Dare I say 2021 was a tad better than 2020? Yes, the pandemic continues (I can’t believe it’s been nearly 2 years of the pandemic life), but thanks to vaccines, I felt comfortable mid-summer trying a good chunk of new restaurants that opened in 2021! I’ve only made a dent in the best new restaurants in Austin, but feel like I hit up many that were at the…
Well, now that we’re past Snovid and most everyone I know has water and hot water back, I’m feel energized and ready to get out there and support local restaurants via take out. The last few weeks were a doozy but Spring is ahead (so is Spring Forward this weekend). Please be respectful of restaurant staff and wear a mask when you pick up take out! I’ll be…
It’s going to be a rainy and cold next several days so our take out game is gonna be strong! Not like we were dining out anyway but for those of you who want suggestions of good spots with a strong to-go program, I gotchu! I’ve made it my mission to support as many local Austin restaurants as I can through take out. I know many of you…
Back by popular demand! I’m starting up this series again now that I’m past the worst part of my foot surgery and can drive again and pickup take out! Woohooo! Y’all, being able to grab take out on my own is a freedom I’ll never take for granted. My husband was super awesome and would go pick up food anytime, but something about being able to hop in…
The moment we’ve all been waiting for – EARLY VOTING is here! There are tons of restaurants and breweries offering deals and discounts if you show your “I Voted” sticker and if you needed even more of an incentive to vote, there you have it! I’ve made it my mission to support as many local Austin restaurants as I can through take out. I know many of you…
Is it just me or is time zooming by this year? 2020 has been a blur – I’m not mad about it since it’s the worst year yet. One awesome thing that has come out of it is all the take out I’ve had at home and all the local restaurants I’ve had the chance to support. Also, I love sharing my recs with you! I’ve made it…
October eeekkk! So excited about the cool weather, all things fall, and pumpkins!! For all of you that are itching to enjoy sometime outside, do it with some take out and a picnic! I’m nearly 3 months in to putting these weekly roundups together. Hope you’re enjoying referencing them and have tried some new-to-you local spots! I’ve made it my mission to support as many local Austin restaurants…
I’ve hit the 6-month ‘wall’ that is common when facing a crisis, significant change, or pandemic! I feel hopeless and stir-crazy. They say that the 6-month wall is totally normal and most of the world is going through it and we just need to hold on another 4 weeks or so, and we’ll get over the wall. I’M WAITING! Maybe I’ll feel comfortable dining on a patio at…
I hope you all are doing well and hanging in there! The Governor has given restaurants the choice to open up to 75% capacity starting 9/21. Not thrilled about that because I don’t think we’re ready given our numbers but what do I know? Anyway, I’m sticking to take out because I’m not comfortable sitting inside a restaurant with others not wearing masks. I’m so excited to share…
It felt like fall for 1 whole day in Austin! Haha, but tbh, I’m so glad summer is coming to an end and I can start eating all the warm, cozy food via take out! This week’s recommendations are 3 spots that are serving comfort foods in the best way possible. Think pizza, biscuits and hoagies! I’ve made it my mission to support as many local Austin restaurants…
