A: AUSTIN! My most favorite “celebrity” chef…i use that term lightly, is in town for a speaking event, a book signing, and he is also filming an episode for his Travel Channel morsel of righteousness, No Reservations! I saw him speak about two years ago and it was one of the most memorable events of my …

I have made it my new goal to continue on with GBJ. Trust mama when she says that there is more than plenty of material to keep us going for a while.. The little peanut is nearly 1.5, I am still married to amigo, and we’ve managed to keep up with our mortgage payments! I’d …
I am going to be honest here….I DO NOT like nor do I trust Asian cuisine, I just don’t. I can’t be diggin’ on a place that hangs naked ducks in the windows (Enticement? I don’t think so.) or on a cuisine that insists on showering everything on the menu in fish sauce! I’ve had …
I have been waiting to review Ross’s and it’s not an ideal time now because I am starving…but, I will go ahead and get it done! I had gone to Ross’s once back in early 2001 or so, and since moving to a more centrally located spot in town, I simply (and oh so sadly) …
My #1 amigo and I decided to treat ourselves to dinner this past weekend. One of our favorite past times, besides the actual action of stuffing our faces, is to try new restaurants!

Let’s begin with a trip to tacoland. Pablito’s Bakery @ Bluff Bend and Braker is par none. Everything I have had there is divine. (They could use some help with their coffee-making skills, but….) Gorditas, quesadillas, tacos, tortas, everything! Very fresh and flavorful and most importantly, affordable. Pablito’s is better than La Mexicana (my former …
Zandunga is the second child for the east Austin staple, Mi Madre’s. It has been several months since our trip here, so it’s a bit hard for me to recall many specifics. I will say this though, I realllly wanted to like it, beacuse I love Mi Madre’s and I think that the family …
Phew, sorry about that ya’ll! I done went and got hitched to amigo, bought a house (HEADACHE, but worth it), got a dog (Frankie!!!!), and had family in for the holidays – life has been insane… Something swell did indeed rise through the smoke – we are amidst a plethora of new restaurants and bars …
The food trailer has become somewhat of a local revolution, they are everywhere. Some are good, some not-so-much and it’s a high stakes game when I compromise my food. To the west of the new East Side Drive In (whack) is a commune of food trailers, and one of those is the #19 Bus. An old …
Let me start by saying that today, Amigo and I got to eat lunch together, so my that made my day – he even brought the Frankie with him! We decided to try Your Mom’s Burger Bar because some friends of ours in the ‘hood said they were pretty darn good. Holy schmolly they could …
