From Red River
to MLK.

THE ORIGIN

Started in a trailer.
Still cooking like it.

Austin Daily Press started in 2009 as a food trailer on Red River Street — one of seven trucks competing on Season 1 of Food Network’s The Great Food Truck Race. We did not win the show. We won Austin instead. That original trailer sat beside Club DeVille, the Red River bar that later gave our Deville menu items their name.

Sixteen years later, we are still in East Austin, still scratch-making everything, and still obsessing over the torta. The brick-and-mortar on MLK opened because the neighborhood kept showing up. The patio is still the best seat in the house.

The food is globally-inspired and Texas-sized: Mexican technique, Vietnamese flavors, Southern comfort, all built on a foundation of bold, honest ingredients. No shortcuts. No corporate playbook. Just food worth showing up for.
