These includes items like a take of chili cheese hot dogs in ravioli form; her signature elk tenderloin with carrots, blueberry compote, and parsnip puree; charcuterie boards, and tres leches.

Grace moved to Austin last fall and had been looking to open a restaurant, which is when she got connected with the team behind This Too Shall Pass
Both Nosh and This Too Shall Pass are run by the Method Three Hospitality group, which also operates event space the Venue, Irish bar the Pub, and the Cedar Street Courtyard. This Too opened in February.
