Changes in Austin�s dynamic restaurant scene happen at break-neck speed these days. We�ve seen a couple of dozen new eateries open since many of you visited our city for the Austin City Limits Festival last fall. You�ll find reviews for a number of tasty new spots at austinchronicle.com/food/reviews (see a few listed below). And just in time for this year�s ACL, contributing writers Kate Thorn�berry, Gracie Salem, Kenny Pailes, and Melanie Haupt helped me gather the inside scoop on some of Austin�s newest casual dining spots. � Virginia B.
