A story nearly lost to time. Four Austin restaurants and their multi-year journey to survive the worldwide changes in 2020. David Liu’s “TO BE SEEN” arrives in 2026. A @narriforge Production.

When this chef grew up working in his family’s restaurant every day, he would ask himself: ‘Is this something I want to do, or something I was born into?’ Opening Pho Craft answered that question. More than Vietnamese classics like pho and banh mi, he created a second home—a space that captures what it meant to grow up in Austin’s food truck culture, where everyone knows your name and comfort is always on the menu. Pho Craft is the fourth and final restaurant in TO BE SEEN. Four kitchens. Four stories. One truth: the best food comes from the heart. Your turn: What place feels like a second home to you? Where do you go when you need comfort?

Real BBQ starts with relationships, not recipes. 🤝 🔥@leroyandlewis gets it. Since 2017, they’ve built their entire operation around local farmers, honest craft, and creating experiences that bring people together. Every plate is an invitation to slow down and share something meaningful with your people. Featured as the third of four game-changing restaurants in TO BE SEEN. Let’s settle this: What’s your perfect BBQ order? Brisket? Ribs? Sausage? Defend your choice below 👇

Dreaming of pasta? You’re not alone🍝✨ The chef behind L’Oca d’Oro did—and didn’t ignore it. Before the restaurant existed in the real world, it existed in dreams. Night after night, vision after vision, the pieces came together. A million manifestations later, L’Oca d’Oro opened its doors as living proof that your dreams might be trying to tell you something. Featured as the second restaurateur in TO BE SEEN, alongside three other visionaries who refused to give up on what they saw for themselves. Tell us one dream you turned into reality, or one you’re brave enough to say out loud. Sometimes sharing it is the first step.

The best restaurants don’t just feed you—they welcome you home. ✨ That’s the magic of Foreign and Domestic, where every meal feels like gathering in your neighborhood’s living room. This Austin favorite (since 2010!) is one of four gems featured in TO BE SEEN, bringing you farm-to-table, nose-to-tail cuisine with influences from American, French, Italian, and Asian traditions. The result? Dishes you literally can’t get anywhere else. We want to know: Where’s your spot? Drop your go-to neighborhood restaurant below 👇

Ever hear that small voice in the back of your head telling you to try something? And then when you try it, you “fail”? David Liu has been there. As a young child, he studied composing and even failed music theory. But he loved film scores—the way they shaped the emotional impact of a story. Still, he felt too young, like he didn’t have the life experience to tell stories through music yet. So David put down the instruments and picked up a camera. He practiced storytelling another way—through cinematography. When lockdown hit in 2020, that small voice returned. It had been 15 years since he’d touched an instrument, but this time he listened. He founded Narriforge Productions and created To Be Seen as an opportunity to try composing again. To Be Seen is David’s longest-standing experiment on what happens when you listen to that small voice—even after “failure,” even after years away. He’s both the director and composer. The voice was right all along. 👇 So here’s our question for YOU: What does that small voice in your head say? Drop it in the comments. In our books, there’s no failure when you try—only new life experience to gain. 🎬🎵
