Editor’s Letter

Viral Sensation

I DON’T THINK I’m alone when I say that the COVID19 pandemic has been one of the strangest periods of my life. Even as national disasters go, the plague’s seemingly unending breadth has made it impossible to register its full emotional impact. A year and a half later, each morning still has a tinge of Groundhog Day… minus the pithy Bill Murray one-liners.

When will we be able to turn off the clock radio playing “I Got You Babe” and look out on a new dawn? With a continued war on vaccine mandates, that remains to be seen. But even with its muddy timeline, I can distinctly remember the unlikely harbinger of the virus’ loitering stateside presence: An Instagram post in March 2020 of Queer Eye hamming it up in front of the El Arroyo sign.

For the rest of the country, it might’ve been Tom Hanks’ COVID diagnosis in Australia that first stands out. But for many in the capital city, it was the Fab Five’s moment of levity before all hell broke loose. Somehow, the dichotomy of their cheeky announcement of an Austin arrival, followed almost immediately by a global shutdown, had a strange lasting impact. And that goes double for everyone on Queer Eye’s cast and crew.

In associate editor Emma Schkloven’s cover story, “Take Five” (p. 44), Tan, Bobby, Antoni, Karamo, and Jonathan discuss the tumultuous circumstances that left them in something of a production purgatory. What to do when stuck in unfamiliar surroundings with no clear sense of direction? For the Fab Five, you adapt. Not only did a majority of the cast stick around and partake of all that Austin has to offer, Van Ness decided to make it his permanent home.

Mere months after the cast considered ending the show, the trials surrounding their season in the capital city actually reinvigorated them. Queer Eye found new purpose in the hope they could inspire. Makeovers weren’t simply window dressing but catharsis amid the cultural trauma. January is always our “Top Doctors” issue—and we’ve certainly got that covered with a list of more than 750 of the industry’s best peer-rated physicians (p. 50)—but it felt equally as important to show how Austinites found healing outside of our tireless medical community. Whether it was through political activism, adopting a new pet, or just reaching out to someone in the throes of isolation, that show of fortitude hasn’t been limited to the stars that walk among us.

At times, it probably seems like the end is no closer than when Queer Eye first posed in front of the El Arroyo sign, but for residents old and new (like Van Ness), they wouldn’t want to brave it anywhere else.

BRING TO LIGHT

There’s an extra bit of capital city joy amid the interior shots of the Fab Five’s West Austin headquarters. Throughout the montages of the cast, fans will spot Antoni Porowski’s Austin-adopted pup, Neon, making herself right at home. “She’s our loft dog,” the food expert says, referencing Queer Eye’s tradition of having a canine in the Fab Five headquarters. Of course, the pittie mix is no stranger to fame at this point, having amassed her own Instagram following of more than 15K since being adopted from the capital city’s very own Austin Pets Alive! She’s also a regular fixture on Porowski’s channel, where she’s even been immortalized in a Warholian painting.

Clutch Move

Fashion is woven into the Falchi family DNA. The daughter of Carlos and Missy, the designers behind famed accessories brand Carlos Falchi, Kate began her career working for the New York–based company. After her father’s untimely death in 2015, she and her mother moved to Austin and Dallas, respectively, and built their own handbag and jewelry brand called Lovard (pronounced luv-urd) in 2018. Made with fabrics like buttery Italian leather and ethically sourced python, the brand’s

sumptuous purses come in a rainbow of hues and feature a signature D-ring on the front, which can be adorned with their clip-on charm designs. The duo named the company after Missy’s great uncle, Lovard, an avowed feminist who lived in Texas.

“We just liked the idea of a strong name with beautiful symmetry, after someone who really believed in powerful women,” Kate says. Browse accessories like the Violin bags (pictured, $395 and up) at shoplovard.com. —Madeline Hollern

Rinse and Repeat

For sustainable skincare brand Luxe Refill, one good turn deserves another. By Madeline Hollern

GROWING UP IN AUSTIN during the early days of Whole Foods, Cristina Guerra could often be found perusing its natural skincare offerings. “I’m an obsessive ingredient label reader,” she says. “I want to know what I’m putting in my body and on my body.” As an adult, she began formulating her own vegan shower oils, body butters, and foot balms. That passion for clean ingredients inspired Guerra to create her own product line, Luxe Refill, in 2017.

Focusing on a zero-waste model, the brand not only sells plant-based beauty items, but it encourages customers to reuse the containers they came in. Once the bottles and jars are empty, they can ship them back to the company to be refilled and returned. The parabenand sulfate-free line features products such as magnesium deodorant, shea butter lotion, and arnica massage oils. Because the containers are reutilized, each vessel is thoroughly sanitized after use, and the formulas include preservatives—but only food-grade varieties that would be safe enough to eat.

This past October, Luxe Refill opened a North Austin storefront, where shoppers can stock up on items from the company and other sustainable brands as well as get their empty containers refilled. The store hosts small classes to teach customers how to DIY everything from face masks to balms, and it also leads sessions on why a zero-waste philosophy is so important. “The City of Austin has an initiative to be 90 percent landfill diverted by 2040, and we are very behind schedule,” Guerra says. “The city is doing as much as they can, but without the residents buying into it, it is a difficult thing.” In a city where two-thirds of residents already do not recycle, she is hoping to change the mindset toward product sustainability. After all, she notes, “reusing is better than recycling.”

WASTE NOT, WANT NOT

What’s inside three of the most successful eco-friendly products at Luxe Refill.

After-Shower Oil

Made with almond and jojoba oils, the brand’s bestselling product functions in many ways, including as a face moisturizer, makeup remover, and cuticle softener.

ROSE Reiki-Infused Spray + Floating Crystals

This fragrant spray by Adé Wellness Infusion turns withered flower petals into a lovely blend of rose hydrosol and rose water.

Wool Mittens

Love Woolies has saved more than 40,000 damaged wool sweaters from entering landfills, creating items like these handmade mittens reminiscent of Bernie Sanders’ meme-worthy gloves.

What to Do in Fort Worth

Chow down on the state’s hottest barbecue, discover an artsy alleyway, and snag a pair of custom Lucchese boots in this cowboy-cool town. By Madeline Hollern

A FAR CRY from its flashier sister city, Dallas, this artsy college town has an unpretentious vibe reminiscent of Old Austin. Known by nicknames like “Cowtown” and “Funky Town,” Fort Worth has received a glow-up in recent years with the opening of new hotels, lauded restaurants, and a stylish redevelopment within its historic Stockyards area. But rest assured: Despite its buzzy new attractions, the city remains as laid-back and welcoming as ever.

STAY

Hang your hat at Hotel Dryce, a former dry ice factory turned boutique hotel located near museums like the Kimbell Art Museum and the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth Opened last summer, the space has cozy burnt-orange robes in the rooms and a stylish jewel-toned lobby slinging cocktails and coffee. Looking to unwind somewhere luxe? Downtown’s new Kimpton Harper features a penthouse lounge on the 24th floor called Refinery 714 with 360-degree city views.

DINE

Fort Worth recently nabbed two spots in the top 10 of Texas Monthly ’s annual “Top 50 Texas BBQ Joints” list. The No. 1 prize went to Goldee’s, where crowds are lining up as early as 4 in the morning to sample its dynamite spareribs, Laotian sausage, and jalapeño cheese grits when doors open at 11 a.m. Fridays through Sundays. (Several of Goldee’s pitmasters cut their teeth at Austin joints like Franklin Barbecue and la Barbecue.) Don’t miss the pork belly burnt ends and brisket elote at

Panther City BBQ, which also cracked Daniel Vaughn’s top 10. Other go-to options include the succulent birria tacos at Tinie’s and the stellar tuna handrolls at Hatsuyuki Handroll Bar

SIP

Head to the hip Foundry District to sample an array of spirits and small-batch craft beer at Blackland Distillery and Maple Branch Craft Brewery, respectively. While there, be sure to explore Inspiration Alley, a tucked-away outdoor art gallery of 60-plus murals located between the two tasting rooms.

EXPLORE

Cowboy up at the Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo (Jan. 14-Feb. 5), an annual event with bull riding, horse shows, and a celebrity goat-milking contest. A trip to Funky Town would not be complete without a visit to the Fort Worth Stockyards While the army outpost has been around since 1849, the historic district features a new Mule Alley redevelopment filled with shops, restaurants, and diversions. Enjoy a juicy burger or chicken-fried steak at chef Marcus Paslay’s Provender Hall and order a libation inside the eye-catching Hotel Drover. The new hotel boasts the country’s first Lucchese Custom Collection boutique, where shoppers can order a bespoke pair of boots.

Sweat Equity

Soothing sound baths. Dance cardio classes. 5Ks centered around tacos. These activities will help you crush your New Year’s fitness goals. By Madeline

Hollern

↑ ATX Yoga Girl sound baths

If savasana (aka corpse pose) is your favorite yoga position, you’ll love these healing sound baths hosted by ATX Yoga Girl founder Cynthia Bernard. During the sessions, guests lie down on mats as Bernard uses instruments like crystal quartz singing bowls, koshi chimes, and shells to “bathe” them in comforting vibrations. The sonic activity is proven to calm the parasympathetic nervous system and relax the mind from an active to a dreamlike state. Sign up for her sound baths this month at Hotel Van Zandt, Carpenter Hotel, and FP Movement Studio. atxyogagirl.com

Popular with celebs like Justin Bieber, David Beckham, and Jake Gyllenhaal, this boot camp–style fitness studio that originated in West Hollywood debuted an Austin iteration downtown last

spring. Get in the zone in its dimly lit “red room” during the signature high-intensity workout, which pairs cardio elements with strength training. Every day has a different theme, from Abs & Ass to Full Body–Upper Focus. Not into running? Opt for the double-floor workout that focuses on weights. Whatever class you pick, the bumping beats will inspire you to push yourself—and torch up to 1,000 calories per sweat session. 524 N. Lamar Blvd., barrys.com

The Peach House Arguably the “it” workout in Austin right now, this brand has developed a devoted following since launching out of founder Caitlin Fennessy’s Clarksville home garage a few years ago. While the glute-based, full-body workouts take place on reformer machines, they go well beyond traditional Pilates: For instance, Fennessy includes a focus on breathwork, movements that correspond with pulsating music, and a tranquilizing savasana at the end. Each session is capped at eight people, so individual attention is assured. In addition to classes at its new South Austin studio, look for The Peach House pop-ups at places like Commodore Perry Estate and FP Movement Studio this year. thepeachhouse.co

Taking a Bao

If the name doesn’t tip you off ( Uchiba translates to “Uchi Bar”), there’s the architecture itself at the forthcoming Block 185 building downtown. When you walk into the latest concept from Hai Hospitality (Uchiko, Loro), chef Kaz Edwards says guests will be greeted by a bar first. Unlike Tyson Cole’s other restaurants—most notably the revered Uchi, which debuted in 2003—Uchiba gives equal billing to cocktails and food. In fact,

Edwards says the “lounge-quality menu” is being developed with that booze-to-bite alchemy in mind. Set to open in early 2022, this second iteration of Uchiba, which originated in Dallas, leans heavily into bar fare like yakitori, bao, and other finger foods. Think of it as an izakaya done the Cole way, where a shot and a skewer consists of rare Suntory whisky and grilled tiger prawns brushed with yuzu kosho butter. Chris Hughes

Through the Cooking Glass

Burnt ends to burned out. Evan LeRoy of LeRoy and Lewis Barbecue became one of the most decorated pitmasters in the state by putting his health first.

WHEN DISCUSSING MY job as a chef and pitmaster, the most common comment I get is: “I don’t know how you spend all day around that food. If I had your job, I’d weigh 500 pounds!”

What those acquaintances and family members often don’t understand is that that offhanded refrain has been one of the biggest struggles of my life. How do I surround myself with all that barbacoa and brisket and alcohol and not spiral down into a Dionysian existence of excess and gluttony? The answer up until recently was, I just don’t. I regularly gave in to multiple heavy meals a day interspersed with snacking and a couple of shift beers. The fog of the next morning would be lifted by too much caffeine and more bad food because I definitely didn’t feel good enough to exercise.

This went on from 2011, when I first began working in barbecue, until late 2019, when I de-

cided to change my approach to food, work, and life. Tipping the scale at over 300 pounds, I was ashamed and uncomfortable in my body. My clothes didn’t fit right, I was constantly lethargic, and I conveniently blamed it on being too busy to focus on my own health.

In September of 2019, I started an Instagram account called @notfatevan, where I began posting workouts and meals to hold myself accountable. What I discovered was that it motivated me to eat better (well, most days) and work out multiple times a week. Other friends in the barbecue industry— many struggling with the same issues and sense of powerlessness—began to message me about how inspiring it was for them. With that type of support and incremental goal setting, I lost 60 pounds in seven months.

People who saw me occasionally would often note the transformation of my body. But the changes to my mental state were more than obvious. I was happier, less quick to anger, and more productive. That boost in patience and energy not only helped me create a healthier working environment for my employees, but it also helped me become a better father to my daughter.

As restaurants emerge from lockdown and the economic strife brought about by COVID-19, most of the positive changes we’re seeing in the hospitality industry are targeted at workers. Better wages, increased benefits, and shortened shifts are all up for discussion as the talent pool has significantly shrunk in its wake.

The number of overtime hours worked in a week used to be a point of pride—now it’s a sure

The industry’s culture of self-sacrifice is being replaced by self-care.

sign someone is about to burn out. The industry’s culture of self-sacrifice is being replaced by self-care. Thousands of chefs, servers, and bussers all abandoned the industry’s destructive practices over the last year and a half, and they may never return. But those who remain are beginning to realize that taking better care of themselves and their staff makes them more adept at taking care of guests as well.

Austin’s hospitality leaders have figured this out and initiated social programs to help themselves and the city’s restaurant community be a more progressive version of itself.

Philip Speer of Comedor and Michael Fojtasek of Olamaie host weekly industry runs to “shift the post shift,” where workers forgo post-shift drinks for a pre-shift 5K. After attending both, I’m now inspired to start my own health-focused social gatherings.

But what may be lost in the messaging to the line cooks of today is that taking care of yourself actually makes you a better chef. Imagine you’ve just opened the hottest new restaurant in town. Would you rather have a cook that came in for a 9 a.m. shift after an early workout and a smoothie? Or a chef that came in hungover with a bag of McDonald’s?

Our industry of excess has swallowed too many lives and 86ed way too many talented hospitality professionals because of overwork. Admittedly, after the pandemic hit, I had a lapse in restraint brought on by that overnight collapse of, well, everything. But that fall, I set a new goal of running the Austin Half Marathon and found a new path on my fitness journey. At the end of the day, it’s up to people like myself and other leaders in the restaurant world to just be better. For our families, staff, guests, and yes, ourselves.

Dry Hard

Taking a break from booze doesn’t have to kill your buzz, with several local nonalcoholic options worthy of a January “happy” hour. By Chris Hughes

KTONIC KOMBUCHA

The Lowdown

A certified organic, singlefermentation kombucha brewed from locally sourced Zhi Tea. The brand regularly partners with high-profile collaborators like Veracruz All Natural on seasonal flavors.

Health Benefits

Like other acidified foods, kombucha has natural probiotics that aid digestion and gut health. But unlike most labels, KTonic doesn’t add fructose, which means less sugar in each bottle.

Upgrade

Make it a mocktail by combining it with your favorite flavored sparkling water, fruit juice, and fresh herbs.

MOONTOWER MATCHA

The Lowdown

A ready-to-drink canned option made from ceremonialgrade, stone-ground matcha out of Japan’s esteemed Aichi Prefecture.

Health Benefits

Not only does it have 10 times more antioxidants than regular green tea, its naturally occurring L-theanine provides a jitter-free caffeine rush.

Upgrade

Add ice, almond milk, and a touch of sweetener for a quick matcha latte.

GIDDY UP COLD COFFEE

The Lowdown Coffee is 98 percent water, which is why Austin Roasting Company uses reverse osmosis H2O to brew its ethically sourced, small-batch roasted beans out of South America and Africa.

Health Benefits

An infusion of nitrogen lends a creaminess and accentuates the coffee’s natural sweetness, so you don’t have to doctor it with milk or sugar. Also, coffee has essential B vitamins.

Upgrade

Cold brew and tonic water is a shockingly easy and delicious nonalcoholic alternative.

KINSHIP MILK TEA

The Lowdown

Strongly brewed loose leaf teas with just a splash of Oatly oat milk and raw cane sugar. Founder Caitlin Cash calls the ratio “a reverse espresso latte.”

Health Benefits

Green teas like Kinship’s oolong are high in polyphenols, which decrease inflammation.

Upgrade

If you are going to cheat, you might as well do it here, as milk tea (plus the requisite vodka and coffee liqueur) makes for a killer White Russian.

Southern Comfort

Amanda Turner had a change of heart when it came to the food of her youth. Now that epiphany is shaking up one of Austin’s best restaurants. By Chris Hughes

EVEN BEFORE she launched her 12-year cooking career, Amanda Turner was defying expectations and battling stereotypes. A shaky economy after graduating from high school had Turner bypassing her acceptance into the Savannah College of Art and Design to earn money as a server at Olive Garden. But when management scoffed at her inquiries into culinary management, she fought back.

“This man told me, ‘You can’t do culinary; you’re a woman, and you don’t speak Spanish,’” Turner says. “I went home and looked up culinary schools that day. He became my revenge tale.”

“I think the idea of the South being a melting pot is up my personal alley.”

If Sinatra was right—that the best revenge is massive success—Turner has been gleefully dishing it out ever since. After ditching her home of Arlington, Texas, for the Le Cordon Bleu school in Austin, she’s risen through some of the best kitchens in the capital city, such as Uchi, Odd Duck, and Juniper. Throughout it all, she’s managed to pursue her own meandering interests: farm-totable, Italian, baking, and, especially, Japanese cuisine. But Turner, who’s biracial, says she’s had to fight bigotry every step of the way.

“If you’re a Black woman, people just expect you to cook Southern food,” she says. “I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been approached about opening a soul food restaurant. Or how many times a colleague has asked me to make them fried chicken at a family meal.”

Perhaps it’s because she has faced that type of prejudice her entire career, or that Turner was more of a suburban kid raised on Rice-A-Roni and Hamburger Helper, that she resisted the category for so long. But then the pandemic struck, and everything changed.

Like so many searching for solace in catastrophic times, Turner turned to the foods that comforted her in her youth: braised cabbage, jambalaya, and other Creole classics that her Louisiana-raised grandmother would make during the holidays. The chef also began exploring what it meant to be African-American, as she delved into the works of Black authors and writers.

It was around that time that Olamaie’s Michael Fojtasek reached out with an unexpected opportunity. Having watched Turner in action at a 2018 South by Southwest dinner he hosted with North Carolina’s Ashley Christensen (Poole’s Diner), Fojtasek had long been anxious to work with her on a full-time basis. But during the pandemic, Olamaie was one of the most deliberate restaurants when it came to the health and safety of its employees, staying closed for a year and a half as they retooled its concept.

When the restaurant finally reopened in November, Fojtasek not only implemented a health-

JESSICA ATTIE

ier work environment—including pay increases for kitchen staff and paid sick leave and vacation time for all employees—he came brandishing a whole new outlook on Southern fare. Despite it being ranked as the No. 1 restaurant in the city by the Austin-American Statesman before shuttering, he acknowledges there were parts of the cuisine that remained untapped—mainly because he didn’t feel comfortable appropriating other cultures. Although it took some convincing, pursuing Turner to become the restaurant’s chef de cuisine helped open up a whole new perspective for Olamaie.

“Because it’s one of the largest hubs for immigration, the South has been one of the first fusion cuisines in the world,” Turner says. “You’re talking about food culture taken from Africa and deposited here in the Americas, and then transformed through the lens of the other cultures around it. I think the idea of the South being a melting pot is up my personal alley. And it’s something Michael wants to explore as well.”

Having created a more extensive menu than ever before, the two are introducing new aspects like fermentation, preservation, and, for the first time ever, grilling. The size of Olamaie’s kitchen has always been a deterrent to the latter, but Turner brought in a konro grill, normally used for Japanese yakitori, to create dishes like a blackened snapper with a South Carolina she-crab sauce. Tapping into Turner’s background at places like Uchiko, they’re delving into more Asian flavors (something predominant along the Gulf Coast), as well as Latin American seafood preparations, like a leche de tigre dish that utilizes buttermilk.

Most importantly, Olamaie is bringing in the kind of diversity that Fojtasek recognized was missing from his award-winning vision. As Turner is quick to point out: That’s not unusual in Austin. In her decadeplus here, she says she’s only worked with three other Black chefs—none of whom were women. But this is a new Olamaie, one where being at the top is only part of the equation. What does it mean to have a “healthy workspace” in the hospitality industry in 2022? We’re soon to find out.

Class Divide

The political lightning rod of critical race theory is leaving a trail of scorched earth at Austin-area school districts.

By John Savage

SSCOLDINGS MAY BE COMMON on school grounds, but the Eanes ISD School Board couldn’t have prepared for the dressing down they received from a parade of irate parents last summer.

“You have opened up a Pandora’s box by allowing pride, trans, and BLM attire and flags to be worn in the schools,” 55-year-old Susan TiptonHines seethed, her voice rising to a bellow as accusations comparing the educational institution to Communist China rolled off her tongue. “You are forcing students who do not agree with your agenda to be silent, compliant.”

Charges of Marxism and the rise of antifa in the West Austin district’s A-rated hallways were hurled at that June meeting, even as the board tried to trumpet the district’s college acceptance rates and robotics state championship. Why? In 2020, Eanes had hired Mark Gooden, a professor at Columbia University’s Teachers College, to serve as a diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) consultant.

RACE-SCHISM

What’s behind the contentious response to critical race theory?

Number of nationwide school board recall efforts in 2021 alone compared to over the last 15 years, acording to The 74. 58% Percentage of Americans nationwide who view CRT unfavorably, per a 2021 The Economist/ YouGov poll.

For over a year, the narrative that schools are force-feeding young minds left-wing racial and gender ideas has found audiences around the country. Texas so bought into the frenzy it became one of six states to enact “anti-critical race theory” legislation, a law some critics say bans honest teachings of America’s race relations.

While the discord has been muted in the Austin Independent School District—which has a robust focus on diversity and inclusion—it has flared in the suburban districts of Eanes and Leander. And with statewide elections on the horizon, Texas GOP politicians are increasingly doubling down on what they see as an election winner.

Critical race theory, a graduate-level academic framework created four decades ago that connects historical patterns of racism to current public policy, has become a conservative buzzword for anything related to diversity, equity, and inclusion, says UT Education Policy Professor Angela Valenzuela.

Republicans opposed teaching the history of racism in schools, according to a Monmouth University Poll.

States passed laws outlawing critical race theory, including Texas.

“CRT isn’t taught in K-12 schools,” she explains, “but it’s being used to whip up fear.”

Indeed, well-funded national conservative groups like The Heritage Foundation and new organizations with deep-money ties to names like Koch have been sowing the seeds of distress around the nation since 2020. That handiwork finally bore fruit: Virginia’s bellwether gubernatorial race rang for an anti-CRT advocate, and an astronomical amount of school board recall efforts (84 vs. the average 28) took place across the country in 2021, nonprofit political encyclopedia Ballotpedia reported.

A focus on diversity and inclusion in curriculums builds empathy, reduces prejudice, and prepares students to work in a diverse world, says Jessica Jolliffe, AISD’s director of humanities. But such efforts played out differently at Eanes, where students who hail from several of the area’s most moneyed neighborhoods have been known to chant “We’re rich. We’re white. We’re Westlake” during games at the district’s lone high school.

After a spate of racially charged complaints, the board hired Gooden, who had previously worked with Austin ISD, in July 2020. Since then, Gooden has conducted needs assessments, offered staff diversity training, and led student focus groups, but Eanes parents have questioned his and the school board’s motives, pointing to Gooden’s scholarly work, which has been rooted in CRT.

A similar battle occurred in Leander ISD, one of the fastest-growing districts in the state. Thirteen books containing sexually explicit content, queer relationships, and racial violence were removed from high school book club lists following parental protests; one mother even made national headlines for brandishing a cotton candy–pink strap-on dildo while reading excerpts during a school board meeting.

Though the incidents seem isolated, experts say it’s part of a pattern coalescing beyond city limits. Suburban parents find it tougher to discuss diversity, explains Southern Methodist University political scientist Cal Jillson, especially when it comes to color. “Psychological studies show that many white people view problems of race as historical and think Blacks today are on an equal footing... These discussions are a threat to the white middle-class sense of self and merit.”

Aware of the schoolyard culture wars, Texas politicians are conjuring the CRT boogeyman more and more. In November, GOP gubernatorial challenger Don Huffines accused the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, which oversees Child Protective Services, of using the concept in its training manuals. Meanwhile, Fort Worth State Rep. Matt Krause, who briefly flirted with a run for state attorney general last fall, generated buzz with his inquiry into nearly 850 Texas public school libraries’ books.

School boards and districts understand the political machinations at play, especially in a midterm year. But some parents can’t see the board, much less fathom they’re part of a larger game. Boos rained down this summer as the Eanes School Board voted unanimously to continue Gooden’s contract.

“Be prepared for a lawsuit,” one parent declared angrily. “We’re not going away.”

Jamie Wheal

Historical Anthropologist and Author

After years of shivering in snow-covered caves and summiting mountains, Jamie Wheal set out to understand why he’d happily catch azure waves or ride frozen powder down steep cliffs but could never get himself to the gym. The concept of flow—that “in the zone” moment where one is so absorbed that they lose track of time— was central to his 2017 bestseller, Stealing Fire, which put Wheal on the map within the biohacking world. Yet barely any mention of the concept appears in his newest book, Recapture the Rapture, which hit shelves last April. Instead, he’s returned to his academic roots, examining what’s brought society to the brink and if there’s any way back. Interview by Emma Schkloven

When it comes to flow, you’ve been called a thought leader. Oh God, that’s puke-inducing. That just feels super-duper pretentious.

How would you describe your work then?

All I’m doing is trying to follow the threads of the questions that either entrance me or baffle me.

In Recapture, you don’t seem like a fan of biohacking, though you rose to fame because of it. Not at all. I shared the stage with Dave Asprey a while ago, and my talk was “Once you become bulletproof, what bullets are you going to step in front of on behalf of whom?” To me, biohacking—which feels like it thankfully got surpassed by paleo and the next flavors of the month—is intensely individualistic and narcissistic. Most of [my link to it] came from the subtitle of Stealing Fire, right? I hated that f***king subtitle. That was forced on us by our editor to make it more marketable.

You’ve moved away from specifically teaching flow these days. What are you focused on?

It’s the notion of how do you move people from the pre-tragic [level of consciousness] to the tragic to the post-tragic? Pre-tragic is everything’s going to work out. You get dragged into the tragic, and it’s like nothing is going to work out. But there is a path out. You look at Mandela, [Martin Luther] King, Gandhi. We’re not teaching you anything until you can be willing to embrace the tragedy of this human experience in a mature form and hold it. We will also share with you joy: the ecstasy; the celebration; the things that make this bearable. But make no mistake. You’re on the hook.

In a nutshell, what’s gone wrong with the world?

The simplest is a global collapse in shared epistemics. We no longer agree that what we’re looking at and describing are both important and the same things. Take the WHO: either they’re an NGO riding to the rescue [during] a global pandemic, or they’re in the tank for dark interests like China and secretly engineering a Communist takeover. We’re on the verge of a collapse in post-enlightenment consensus.

In some respects, this town is literally a ground zero for understanding this clash of cultures. Austin is like the tidal pool smashing and crashing between the ocean and the shore. You’ve got high cultural creative, high progressive street-cred values, and lots of people being drawn from coastal areas, and—at the same time—it’s a sea of libertarian red anti-statism.

Let’s talk about the taboos you suggest we use to find meaning. If everybody was humming along happily right now, it wouldn’t be worth stepping on those rails. But given that we are adrift in both a meaning crisis and diseases of despair, clearly, something’s not going right. The notion of taboos [is] also indicative that they’re powerful and significant. We should not steer away from these things because they have taboos attached. We should use that as a signifier that there’s something powerful underneath each of them.

Recapture hasn’t been as successful as Stealing Fire to this point. Is that frustrating?

I knew when I held Stealing Fire in my hands, it was the most commercial book I was ever going to write because it was the bridge across the river from consensus reality to a realm of heightened possibility. I wasn’t going to write more books crossing the river. I have to write what I think I have to write.

Does it all come back to community? Is that what we need?

For sure. We long for purpose and transcendence. We long for healing and integration, and we long for community and connection. It’s a three-legged stool. If you have community with no transcendence and no healing, you end up with dysfunctional boring group think. If you have peak states with no grounding and community, you end up with megalomania or inflation. And if you have healing with no point, or purpose, or higher ground to aspire to, you just end up stuck in endless personal growth. It’s a trialectic between all three, and that’s what makes the world go round.

Upon arrival, Tesla becomes the city’s third-largest publicly traded company behind only Dell Technologies and fellow Cali transplant Oracle.

The $1.1 billion gigafactory (dubbed Giga Texas) will stretch over 2,100 acres in eastern Travis County.

A SpaceX manufacturing facility could be landing on the other side of SH 130 across from Giga Texas, according to the Austin Business Journal.

A global pandemic could only push pause on the power of Queer Eye, as the personalities behind Netflix’s reality juggernaut dug in and made Austin their own.

BY EMMA SCHKLOVEN

Bright and colorful, like so many of Jonathan Van Ness’ Instagram account offerings, his new video on March 18, 2020, hinted at a fresh kind of experience. A partition with thick vertical rainbow stripes set inside a decidedly old-fashioned-looking cardboard TV was balanced unmistakably on a cat scratcher.

The panel lifted to reveal the Queer Eye hair guru’s white-and-gray feline, Harry Larry, within the monitor. “Me and my three cat friends are gonna bring you all the news and entertainment you can handle over the next few weeks,” Van Ness drawls in his eldest cat’s thick Southern twang.

During these “mews” segments over the ensuing two months—which would feature a calico international news correspondent with a fluctuating Australian accent, cat-napping anchors, and a weatherman randomly jumping into frame—fans would learn how the rest of the world was faring against COVID… and that even celebrity cats can’t be bribed to sit attentively on command. “People really want us to bring that back,” Van Ness says over a year later from his capital city abode. “But Larry was part of the Great Resignation of 2021. He told me he was getting a little burnt out.”

Of course, the pandemic and its effects on Van Ness and the rest of the Fab Five would last long past any feline-centric comedy bits. No one could

have guessed their much-hyped Lone Star adventure would meet a 13-month hiatus a mere week into shooting, or that three of the cast members would spend part of their quarantines in Austin.

By the time season six of the Emmy-winning Netflix show finally premiered on New Year’s Eve 2021, Van Ness had relocated for good. Because like so many initial skeptics, what the cast ultimately discovered was that Austin has a way of working itself into your soul.



In March 2020, an Instagram post of the El Arroyo sign made even greater internet waves than usual. Perched in front of it, with the message “The Most Fabulous Thing In Texas Since Chaps,” sat the Queer Eye cast mugging for the camera. For months, rumors had swirled that the Fab Five was heading to the Lone Star State, and now, here was the almighty confirmation.

“We’d been in the South, we’d been in the Midwest,” says executive producer Jennifer Lane, who’d spent much of her formative years in Oak Hill before graduating from UT’s film department. “I was a huge cheerleader [for Austin] because I know the complexities and the layers of Texas, in particular, in Austin.”

The pandemic still seemed an ocean away and only an abstract concept when production began on March 9 of that year. But that facade began to crack midweek as hand sanitizer became a staple among veteran crew members, and the cast was advised to sequester themselves in the shared trailer or group car during lunch breaks—a physical separation from the rest of production that stood in stark contrast to previous seasons.

“Our director, Hisham [Abed], he’s someone I would talk to all the time, have lunch with,” recalls culture expert Karamo Brown. “He was like, ‘I can’t hug you.’”

A trip to the local grocery store later that week brought a creeping sense of dread to the forefront. Everyone’s favorite silver-haired fashionista, Tan France, recalls ransacked shelves and pandemonium as shoppers ran up and down the aisles at H-E-B (which the Brit prefers to mash into one syllable as enunciating each letter “takes too long”), grabbing whatever remained. The show’s resident foodie, Antoni Porowski, remembers the surprising meal choices of microwavable butter chicken and chicken tikka masala his boyfriend brought back from a Trader Joe’s run.

With new social-distancing and hand-sanitizing rules in place, Queer Eye carried on, filming most of its season opener, “Showdown at the Broken Spoke,” featuring two-step instructor Terri White, daughter of the late James White. All they had left was the traditional finale—where the Fab Five watches as their hero, newly minted with a fresh

outlook on life and an upgraded look to boot, reenters the world with aplomb amid a packed event and a waterfall of happy tears.

But the full magnitude of the moment arrived on Friday as the team spread out outdoors to wish Porowski a happy birthday ahead of his special day on March 14. “It was this weird moment with the whole crew outside, separating,” recalls Lane. “The tone had changed at that point. COVID had hit.”

Still, everyone hoped they had a bit more time, if nothing else, to at least finish that initial episode. As they hugged White goodbye, none of the cast realized they were also saying farewell to the production and, for many of them, to each other for almost a year.

Five days after the cameras started rolling, production halted. Brown and France flew back to California, the latter soon continuing a nine-hour drive to his home in Utah. Van Ness, Porowski, and the show’s fixer-upper extraordinaire, Bobby Berk, holed up in Austin, waiting for filming to resume. “They said, ‘I think we’ll be down for two weeks maximum,’” France remembers. “It wasn’t emotional. I just thought, ‘I haven’t had two weeks off in years.’”



One week became two. Then a month.

Every couple of weeks, the Fab Five would receive an email promising a ramp-up in production and a request to stay available—as if anyone had anywhere to go. In between, they messaged back and forth on their group chat, a common occurrence for the close quintet who often spam each other with the latest GIF taking the internet by storm, much to the chagrin of France.

Deciding to make full use of the Bouldin Creek house he’d rented, the Houston-born Berk, who spent his summers visiting family in Brazoria County even after moving to Missouri, tapped into those wide-open roots, enjoying long hikes along

the Greenbelt and refreshing dips in the river. Evenings culminated with relaxing strolls around the neighborhood with his husband, Dewey Do, during which time Berk would peruse the mishmash of 1920s bungalows, colonials, and container homes. A little over a month later, they headed back to sunny LA to escape the capital city’s creeping humidity index.

Porowski’s Austin stay lasted a bit longer. Mere days into quarantine, he and boyfriend Kevin Harrington took the four-minute walk from their rented Market District apartment to Austin Pets Alive! and picked up a furry friend—not a corgi like the ones Porowski had always gushed over, but a pit-beagle mix named Neon. “She ran into this meeting cage area, immediately licked both our faces, and was just running in circles like a maniac,” he says. “We decided that was the dog for us.”

In between harnessing local app Vinder to get his farmer’s market on, Porowski launched a social media cooking show, Show Me What You’re Working With, which helps viewers get creative with the food they’d scrounged up during grocery runs. Following George Floyd’s murder in May, they headed back to New York to join friends protesting as part of the Black Lives Matter movement.

Porowski didn’t leave empty-handed, though. Eight jars of Suerte’s garlicky black magic oil—a perfect egg-topper, the home cook swears—also made the 25-hour trip in the trunk of his car. “I have a jar and a half left, and I’m starting to panic,” Porowski admitted this October. “I think I’ll have to come back to Austin and pick some more up soon.”



For Van Ness, it felt like he’d just found a rental that would accept all four of his felines when the world came to a screeching halt. They weren’t repacking and heading back out of town after all that. Unlike so many who used the time to slow down, Queer Eye ’s rainbow firecracker of energy didn’t stop creating simply because he’d found himself waylaid in Austin. Before long, the self-care advocate’s podcast, Getting Curious with Jonathan Van Ness, began featuring a host of UT experts, and CATV arrived to save the public’s doomscrolling.

It wasn’t all cups of Joe spiked with Central Market coffee creamer, sunlit backyard gymnastics, and running into Brené Brown during random hikes (yes, that really happened, Van Ness effervesces).

As an individual living with HIV, a chronic disease that attacks the body’s immune system when uncontrolled by medication, the unknowns surrounding COVID brought a heightened terror to everyday situations. Grocery store runs transformed into a military-like 15-minute exercise. Once home, sacks of food were disinfected in the garage as clothes entered the laundry. Only after a shower would the groceries cross over the threshold.

“I was literally like Clorox, water, spraying the outside of the cereal boxes,” says Van Ness. “We did that through August.”

Fortunately, he wasn’t putting the melting ice cream away alone. Unbeknownst to fans, Van Ness’ beau, Mark Peacock, had followed when filming began in March and stayed by his side the entire time. The scenic sunsets over the Hill Country from Van Ness’ picturesque Lake Travis rental helped win him over, and before he knew it, the non-binary host had bought a permanent place within proximity of Lupe Tortilla, which had become something of a binge obsession. Before they were done, the couple would add another feline, two dogs (one from APA! and one from Leander-based Safe in Austin, which appears in the new season), and four chickens to the mix.

As science caught up with the virus, Van Ness has been able to focus less on the fear of COVID and more on his role as a new Austinite. He’s curated a show at West Chelsea Contemporary, performed standup at Moody Theater, and fallen in love with Mozart’s Coffee Roasters.

Plus, he’s already bringing his well-known activism to the city’s progressive groundswell. He lives here, after all, and there’s work to be done with Texas’ recent transgender sports and abortion bans. “I’m already so up behind these scenes, you don’t know how up behind the scenes I am,” says Van Ness, who previously campaigned for Elizabeth Warren during her short-lived presidential run. “I’m hoping we can make some progress at midterms.”

Fittingly, when Queer Eye announced its Austin return a year later, it returned to the corner of Fifth and Campbell Streets, the famous El Arroyo marquee at its stars’ backs. More rested but, perhaps, also wearier, the cast stood with a slight reserve to their faces (save for the ever-emotive Berk), a pan-

demic-forged twist on Friday Night Lights ’ most quotable line on the sign: “Queer eyes[,] Full Hearts[,] Can’t Lose."

By the time the Fab Five reunited, everything (and yet nothing) had changed. Brown, engaged when he left, returned to the set single. Van Ness stealthily married in a secret backyard ceremony as their families watched through FaceTime the summer before. France and his husband, Rob, meanwhile, were expecting their first child via surrogacy; the baby boy would arrive less than two weeks after the season wrapped in late June. “I just missed them,” says Porowski.

COVID tests were now taken on the daily, while the crew, who took tests three times a week, doubled up on face masks and other protective layers, creating a kind of bubble around the set. This time around, weekly production meetings took place in those now oh-so-familiar Zoom boxes. Meals arrived in individually wrapped portions instead of the usual communal craft service–style buffet. Still separated from the crew, the Fab Five spent most of their time cooped up in their trailer, where Brown (who’d discovered the joys of Gen Z social media platforms during his quarantine) spent inordinate amounts of time bombarding his castmates into appearing in his TikToks. “Like, would you sit down?” Berk later quips. “Stop shaking our trailer with your TikTok dance practicing.”

That didn’t mean the virus stayed away completely. The show faced a false positive, during which time filming shut down as the crew quarantined for a week. COVID also creeps into the episodes themselves through scenic shots of shockingly empty streets alongside iconic landmarks like UT’s Littlefield Fountain, Pennybacker Bridge, and the graffiti-painted train trestle over Lady Bird Lake.

Even before pre-production resumed in April, Lane and her team faced the challenge of recasting their heroes. Previously, the episode meant to follow season six’s trip to the famed Broken Spoke honky tonk was going to involve a UT fraternity during Rush Week. That story, along with so many others, was lost to the pandemic.

Instead, they started fresh, and the results bring a new level of depth to the feel-good reality show. Whether because of the pandemic-induced headspace or simply because of the social and political upheaval that brought health-related, racial, and gender issues to bear in its wake, Queer Eye’s new episodes highlight the idea of community in a different way than seasons past. They allow the individual stories of its heroes to shed light on various overarching hardships and the underappreciated moments of fortitude that exist within these systemic issues.

Through the prom committee of Navarro Early College High School, a Latino-majority high school in North Austin, viewers learn that many of the students work part-time jobs after school to help

support their families. In the journey of Dr. Jereka Thomas-Hockaday, who first started a nonprofit medical training program for students of color and subsequently launched a low-income COVID clinic in East Austin, viewers get a glimpse into the representation and access barriers in health care—a disparity made even clearer since the clinic lost its city funding in September. As of press time in late November, it was still fighting for survival.

These stories, though heavy at moments, speak more clearly to our current zeitgeist than ever before. Hope has always been the group’s unofficial sixth member, the rouge painted onto the cheeks of every guest who walks through the Fab Five’s headquarters. That feeling runs deeper this season, pulsing in the background like a heartbeat. Perhaps it’s a natural consequence of collectively surviving such a harrowing year. Or maybe the Fab Five’s presence is exactly what Austin required to help awaken it from its pandemic-induced slumber. It was also what the cast needed to renew their sense of purpose.

Hope has always been the group’s unofficial sixth member, the rouge painted onto the cheeks of every guest who walks through the Fab Five’s headquarters.

“For the first time in a couple of years, I was reminded of what hope our show brings,” France says. “It’s definitely back.”

Many of the beloved experts admit that, after season five in Philadelphia, they’d been prepared to walk away from the Netflix juggernaut that brought them fame, fortune, and, most recently, LEGOized versions of themselves. The unexpected hiatus allowed the stars to regroup, reconnect, and refill their emotional coffers. Now, they want another go at fixing the world, one makeover at the time. “I distinctly remember on the last day telling Jen, ‘We’re not done,’” France adds. “‘We’ve got so much more to do.’” But before they touch down and wave their rainbow glitter over another city, they’re ready for fans to finally enjoy their Austin excursion. And Van Ness? Clearly, he found something special in these rolling hills too. “If you’d told me in December of 2019 I was going to move to Texas in three months, I would have totally not seen it coming,” he says, “but the community here is so beautiful. I really love Austin.”

How the List is Made

Using an online survey, Austin Monthly solicited peer nominations from physicians in Travis, Hays, and Williamson counties, asking them to nominate up to three doctors per practice area who they would trust with the medical care of themselves or their family. To ensure the nomination process is peer-based, full contact information was requested before nominating, and doctors were asked to limit their nominations to physicians whose work they’ve personally witnessed. Austin Monthly then tallied the results, selecting the top percentage of vote recipients in each practice area before submitting the final list to our fact-checking process, which includes a review of good standing among medical boards.

Doctors do not and cannot pay to be a part of the list. We recognize that many good doctors are not included on the list; this is only a sampling of a huge array of talented professionals within the region. We encourage all consumers to do their own research before selecting a doctor.

Austin Monthly uses best practices and exercises great care in assembling content for this list. It does not warrant that the data contained within the list are complete or accurate. Austin Monthly does not assume, and hereby disclaims, any liability to any person for any loss or damage caused by errors or omissions herein, whether such errors or omissions result from negligence, accident, or any other cause.

All Together Now

Zilker Park was once like Whoville, where thousands gathered to take part in group sing-a-longs. By

ON A BALMY JUNE EVENING in 1937, Rev. Dan Grieder of Austin’s First Presbyterian Church stepped onto a platform suspended above Barton Springs, and, with lyrics projected onto a nearby screen, led thousands in a mass sing-a-long. Sponsored by the Austin Recreation Department to encourage unity and civic engagement, the summer event attracted over 2,500 Austinites each week— although most came for more than just karaoke.

Local talent acts became popular, and each Thursday a new lineup of amateur performers took to the spotlight. Throughout the ’40s, there were poetry readings and tap dances, quizzes, and magic tricks. C. A. Schutze brought his collection of reptiles to show off, while Walkin’ Brownie, a dress-wearing terrier, famously strolled across the stage on its hind legs and drank Coca-Cola straight from the bottle.

Rosie Ninesling

Throughout the ’50s and ’60s, long lines formed as local performers waited to audition for the newly renamed Zilker Hillside Theater Starlight Revue, which continued to take place on Thursdays and culminated with community singing.

Then the tumultuous 1970s approached. Attendance for the sing-songs began to dwindle as new weekly programs at Zilker formed, including Monday-Mondays, which featured slick rock ‘n’ roll bands that attracted swarms of teens. With Austin hungry for a new sound, the Starlight Revue was soon replaced altogether.

And yet, the goal of the program never faltered: The city’s intent was always to bring together locals by way of entertainment, catering to their collective interests. “Everybody loves to sing,” wrote the Statesman in 1938. “And since the citizens like it—they shall have it.”
