After a devastating fire on opening night in December 2018, Kindling Texas Kitchen is returning to to 209 N. Main St. in Cibolo on May 11. Run by husband-and-wife chefs Justin and Gwyndolyn Hammerson, the eatery focuses on heritage Texas cuisine made with locally sourced ingredients. A menu posted on the restaurant’s Facebook page on May 24 shows a diverse mix of cultural influences from Texas Hill Country game to Mexican chiles rellenos.

A new concept called Shotgun Seltzer is coming to 415 Burnet St., according to a filing with the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission.

CultureMap has reached out for more information.
