Local elected officials announced food and water are en route to Austin as residents face concurrent power and water crises.
"Food and water is the highest priority that we have," Austin Mayor Steve Adler said during a Facebook live hosted by Travis County Judge Andy Brown on Thursday evening.
<p>City officials ordered one million gallons of water in 16-ounce bottles from six states in the Southeastern U.S. that is due in the next couple of days. "Trucks are on their way," Brown said. </p><p>Additionally, the Texas Department of Emergency management is due to deliver two 18-wheelers full of water from a FEMA site in Fort Worth Friday morning. </p><p>National Guard members are also helping to get a "flotilla of delivery trucks" full of food from H-E-B storehouses in Temple and San Antonio to Austin, Adler said.</p><p>Freezing temperatures have left Austin roads coated with ice and snow, making supply chain distribution processes difficult. The winter weather and power outages have forced many area grocery stores to close; those that have remained open have been wiped bare by customers in need of provisions.</p><div class="rm-embed embed-media"><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-captioned="" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/CLZyyFTFUf1/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" data-instgrm-version="13" style=" background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:540px; min-width:326px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);"><div style="padding:16px;"> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CLZyyFTFUf1/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" style=" background:#FFFFFF; line-height:0; padding:0 0; text-align:center; text-decoration:none; width:100%;" target="_blank"> <div style=" display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;"> <div style="background-color: #F4F4F4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;"></div> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;"> <div style=" background-color: #F4F4F4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;"></div> <div style=" background-color: #F4F4F4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;"></div></div></div><div style="padding: 19% 0;"></div> <div style="display:block; height:50px; margin:0 auto 12px; width:50px;"></div><div style="padding-top: 8px;"> <div style=" color:#3897f0; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; font-style:normal; font-weight:550; line-height:18px;"> View this post on Instagram</div></div><div style="padding: 12.5% 0;"></div> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: row; margin-bottom: 14px; align-items: center;"><div> <div style="background-color: #F4F4F4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(0px) translateY(7px);"></div> <div style="background-color: #F4F4F4; height: 12.5px; transform: rotate(-45deg) translateX(3px) translateY(1px); width: 12.5px; flex-grow: 0; margin-right: 14px; margin-left: 2px;"></div> <div style="background-color: #F4F4F4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(9px) translateY(-18px);"></div></div><div style="margin-left: 8px;"> <div style=" background-color: #F4F4F4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 20px; width: 20px;"></div> <div style=" width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 2px solid transparent; border-left: 6px solid #f4f4f4; border-bottom: 2px solid transparent; transform: translateX(16px) translateY(-4px) rotate(30deg)"></div></div><div style="margin-left: auto;"> <div style=" width: 0px; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-right: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(16px);"></div> <div style=" background-color: #F4F4F4; flex-grow: 0; height: 12px; width: 16px; transform: translateY(-4px);"></div> <div style=" width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-left: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(-4px) translateX(8px);"></div></div></div> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center; margin-bottom: 24px;"> <div style=" background-color: #F4F4F4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 224px;"></div> <div style=" background-color: #F4F4F4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 144px;"></div></div></a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CLZyyFTFUf1/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" style=" color:#c9c8cd; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; font-style:normal; font-weight:normal; line-height:17px; text-decoration:none;" target="_blank">A post shared by Austonia (@austonianews)</a><br/></div></blockquote> <script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script></div><p>A surge in demand for water coupled with a power outage at the city's largest water treatment plant led Austin Water to issue a boil water notice on Wednesday evening, which remains in effect. Tens of thousands of customers are also facing water outages, Director Greg Meszaros said during a press conference earlier in the afternoon. Those who still have water may not have electricity to boil it for safe use and are encouraged to take conservation measures.<br/></p><p>Although it will be a "multi-day process" to restore the water system, Meszaros said, there have been improvements in the city's ongoing power outage. As of 5:34 p.m., 40,231 Austin Energy customers were still impacted—or just under 8%. This is a significant improvement from Wednesday evening, when around 27% of customers were still facing outages. </p><p>Although the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, which maintains around 90% of the state's power grid, is no longer mandating outages, local utilities such as Austin Energy have to restore power incrementally to avoid overloading the system. Additionally, some outages are due to damage from the winter weather, which will require on-site maintenance. </p><p>In addition to these updates, Austin Mayor Steve Adler also reminded residents that the COVID-19 pandemic is ongoing. Although Austin Public Health does not yet know when it will be able to resume vaccine appointments, the department and hub provider will be increasing its hours and the number of vaccine clinic locations to ensure vulnerable residents get their second shots, Adler said.</p>

South Congress Mediterranean restaurant has Austinites booking weeks in advance for 'the whole experience'
05 February
(Aba)
Tucked away on South Congress and Music Lane is the magical Mediterranean oasis: Aba.
Aba, which is Hebrew for "father," opened its restaurant doors in October, providing fresh and vibrant Mediterranean dishes. Originally a Chicago favorite, Aba has already proven itself an Austin hit spot, booking dinner reservations for weeks in advance.
<p>Aba first opened its doors in Chicago's Fulton Market District in 2018 after Marc Jacobs, executive partner and divisional president of <a href="https://www.leye.com/" target="_blank">Lettuce Entertain You</a> and Chef CJ Jacobson had an idea to bridge Mediterranean cuisine with Californian freshness and modernism.</p><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image">
<img class="rm-shortcode" data-height="3333" data-rm-shortcode-id="d8600a678752d9d83db119db7ac44ac4" data-rm-shortcode-name="rebelmouse-image" data-runner-src="https://assets.rebelmouse.io/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpbWFnZSI6Imh0dHBzOi8vYXNzZXRzLnJibC5tcy8yNTU5ODI0OS9vcmlnaW4uanBnIiwiZXhwaXJlc19hdCI6MTY0MzU0MzM1OX0.XEgKhs9_EF_lAxMA7aTCz7uM5zUmKIAV2isuF4eXm5M/img.jpg?width=980" data-width="5000" id="969df" type="lazy-image"/>
<small class="image-media media-caption" placeholder="Add Photo Caption...">(Chase Daniels/Aba)</small></p><p><br/></p><p>Jacobs, who has worked for the dining enterprise Lettuce Entertain You for 28 years, has been visiting Austin for the last seven years consulting with businesses in town. After a 2017 company retreat to Austin, the group quickly became enamored with the city.</p><p>Following the success of the Chicago restaurant, Jacobs and Jacobson took a chance when the opportunity arose to open its second location in Austin with developer <a href="https://www.turnbridgeeq.com/" target="_blank">Turnbridge Equities</a>. The team visited the location on South Congress, spotted the enormous tree in their patio dining area and fell in love with the location, said Sue Kim, associate partner of Lettuce Entertain You.</p><p>Kim relocated to Austin with the opening of Aba on South Congress, along with other management on the team from Chicago. </p><p>"We are so grateful for the enthusiasm that our neighborhood and local community have shown us," Kim said. "There is no question that we embrace it. We are still so new though. There are so many people we still need to meet and serve, so we just do this one guest at a time, that's always been our mantra."</p><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image">
<img class="rm-shortcode" data-height="1080" data-rm-shortcode-id="1fe86702146932e636aa327c29a106c5" data-rm-shortcode-name="rebelmouse-image" data-runner-src="https://assets.rebelmouse.io/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpbWFnZSI6Imh0dHBzOi8vYXNzZXRzLnJibC5tcy8yNTU5ODQ1OS9vcmlnaW4ucG5nIiwiZXhwaXJlc19hdCI6MTYyNDk5NjQ2OX0.qDI7M07fF2ThE6MHLzIEbD5JxqN8RFgbIHOEVtldHhY/img.png?width=980" data-width="1920" id="a94a3" type="lazy-image"/>
<small class="image-media media-caption" placeholder="Add Photo Caption...">Marc Jacobs, CJ Jacobson and Sue Kim (Aba)</small></p><p><br/></p><p>The inspiration behind the flavors in the kitchen comes from Chef Jacobson's stay in Israel, when he played professional volleyball there briefly. Although not permanently stationed in Austin, the chef spends a lot of his time in Austin, building new dishes through seasonal produce not found in Chicago. </p><p>Based on the season, Aba will adjust its menu to provide guests with the best seasonal flavors. The latest change was made this week when Aba transitioned to seven new menu items. </p><p>After 30 years in the business, Kim said she still "geeks out over the food" and is always looking forward to eating that perfect bite. She says the hummus is one of her favorites from Jacobson. </p><p>With only its outdoor patio open for dine-in, Kim said it has been heartbreaking not being able to accommodate more guests and she hopes to embrace more people in the future, the way the neighborhood has embraced them.</p><p>"We are taking this (pandemic) very seriously and decided to close (indoor dining), which has been challenging," Kim said. "I want to feed and nurture every soul that comes through our doors, and it's hard when you can't do that. We do the best we can with limited possibilities for walk-in."</p><p><span></span>Since its opening, Aba has been booked up most nights leaving lunchtime to be more accessible to those wanting to try out the restaurant without a reservation. </p><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image">
<img class="rm-shortcode" data-height="920" data-rm-shortcode-id="eb85956e4f2ba797620bc7a13bef3533" data-rm-shortcode-name="rebelmouse-image" data-runner-src="https://assets.rebelmouse.io/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpbWFnZSI6Imh0dHBzOi8vYXNzZXRzLnJibC5tcy8yNTU5ODM1My9vcmlnaW4ucG5nIiwiZXhwaXJlc19hdCI6MTYzOTA2MjQ4NH0.rCUzRQDKLGuRIpK_uXtbHhooU5kkIMjsWygnjxIjjdk/img.png?width=980" data-width="1158" id="902a4" type="lazy-image"/>
<small class="image-media media-caption" placeholder="Add Photo Caption..." spellcheck="false"> Sisters Sunny and Sidney Allison visited Aba earlier this week. (Isabella Lopes)</small></p><p><br/></p><p>In their second visit, Sunny and Sidney Allison stopped by Aba Tuesday for lunch. The two sisters enjoyed the hummus, lamb and altogether Aba experience, they said. "We came last time without a reservation and they were able to fit us in," Sidney Allison said. "We love it here, the food is amazing."</p><p>From the location with a tree in the middle of the patio to the colorful creative dishes on the menu, Aba has made customer experience a top priority. It is what keeps people talking about the restaurant, and its dinner reservations booked several days or even weekends in a row. <br/></p><p>"We focus on three things: great food, great service and attentive style, giving our guests the whole experience," Kim said. "It feels like a little piece of Eden, especially during these turbulent times."</p>
