Austin: Gypsy Picnic
In other words, 35 trailers in one place (Auditorium Shores) with $3 sample plates (steal!) in an all-out battle for culinary supremacy. Perhaps best of all, the eats will be arranged geographically throughout the park, so if you forget where to find something you found you loved at this event, you can just figure out…
Aspen: CP’s Burger
Aspen needs some mid-price places to grab a quick bite, so I was thrilled to hear about CP’s Burgers, downtown next to the ice rink. We headed over one evening to check it out. It’s not cheap, but it’s relatively well priced–for Aspen. The presentation is gorgeous: Burger, tuna burger, parmesan truffle fries, sweet potato…
Austin: New Restaurant backspace means pizza
I get a lot of press releases, and a lot of food-related press release (something about loving to eat …?). Anyway, a lot of times I save them until I can go visit the restaurant in question, using the info to write a photo-filled blog post about what I liked and didn’t. Rarely do I…

ACL: Eating Guide
Eating with me is a challenge, I will freely admit. I want free-range happy meat, chicken, milk, and eggs. I don’t want white bread, I probably don’t want whole wheat bread, I definitely don’t want corn (unless it’s a tortilla chip) or beans or soy. I don’t want fake sugar, or agave, or real sugar…
Austin: Free Coffee at Austin Java
Austin Java, which is surprisingly perhaps better known for its food than its, well, java, is inviting everyone to their Parkway location tonight from 7:30-9p for free coffee and apps (chips & salsa, hummus & focaccia bread, caesar salad & chicken skewers)! The master roaster will introduce the new Brazilian coffee of the month and…
Aspen: Well hello Matsuhisa, nice to meet you
The holy grail of Aspen food is UNarguably Matsuhisa. As in celeb-heavyweight Nobu’s little pet sister restaurant, the one Chef Nobu only opened for fun. You wait for someone’s rich parents or tourists to invite you to dinner there, and then you feel awkward the entire time because it’s so expensive and extravagant that you…
Aspen: Shop and Eat in New Places!
New places to shop (I still love Susie’s): WeSC, which stands for “WeAretheSuperlativeConspiracy”, opened its Aspen concept store this August. The Swedish born street-fashion brand is designed “For intellectual slackers,” it means for hipsters with cash to spend and attitude to spare (461 East Hopkins). Courage. B boutique will open “soon” and specialize in fashionable women’s…
Aspen: Oktoberfest. In September. Whatever.
Maybe it’s a smidge odd that the Second Annual Oktoberfest in Aspen is being celebrated at the end of September … but nonetheless, the Wienerstube celebrates German traditions with live music, authentic Austrian and Bavarian food, and, naturally, beer! wienerstube.com, 970.925.3357
