Over the weekend, my dad and I engaged in what I lovingly call “prison labor”, where we move stones around my backyard. This time, we were moving half of my limestone patio to the other side of the yard to claim more grass and build a patio from my house out my giant sliding glass…
What a freakin’ pub golf crawl! It was so much freakin’ fun, and went off without a hitch. First, we played sports. Then, we ate Crow Burger. Then, six of us got ready together like a damn coed sorority fraternity and that alone was hilarious. Brick and Brock. Name a more iconic duo … I’ll…
Y’ALL I KNOW I AM ANNOYING ABOUT THE THINGS I LOVE (ROSÉ, PATIOS, MY PATIO SPECIFICALLY, NALI, MY FRIENDS, BLAH BLAH) BUT I REALLY FREAKIN’ LOVE MY PATIO! Sunday: setup tv on beach to watch texans vs patriots. play vb. watch football. play vb. swim. PERFECT. Sunday afternoon: friends come over. babies. grillin’. rosé. PERFECT.…
It’s summer, and there is nothing I love more right now that hanging out on my patio (rosé in hand, probably). Last weekend, the patio hosted a super-fun graduation party on Saturday. We played Sunday volleyball. Then, post-vb we ordered Thai food and spent the next several hours just lounging around. It was perfect. The…
For a three-year period of my life, most of my big moments were punctuated by a trip to Moonshine for brunch. From the legendary JoSco (click here for The Tale of John Scott) to the time we skyped people in, from my goodbye brunch to a reunion date, Moonshine’s all-you-can-eat decadence has hosted more than…
When an occasion came along recently for us to celebrate, my number one choice was Ellina. The Vermonster and I had heard plenty of great things about Ellina, but hadn’t gotten a chance to check it out. It’s three seasons old (that’s a summer, winter, and now a summer) but still growing its buzz with…
Zed’s, the new North Austin dining destination serving modern, casual Austin-American fare, recently introduced an expansive Sunday brunch buffet (which, as you know, is what I think ALL brunches should be). Zed’s brunch is served from 11am to 3pm every Sunday. The kid-friendly menu includes made-to-order omelets, a meat-carving station, waffles with assorted fruit toppings, and…

Fourscore and several years ago I was slated to do some PR for a sweet new restaurant opening up right in my ‘hood. It went so far as me being at menu tastings. Alas, other things got in the way (including some delayed city permitting), and I got to experience the glory that is El…
