 Last night I had a chance to check out the talent of Lakeway Resort and Spa’s new chef, Jeff Axline. (Yes – it’s a long drive west, but it’s a great place to see the sunset, and now, have some delicious food as well.) Before coming to Austin, Axline made his mark in the Houston restaurant scene where he helped launch The Glass Wall Restaurant in 2006 and then joined The Houstonian Hotel, Club & Spa as Executive Sous Chef in 2008. Axline won Up-and-Coming Chef of the Year at the My Table Magazine 2008 Houston Culinary Awards before bringing his culinary talents to the Texas Hill Country.
