Update: A member of Chef Kevin Fink's team reached out to Patch on Thursday, May 31, to note inaccuracies in our previous story. The restaurant sustained no damage, and the small electrical fire was quickly extinguished in about 25 minutes' time, she said. Moreover, the restaurant has not been forced to close,not even in the immediate aftermath of the blaze, she said. Patch relied on information transmitted via Twitter on the night of the small electrical fire that the team member said is erroneous.

AUSTIN, TX — The Henbit eatery in downtown Austin caught fire Sunday, sustaining a degree of structure damage that will force its temporary closure in the week ahead, officials said.

Firefighters were called to the restaurant at 111 Congress Ave. just after 9 p.m. on Sunday, where they found an oven fire in the first floor of the establishment. The cause of the fire was determined to be a failure of the blower motor in the commercial oven, a glitch that ultimately would cause some $25,000 in structure damage.

Located downtown in Fareground Austin on Congress and Cesar Chavez, Henbit prides itself on offering a menu largely comprising locally sourced ingredients. As a result of the blaze, the eatery will be closed on Memorial Day, fire officials noted.
