We're excited and proud to announce that MML Hospi

We're excited and proud to announce that MML Hospitality is continuing the legacy of Word of Mouth Catering, an Austin-born hospitality company founded in 1985 and developed by Leslie Moore. Word of Mouth has set the standard in catering for over 30 years, and we are proud to continue that tradition in a new and dynamic way.

This summer, Word of Mouth will transition and rebrand to Word of Mouth Fine Catering with an official re-launch in Fall 2023.

Word of Mouth Fine Catering will continue to service corporate events, in-store events, social gatherings, galas and weddings, and in-home chef dinners. The style of service options will cater exactly to your needs—including, but not limited to, passed hors d’oeuvres, cocktail receptions, family-style, plated experiences, buffet, drop-off, custom cakes, full bar and craft cocktails, the option of MML family of restaurants inspired menus, and beyond.

Got a big event coming up? Let us help. Please visit us at wordofmouthcatering.com

For the full story on the new Word of Mouth, hit the link in bio to the Austin American Statesman article.

Q: One thing you always have in your fridge?

Just when you thought the music festival scene cou

Just when you thought the music festival scene couldn’t get any more dynamic in Austin, along comes Antone’s Blues Festival at Waterloo Park.

On Saturday, April 29, our friends at Antone's and Waterloo Greenway are presenting the inaugural Blues Festival at Moody Amphitheater at Waterloo Park!

A little bit of backstory: In 1999, Clifford Antone hosted the first-ever Antone’s Blues Festival at Waterloo Park as a way to showcase some of his favorite artists who were too large to play at his namesake downtown venue—the festival hosted the likes of Buddy Guy, John Lee Hooker, and Ray Charles during its three-year run.

Now, more than two decades later, Antone’s and Waterloo Greenway are joining forces to bring blues back to Waterloo Park with an incredible lineup including BLKS ODYSSY, Adrian Quesada’s Jaguar Sound, Booker T’s Stax Revue (with guest Jimmie Vaughan), Los Lobos, plus many more.

And what would a blues festival be without some good barbecue? Lamberts, MML’s first restaurant, will be there serving up some favorites including Chopped Beef Frito Pie and Pulled Pork Tacos.

Check out the link in bio for full festival lineup and to purchase tickets. We’ll see you there.

MML Hospitality is excited to announce the newest

MML Hospitality is excited to announce the newest version of Bad Boy Cider, our collaboration with our friends at @shacksbury.

Bad Boy, which we made in memory of our friend and colleague, Steven Allen Ridge, is a full bodied, kinda dry cider with baked apple, melon, and strawberry notes. It pairs well with just about any food which is why, beginning on Monday, April 24, it will be available at all MML restaurants.

And to kick off the new release, we’ll be previewing it at this week’s Pecan on the Lawn over at Pecan Square Café from 4-7 p.m. Come on out, grab some grass, order a pizza, and sample some complimentary Bad Boy Cider.
