Austin Restaurateur To Open New Sports Concept, Draft Pick, February 2011 in Central Austin

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
texas-wide, Texas, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) January 5, 2011 --

Draft Pick is located on the ground floor of the new AMLI South Shore multi-use development on East Riverside Drive and South Lakeshore Boulevard in Central Austin, and will cater to college students, young professionals, downtown dwellers as well as the abundant sports enthusiast, offering a comfortable and casual atmosphere with a vast beer selection and a menu packed with homemade staples and comfort foods, including: lasagna, chicken fried steak, burgers, subs and salads. Draft Pick will also feature Austin's largest high definition sports viewing screen, which will serve multiple purposes such as highlighting televised sporting events and provide presentation capability for corporate and private parties.

Providing the ultimate game-watching experience influenced the conceptualization and design of Draft Pick interior; however, food and drink are equally important to the owner. "The Draft Pick menu is as diverse as Austin is, and offers something tasty for everyone at a reasonable price. Additionally, we'll have over 30 beers on tap, a variety of wines by the glass and bar packed with spirits." Touting a menu filled with homemade staples and comfort foods, "Mo" hopes to attract neighborhood regulars and individuals throughout the city who also crave the ultimate game-watching experience. "Austin is a very active community - people here watch sports and participate in many, so having the opportunity to open an establishment, which reflects the personality of the city was an obvious choice," explains Belkacem.

Draft Pick offers guests free covered parking 24-7, a vast beer selection and full bar, an affordable and delicious menu packed with homemade staples and comfort foods, and Austin's largest high definition sports viewing screen, plus complementary Wi-Fi and a sporty and comfortable atmosphere for all to enjoy. Conveniently located minutes from downtown, Draft Pick will open in late February 2011, and host a huge March Madness event March 17-18, highlighting every televised game on the first two days of the tournament.

About the Baldirama Restaurant Group

The Baldirama Restaurant Group's first concept, the original Texican Cafe on Manchaca Road, began serving hungry Austinites in south Austin in 1988. Seven years later, they opened their second concept, Cafe 1626, a family-oriented south Austin eatery. Before too long, the "North Austin Renaissance" began and the Texican Cafe responded by adding its second Texican Cafe location near Lakeline Mall. A few years later, the Texican added a third location in Brodie Oaks but did so with a twist! The Texican Cafe took their love for Tex-Mex cuisine and combined it with Austin's love for sports, and created the Texican Sports Cantina. In Feburary 2011, the Baldirama Restaurant Group will add their fifth restaurant to the family, the Draft Pick, a sports restaurant in central Austin, which caters to college students, young professionals and downtown dwellers, offering a comfortable, casual atmosphere with a vast beer selection, a full menu and the largest high definition sports screen in Austin.
