Todd Duplechan and wife Jessica Maher met while honing their cooking skills in NYC. Todd is a native Texan, raised in the Dallas area by Cajun and German-American parents. Jess is a native of New Jersey, raised in Northern Nevada by parents with strong Irish and Spanish roots. Both of their families taught them to grow food and to cook it thoughtfully as a gift to the people they love. Both were drawn to restaurants and cooking as a means to travel and learn as much about cooking and food culture as possible. And both felt there was no better home than Austin, TX for a farm-to-table, mom-and-pop restaurant to share all of their experiences with others. At Lenoir, Todd and Jess work side-by-side on all matters that pertain to the restaurant, along with a talented, thoughtful kitchen and service staff, without whom this small business would not exist. Restaurants are really people businesses, above all, and Lenoir exists to serve a community with good food, drink, friendliness and humor. Todd is an avid outdoorsy guy. He loves hiking, camping and fishing with his family. He loves tinkering with old cars and he loves cooking.
