Excuse the iphone quality, but how good does that plate look??
That’s some eggplant something (thin slices of eggplant wrapped around polenta in a marinara sauce with cheese), ratatouille (yum!!), and pear-walnut salad. Lovin’ it.
Much has been written about beloved Annie’s, so I won’t repeat the same. I will say this: make sure you’re prepared for [...]

Kenichi – good at raw fish
Kenichi has been Austin’s downtown sushi spot for quite some time (8+ years?), but with the recent additions of Imperia (a personal fave), Yu Sushi Igazyu, and coming-soon Piranha sushi and the stiff competition from heavily-discounted-happy-hour-hitters Kyoto, Silhouette, and Maiko (also a fave), the venerable spot is ramping up its image and offerings.
There’s a new [...]

Prix Fixe at TRIO and Austin Land and Cattle
These are some seriously awesome deals, people.
For Father’s Day, my bro and I used to take our dad to Outback Steakhouse every year. Unfortunately for Pops, the bro and I got into our free-range-meat-only habit, and Outback was out the window. Luckily for Dad, Austin Land & Cattle would never dream of serving up anything [...]

Exclusive Max’s Wine Dive/Penfolds Moonlight Tasting
So there’s this fancy-pants Penfolds’ Grange Shiraz that’s aged for at least three years after bottling in order to develop into an immensely complex and seductive wine with richly textured flavors, so wine enthusiasts salivate over the chance to try it. The Grange 2004 vintage will make its debut at Max’s Wine Dive’s unique Moonlight [...]

Free cupcakes at Brand-New Delish Cupcakes downtown
Delish Cupcake’s doors are finally open for business … although if you live near there (in the AMLI above), we know that they’ve softly opened their doors for about three weeks now.
Point is, today is the day for the grand opening, which they’re celebrating by giving free samples of cupcakes, cookies, bars, and more from [...]

Annie’s Grand Opening Tomorrow
Annie’s has gotten lots of buzz lately from foodies and old-timers who miss Apple Annie’s, a 26-year-old restaurant that spent a year catering-only and then reopened its doors as Annie’s just last week. Now (and by now I mean tomorrow, Wednesday, from 10:30am-3pm) is the time for the Grand Opening Celebration. There’ll be a ribbon-cutting [...]

Milano Cafe is a European Haven in Austin
Let’s work backwards: I don’t usually get dessert, but when they bring you a tiny plate with four bites of four different desserts, you don’t refuse. And when charming owner Sami Demi proceeds to tell you how Croatian tirimisu has 1/4 the calories of other tirimisus, and you don’t even like tirimisu, but you try [...]

New Cafe Laguna by Austin Museum of Art at Laguna Gloria

Housed in the museum’s 93-year-old Gatehouse, Café Laguna will serve lunch [...]

Bess Bistro on Pecan
I’ve heard plenty about Bess Bistro on Pecan, Sandra Bullock’s restaurant on West Sixth, so when 80% off coupons from restaurant.com came up for it, I had to take the $25 gift certificate for $2. Didn’t know there was a $50 minimum when Dad and I went there for lunch. Alright, we say, let’s spend [...]

Cheer Up Charlie’s Grand Opening
Finally our hippie town is getting the food to match! I’ve heard great things about their coconut milk drinks served in a coconut, cacao drinks, and goji-berry-stuffed raw chocolate, but there’s more to come too! The east side is getting so hot …
… And Happy 25th Birthday to a certain June bride …
