“Towards the fall we do wild game once a week,” said Chen. “From elk to boar to kangaroo, ostrich, rabbits. We just try to come up with something that people won’t be able to get anywhere else.”

Chen said that the restaurant draws in guests from as far as Columbus, Pittsburgh and Charleston.

The ABR Roadshow is scheduled to film at Austyn’s Restaurant from 2 to 5 p.m. August 1 with the premiere date announced on ABR’s Facebook page.
