The new concepts bring a range of flavors and styles to the downtown food hub, featuring bites from flame-seared sushi to gourmet burgers.
Aburi Oshi brings flame-seared sushi to Fareground
Aburi Oshi Sushi, situated at the Ellis bar, introduces Austin to the Japanese technique of flame-seared sushi. The concept is helmed by Seigo Nakamura, whose restaurant group boasts Michelin-starred Aburi Hana in Toronto and Michelin-recommended Miku in Vancouver.
Aburi Oshi Sushi blends traditional sushi preparation with signature sauces and flame-searing methods. The menu features Aburi Oshi Sushi with various fish options, as well as California Rolls, Hamachi Nachos, and Temaki.

Video of new Texas Tech System chancellor home at historic Lubbock property
The Texas Tech System is acquiring the historic Tudor Revival ‘English Home’ in Lubbock to serve as the new chancellor’s residence.
Money and rankings don’t make a great university. Providing opportunities for disadvantaged students and protecting academic freedom, however, do.
Case in point: Michael and Susan Dell recently surpassed $1 billion in giving to the University of Texas at Austin, launching a plan to build a new medical center and advanced research campus in north Austin.
To be sure, this is a magnanimous gift that will fund important initiatives. While enormously grateful for this contribution, I am disappointed that this gift was not accompanied with a strong message from Michael Dell admonishing the University for gutting DEI and infringing upon academic freedom.
As a colleague of mine astutely observed: “Good luck recruiting doctors and med students. The attacks on DEI and political climates will mean a lot more than rankings and money long-term.”
UT System Board of Regents Chairman Kevin Eltife, referencing the Dell gift, is right: “We are transforming this site into a new campus the world has never seen before.” Yes, never seen, but in a very negative and dangerous way!
Last week, I received a message from the Texas Exes: “This is your last chance to show your support during 40 Hours for the Forty Acres, UT Austin’s Texas-sized fundraising event. Can we count on you?”
My answer: “No, absolutely not. I won’t give one dime to a university that no longer is committed to diversity and preserving academic freedom.”
Having proudly taught at UT for 41 years, I am sad to say this.
