A Very Special Evening in The Deep End at SXSW

Amid days of live podcasts, unfiltered storytelling, and musical spotlights at The Deep End at SXSW, Vox Media, with CEO Jim Bankoff and Recode’s Kara Swisher, hosted a special evening with industry leaders.

Recode’s Kara Swisher, editor-at-large and host of the Recode Decode podcast, sat down with The Verge’s Casey Newton, Silicon Valley editor and author of The Interface newsletter, to ignite the evening of conversation, while we dined on a special eight course feast. Curated for Austin, we welcomed local chef Kevin Fink of Emmer & Rye to bring us the tastes of local restaurant — and Eater Austin favorite — for a meal that included pork loin with burnt bread broth, black garlic, king trumpet, and celery to caramel chocolate mousse with pecan mole, sorghum, and wildflowers.

Enjoy the gallery below for snapshots of the memorable evening.
