GM Steakhouse Is Not Gone Forever
RECEIVED Thu., Jan. 5, 2006
Dear Editor,
I just read Virginia Wood's article on my dad's restaurant, the GM Steakhouse [“Food-o-File,” Food, Dec. 30]. It's true that my father, Gus, has decided to hang up his spatula and turn west toward his sunset, but it doesn't mean the GM is gone forever. I have decided to keep the spot going and negotiated a lease with the owner of the property to reopen the classic diner that many "true" Austinites have grown accustomed to. There will be some remodeling for the next few weeks to regain that old GM charm and, unfortunately for Gus, no smoking. I look forward to serving up good food to all the "regulars" and newbies in the coming years.
