Elena Marsh cooked in Austin restaurants for twelve years before she opened Copper Pot in 2019. She wanted a place where people who are nervous in their own kitchen could cook alongside a chef, make a mess, and sit down to a real dinner at the end. One long counter, twelve stations, copper pots on the wall, and the dishes are on us.
