The restaurant, helmed by chef Kevin Fink, specializes in using heirloom ingredients in its dishes, such as freshly milled grains to make pastas and noodles. For the first time, the restaurant is selling dried versions of three of these pastas in Whole Foods Markets in Austin, San Antonio and Dallas.

The type of flour appears in the product name: Blue Beard Durum Spaghetti, Egyptian Emmer Rigatoni and Rouge de Bordeaux Strozzapreti.
