Luke's Inside Out

One of the most important elements of Austin's trailer boom was that it gave many old-school chefs an opportunity to flex their culinary muscles on their own terms. Luke's evolved from a culinary biz that serviced venues like ACL Live, bringing a seasoned chef-centric approach to otherwise stoner-ish sandwiches. The burger is one of the girthiest in town, and the Korean BBQ rabbit might be Austin's most creative hare-brained dish. But give equal consideration to the daily specials, which range from smoked brisket arepas to pork chop sticks.
