ABOUT CHEF CHASE REID

Chef Chase Reid comes from humble beginnings. His love of cooking began early while helping his mother, and Memaw prepare family dinners. He became an apprentice training under Chef Steve and Rick Madrigal at the Amarillo Club. A career blossomed later as he perfected cooking techniques, opened a catering business, explored Southern cuisine, and honed butchering skills. Along the way, he gained an appreciation for farm-to-table fare and giving back to the local community.

Chef Chase's most recent experience came at The Historic Hill House and Farm in Willis, TX, a boutique hotel and fine dining restaurant in a 150-year-old reclaimed barn. There he created a dining program focused on modern Southern cuisine using ingredients from local farms and ranches. Now he is turning his focus toward the his true passion craft beer and food at Saint Arnold Brewery and Beer Garden.

ABOUT THE 1905 CHARLES MARSCHNER BUILDING-TEXAS BOTTLING WORKS

German immigrant Charles F. Marschner, and his wife, Marie, hired brick contractor Otto Haas in 1905 to build this two-story building for both their residence and business, the Texas Bottling Works. This commercial building is outside of the Strand Mechanic Historic District but is significant for its decorative brick work and a stepped parapet wall. Recent owners restored the building in 1989 and continue to occupy it as a mixed-use building. The Texas Historical Commission designated it as a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark in 1996.
