Imma let you in on a lil secret. I recently wrote about TC’s Lounge for Austin Monthly’s Cool Things issue, as it is an undoubtedly Cool place. I got most of my information on the joint from Achachay!’s drummer, one Mr. Ryan Greenblatt. While his sunglasses may arise a Stevie Wonder in you as to…

Beanitos?
Yes, this is a chip made of beans. And rice. Complete protein? Check it out for yourself at the Beanitos Launch Party: Tuesday, January 5 at 11am at the Long Center. Corn-chip-eating cow, WWF-inspired corn stalk versus bean wrestling match, and “kick the corn” football game are just a few of the all-ages activities. Plus…
MooJesus! at EverythingJesus! Ranch
We picked this raw dairy out of a list of many (some closer to Austin) raw dairies simply because of its name: MooJesus! But perhaps it was some sort of divine intervention, as 1/2 of Team TLSP ventured to Seguin, Texas for raw milk adventures and ended up finding kindred spirits. Video footage forthcoming of…
24 Diner a Total Win
24 Diner opened up to much fanfare in the old Waterloo restaurant space next to the existing Waterloo Records. A 24-hour diner? With locally-sourced foods? A collective “whaaaaat?” eminated from Austin.

Berry Austin – New Fave FroYo Place
The secret is out–yogurt that is frozen is delicious and sells like, erm, hotcakes in Austin. New spots are cropping up all over the place, but none are as uniquely Austin as Berry Austin. The interior is fun, kitschy, and exactly what a place you come for treats should look like–sort of like Willy Wonka’s…
A Report on Carillon’s Fantastic Tasting Menu
Due to a series of very fortunate events, I ended up getting to go try Carillon’s tasting menu when I thought I wouldn’t get to this week. It was INCREDIBLE. Also, for the record, Carillon is pronounced “Carol – yawn” and you don’t need reservations. Also it turns out that the 3-Course Tasting is $30…

Lips of an Angel – Grounded in Music Benefit
I am a sucker for Jack Ingram. Not so much the man himself, but the voice … well, maybe just Lips of an Angel, because I like it when Hinder sang it too (although I never understood how they both released it at the same time, and the two don’t sound very different). ANYWAY, the…
