Are you in a need of a quick weekend getaway away from Austin/DFW but not too far? Salado, TX is your spot! I was pleasantly surprised to hear the navigation say we’d arrive from Austin in 45 minutes! Like what?! It’s only a short drive south of DFW too, so it makes a nice weekend getaway without spending too much time in the car on dreaded I-35. Did…
I had my eyes on Taquero Mucho’s opening date when I heard from Gabby, the owner of their sister restaurant, Gabriela’s downtown, that she was opening up a Taqueria. From the Instagram posts, I had a pretty good idea there would be some pink in the restaurant. Then I went in for brunch this past weekend with my fellow Austin Food Blogger Alliance members and it’s quite literally…
Do not snooze on brunch at Gabriela’s! It took me entirely too long (so embarrassed) to dine there and I don’t want you to make the same mistake! Gabriela, herself, hosted us for this month’s Austin Food Blogger Alliance happy hour (turned out to be brunch instead) and I think it’s safe to say that each of us were blown away. From the pineapple mimosas (freshly squeezed pineapple…
Gosh, I think this is the 3rd year I’ve consistently dined at Andiamo and obvi it is dang good or I wouldn’t keep going back! If you haven’t been, this gem has been serving up authentic Italian food in North Austin for 15 years! It’s Woman-Owned and Operated and definitely worthy of all the accolades it receives and continues to receive. Spring has blessed us with its presence,…
As #SXSW gets more and more popular ever year and our ever-growing Austin gets more populated, I stay farther and farther away from all things SXSW. However, I received an invite to attend a dinner event at the Hotel St. Cecilia, and I couldn’t turn either down, and I’m sooooo glad I went. Imagine showing up to a magical gem off of South Congress, Hotel St. Cecilia, and…
Thanks to my foodie friend I met through Instagram, @AustinFoodAdventures, I had the opportunity to try out so many dishes on Lucky Robot’s lunch menu. Lucky Robot has been on South Congress for as long as I can remember but only recently has it come to my attention that they’re Austin’s first sustainable sushi restaurant. I don’t know about you, but I’m hyper aware of how our food…
To state that I’m excited about attending the annual HOU vs ATX Throwdown next year is an understatement. I’m really not big into BBQ – well, I can’t eat as much as a true fan does – but I do love meeting the pitmasters, oogling over the meat and dining with friends and fellow fans! This year, the throwdown was in Austin at Friends & Allies Brewing back…
I was invited in by Artista Rosso for a blogger’s brunch preview before the official launch of Brunch service on 12/1. I’m going to be a frequent brunch-er there because HELLO NUTELLA BAR! If you’ve been to the space at Lamar Union, previously Delicious, the newly renovated spot features a market for the neighboring residents, a coffee bar, an extensive wine selection, a full draught beer selection and…
If you didn’t know, now you do! Wild Chix & Waffles is set to re-open on Tuesday, December 11th with a renovated space and a 100% #glutenfree menu! Yes, you heard that right. The Wild Chix & Waffles team hosted the Austin Food Blogger’s Alliance for our monthly Happy Hour and Holiday Party and had the great pleasure of previewing tons from their new menu. I mean, how…
Canned wines don’t have to be just for the people without tastes for the finer things in life! I’ve had some amazing wines in cans lately, and when Right Now Canned Wines asked if I’d be interested in having a sample of some of theirs, I quickly said YES! With football season and tailgating, to Halloween in a few days, to Thanksgiving and all the grub (wine pairs…
