Chef Berty Richter grew up eating Turkish food in Israel, and he never forgot the flavors of his childhood—not when he started working in kitchens near home or when he took his talents to New York City. Eventually, Richter made his way to Austin, and he realized that this foodie-friendly city was lacking in one area: Mediterranean cuisine. So last September, he decided to do something about it. He opened Hummus Among Us.
Hummus Among Us resides in one of Austin's signature food trailer parks at 1906 East Cesar Chavez Street. Savor the classic hummus plate, which showcases a blend of chickpeas, tahini, green chili sauce, olive oil, and herbs and spices. You can also order your hummus topped with smoked brisket shawarma and onions on top. Or savor the slowly smoked meat on top of your Jerusalem nachos, which come smothered with hummus, veggies, herbs and spices, and a boiled egg.
