Packwood Still Selling Food: Except This Time He’s Not Cooking It

Uber Chef Will Packwood (Emelia’s, 7, Cibo) has helmed some wonderfully and singularly unfortunate Austin restaurants over the past ten years. New reports have him working for US Foods, a large purveyor to central Texas restaurants. Packwood was brilliant, but also very stubborn with regard to exactly what he was going to serve relative to what Austin audiences wanted. It’ll be interesting to see how he likes the supplier side of the business. But we wish him luck.
