Stiles Switch BBQ to Replace Z’Tejas in Kyle
Stiles Switch BBQ, an Austin-based barbecue restaurant known for its Texas-style smoked meats, is preparing to open a new location in Kyle at 18920 S I-35 Frontage Rd. The restaurant has signed a lease for the former Z’Tejas space, which closed in June 2025, according to the Austin Business Journal. Landlord and former Z’Tejas owner Randy Cohen confirmed the agreement, and Stiles Switch can take over the property in January 2027. Renovations are estimated to cost approximately $500,000, with work scheduled to begin next month and completion targeted for mid-February 2027, according to a Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation filing. An opening date has not yet been announced.

‘Teen Mom’ Star Farrah Abraham (Badly) Loses Her Bid for Austin City Council; Sets Sights on 2028 Mayoral Run
Farrah Abraham’s bid for Austin City Council has come to an end, though the former ‘Teen Mom’ star warns claims she’s not done pursuing a career in politics just yet. KUT News reported on Wednesday that Farrah finished fourth in the four-way race for Austin City Council District 5, earning just over 10 percent of votes (about 3,565). Candidate Liz Brink finished ahead of Farrah with 16 percent (5,674 votes), while David Weinberg had 26.18 percent (9,283)– enough to put him in the December 12 runoff against incumbent Ryan Alter, a Harvard-educated attorney who received 47.77 percent of votes (16,941).
