Restaurant PR in Austin
From BBQ institutions to James Beard nominees — Austin earns its national reputation.
Why ChowPR in Austin?
Austin's food scene has grown from a BBQ-and-tacos institution into a genuine fine-dining and culinary innovation hub — all while somehow preserving the laid-back, counter-service culture that made it famous. The city's tech industry wealth, its music and festival culture, and its rapid population growth have created an extraordinarily diverse and sophisticated dining public. ChowPR helps Austin restaurants — from trailer parks to white tablecloth concepts — earn the media attention their food deserves.
