The recipient of a bachelor's degree in accounting from Penn State University, Reid Hackney is a retired financial executive who most recently served as vice president and chief financial officer of the retail enterprise AGACI. In retirement, Reid Hackney enjoys visiting the Pearl district of San Antonio, Texas, to check out new restaurants.
The Pearl district's reputation for quality restaurants that offer a diverse selection of food coincides with a $35 million investment by Kit Goldsbury in 2008 to bring an official Culinary Institute of America (CIA) campus to the area. When it first opened, the CIA established the student-run restaurant NAO, which emphasized Latin American cuisine. Although the restaurant closed in 2018, a new CIA-run establishment has opened in its stead.
The new restaurant, Savor, opened in mid-January to a glowing review from mySanAntonio, which acknowledged both the space and the menu as a significant upgrade over NAO. The restaurant is located near the former NAO building in what was once the Sandbar Fishhouse & Market. It is both brighter and more intimate than NAO and houses an open kitchen concept that allows both students and instructors to cook for as many as 60 guests at any given time. Meanwhile, the menu reflects a more modern American dining experience over the Latin American flavors emphasized at NAO.
