Mini bio
How it started.
Anthony built The Hungry Longhorn around trying something new in Austin each week. In his own account of the project, he described six years of food writing and a list of 421 restaurants he had visited. His reviews considered flavor and atmosphere, with criticism when he felt it was needed.
Finding his audience.
He said readers responded to detailed captions, even when conventional social media advice favored shorter ones. Restaurant media invitations and sponsored opportunities followed, and he established Hungry Longhorn LLC. By July 2022, The Alcalde reported that the 2019 UT Austin business graduate had tried more than 500 Austin restaurants.
Where he goes now.
His current channels pair Texas restaurant discoveries with food-focused travel. Recent videos take fans through Waikiki food stops and the Hawaii Food & Wine Festival, alongside Austin guides and disclosed brand collaborations.
