It’s a smidge gloomy outside, but we’re hoping it’ll clear up by happy hour. TRIO? Belmont? Little Woodrow’s? 219 West? Can’t decide. If free booze is your thing, though, you won’t want to miss Austin Monthly’s May issue party at the Russell Collection Fine Art Gallery on West 6th. Be the first to see the…

Monday Madness – $2 Sushi at Kenobi Restaurant and Sushi Bar
This is crazy talk: $2 cocktails, $2 sushi pieces, 1/2 price rolls and 1/2 price apps, 4pm to close. EVERY MONDAY. Go eat some. (Up near the Arboretum, I haven’t personally been but I’ve heard it’s GOOD.)

I like bread a lot. I like whole wheat bread mainly, because I like the richer flavor. I like hearty, dense breads. I like sourdough. I like Ezekiel sprouted grain bread. Much to the chagrin of my notions of eating a low-carb diet because it’s healthy, I find it nearly impossible to give up bread.…

The twitter/foodblogosphere is abuzz with Addie Broyles’ scoop vis-a-vis KGSR radio this morning that Threadgill’s North is offering free dinner this week! So I must post as well, lest you guys assume I’m out of the loop. After a 3-month hiatus, the north store (6416 North Lamar)–which lays claim to the first beer license in…

About a year ago, I read about a new chocolate company making a new kind of chocolate–straight from the bean, healthier, fair-trade, all the good stuff. And like the Silicon-Valley-software nerds they were, they were offering it to testers as a Beta version. Despite my misgivings that they weren’t encouraging me to Beta test by…
