New Brunch Spot By Local Restaurateurs Coming to Town

According to recent reporting in Austin Community Impact, Jack Gilmore and Tom Kamm of Jack Allen’s Kitchen and Salt Traders Coastal Cooking, will soon be debuting a new breakfast and brunch concept, Day Maker Half Day Cafe.

“We base our businesses on the relationships we have with our guests,” Kamm said in a statement. “We’re known for our high standard of hospitality and getting people’s favorite dishes out on the table at Jack’s and at Salt Traders. Day Maker will continue this tradition with a new take on breakfast and lunch.”

The menu will reportedly feature “traditional brunch items, like eggs benedict and omelets, while also catering to the fun-loving Austin ambiance with a hangover-slaying Breakfast Burger and Big Belly Pastrami Sandwich.”

“I want every bite to bring a smile to our guests’ faces,” said executive chef Forrest Briwa, who previously worked at Salt Traders and Jack Allen’s.

When it opens, The Day Maker will run daily from 7 a.m.-3 p.m. with a walk-up coffee bar as well as full-service cocktail bar, something “quintessential” to the Austin vibe, according to the news release from the company.
