The Hightower Coming to East 7th; Crabbie's Ginger Beer at Fado; Uchi Needs Dishwashers

EAST SEVENTH — Statesman's Matthew Odam has the scoop on The Hightower, a casual new American restaurant forthcoming from the former chef and GM of El Arbol. The projected menu will be relatively short with "affordable price points." Karibu Ethiopian Restaurant previously occupied the space. [Statesman]

DOWNTOWN — Scottish alcoholic ginger beer Crabbie's is premiering at Fado tonight at 8PM, with free samples to the first fifty ginger lovers. Only recently available in the US, the brew has finally made it to Texas. The Chronicle has the lowdown on their weird, wonderful branding. [Chronicle]

SOLA — Want a start at Uchi? They're hiring evening dishwashers. [Poached]
