TACO PETITIONS — Do you wish Torchy's would have late night hours? Austinite Ryan Satterfield has created a change.org petition to urge Torchy's to extend their weekend hours until 2 a.m., especially at their drive-thru at Spicewood Springs. [Reddit]

CHEF WIRE — Texas Monthly interviews both Bryce Gilmore and Jodi Elliott in advance of their Food & Wine appearances. Gilmore talks collaborating with father Jack both at the festival's fire pits and in a mostly-theoretical future restaurant, and Jodi Elliott shares a few more details about her forthcoming dessert bar, Bribery.
