In Memoriam
Fri., Oct. 20, 2006
Former Austin chef Ron Brannon, 41, was killed in a car crash in Asheville, N.C., on Oct. 7. A longtime fixture on the local dining scene, Brannon worked at the Backyard, Hudson's on the Bend, Central Market, Ciola's Italian-American Restaurant, and Tuscany Cafe & Wine Bar. He relocated to North Carolina two years ago to open an upscale rib joint, 12 Bones Smokehouse, with a friend. We extend our condolences to Ron's family and friends who gathered for a memorial service at the Central Baptist Church in Round Rock last Saturday.
