Japanese fast-casual restaurant Pepper Lunch is coming to Hutto, Mayor Mike Snyder confirmed in a Facebook post.

The gist

Pepper Lunch will be located in the Sprouts development at the Northeast corner of Hwy. 130 and Hwy. 79, where a Jason's Deli and Longhorn Steakhouse have also been announced.

The restaurant is centered around a unique dining experience in which meals arrive on a 500-degree cast-iron plate so that diners can then mix, season and finish cooking their meals themselves.
