Grass-fed Texas wagyu steak at the Well in Austin.

The Texas wagyu tri-tip is as popular as you’d expect it to be at the Well, a 20‑minute walk from the state Capitol building in Austin.

This plate of steak comes with a secret, though: The accompanying barbecue sauce is sweetened with beets, not sugar. The tacos at the restaurant use tortillas fashioned from cassava flour, which, unlike white flour, is gluten-free, higher in protein and fiber, and lower in calories. And cocktails such as the Valldemosa are sweetened with dandelion honey instead of syrup.
