The Texas Foodie Spring 2020 | Page 19

Owners Joe Hessley and R.J. Flowers “We went through collectively and came up with the absolute favorites. We wanted to share these with others and let people come in with their family and enjoy them like we would.” “It is a great opportunity to have a nice dining experience,” Hessley said. The gourmet market offers some of the items used to prepare their food, so diners can take a piece of H&F Family Table & Market home with them to their own tables. Items go through an extensive evaluation process. They try to look for local Texas vendors and support the local Farmer’s Market. “We look to see how we can incorporate local vendors, we really try to use what is available locally to make this place hum,” Hessley said. One of the highlights they mention is meeting so many great people. Customers come in and tell them of other local offerings such as their local honey and egg suppliers. Jobs are also offered locally where the company has 20 local employees and are about to hire eight more. Hessley and Flowers are proud to impact the community in a positive way and the young people they come in contact with. “We have created some culture and the community has embraced that, the town quickly embraced us and continue to. We are incredibly grateful to the support we have received from the entire Cedar Creek Lake Area,” Flowers said. Visit www.hffamilytable.com for more information. T HE T EX AS F O O D I E 19
