Drink for [a] Cause(s)

It seems like there are opportunities to support local charities in just about everything you do. While I don’t normally highlight events until a day or two before, I’ve got to get this on your calendar because it’s a cause near and dear to me (that, and I’m the Brunette QB, and we need to [...]

“This is going to be the next big Austin restaurant”

“This is going to be the next big Austin restaurant,” said my grounded, engineer, out-of-the-scene date to La Condesa’s soft opening last night. He is not given to fanciful phrases and media hype, but he was absolutely floored by the decor and atmosphere at La Condesa. Add in some tasty drinks, superb guacamole, and just [...]

Rumors! La Condesa + Walton’s

A new restaurant from the Lambert’s team called La Condesa (Mexican food?) is scheduled to open in February ‘09, directly across from Lambert’s at the corner of Guadalupe and 2nd Street.  Chef Rene Ortiz of New York’s La Esquina (the corner, haha) will lead the restaurant and Lambert’s Executive Chef Larry McGuire will assist in [...]

Iron Cactus Brunch

My friends and I are finally jumping on the brunch bandwagon socialites have been riding for years: what better way to rehash the night before than over hashbrowns and mimosas? Hair of the dog …
So we went to Moonshine awhile ago and loved it. Yesterday we hit a spot most of us didn’t even realize [...]

Review: El Chile North (you know, the free ‘ritas)

I was thoroughly impressed by El Chile North–I haven’t been to the East Austin one, but the food was superb. They serve chips and salsa in little bowls, which one of my companions deemed “classier than a big one.” I thought it just looked like more work for our server, but whatever. The salsa is [...]

Free Margaritas!!

So Austin favorite El Chile just opened up a location at Far West, and they don’t have their liquor license, so they’re giving away two free margaritas with an entree purchase!
El Chile and fast-food kid sister El Chilito are Manor Road faves, hot with the UT crowd and downtown dwellers and workers. I’ve never been, [...]

Review: Sago Modern Mexican

Based on cocktails and appetizers alone, Sago was delicious! Their signature Z-Martini is a spicy-sweet number sweetened with agave nectar–low on the GI scale, so less of an impact on your blood sugar!–and it even has little pieces of crushed jalapeno floating throughout! We also tried a martini whose name I can’t remember, sort of [...]

Too many options Thursday!

So many events, so little time. Thursdays are hot in the ATX! (literally and figuratively, natch)
Top Billing: Sago Modern Mexican opening!
6:00-7:30pm … Sponsored by Austin Monthly and featuring free apps and martinis, the launch of this new restaurant in the Triangle should be an awesome event.
Others:
Austin Monthly is also hosting a trunk show/event at Ven [...]
