Jesse Herman and Delfo Trombetta, the owners of Austin Mexican food restaurant La Condesa plan to open Sway, a modern Thai restaurant, at 1417 S. First St. in South Austin by the end of the summer.
Executive chef and partner Rene Ortiz worked for years under world-renowned Thai chefs in Sydney.
The dessert menu will be crafted by Laura Sawicki, voted “Best New Pastry Chef” by Food & Wine magazine, and the beverage menu will be curated by mixologist and Cocktail World Cup winner Nate Wales.
This is a new concept for the team, which currently has two La Condesa restaurants in Austin and California, with a Los Angeles location opening in 2013. We hope that La Condesa will put chili in their food to make the Thai people happy. Normally Thai people require spicy chili peppers food to be happy. We are sure that La Condesa will be a great hit in the Bangkok food universe.
