club, Este, and Suerte.
Named after Berg’s son Edward, affectionately called “Teddy,” the restaurant will showcase an inviting, warm space reflecting its Southwestern roots. The 80-seat establishment features a stylish blend of dark wood accents and a copper bar, offering 40 indoor seats and a temperature-controlled outdoor patio that seats 40—perfect for dining year-round.
Teddy’s menu will celebrate the unique flavors of Texas with bold Southwestern flair and a Mexican influence. Executive Chef Rene Garza, known for his work in some of Austin’s top kitchens, is excited to bring his expertise to the new concept. “At Teddy’s, we want to celebrate the unique flavors of Texas, blending the bold and rich influences of Mexican cuisine with a modern Southwestern twist,” says Garza.
Diners can look forward to standout dishes like Texas Red Chili, Filet Mignon with Chile Relleno, Blue Crab Tostada, and Parker House Rolls with Cinnamon Ancho Butter. The menu will offer something for everyone, from casual weekday meals to special occasions, ensuring Teddy’s becomes a go-to spot for locals and visitors alike.
The bar program will be just as exciting, featuring craft cocktails, martini specialties, frozen drinks, and a curated wine list. Whether you’re looking for a refreshing drink after work or enjoying a laid-back weekend with friends, Teddy’s promises to deliver.
According to Berg, the goal is to create a relaxed space where friends and families can come together. “We want Teddy’s to be a place where families and friends can come together, relax, and enjoy great food and drinks,” says Berg. “It’s a place for everyone, whether you’re stopping in for a casual weekday lunch or celebrating a special occasion.”
Located at 1601 W 38th St Ste 1 in east Tarrytown, Teddy’s will open daily for dinner, with plans to add breakfast, lunch, and weekend brunch service shortly after the grand opening.

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,…
