Someone go try it for me please? Bread and beer. Things I shouldn’t eat but happen to love. [Sidenote: there’s a new bakery in Aspen on the mall under the Psychic called Annette’s and the bread there is TO DIE FOR, so to speak, as I ate almost half a loaf and spent the rest…

Austin: Easy Tiger (or, another 24 Diner post)
I leave for a just a bit and return to a dino bone parking lot under 35 and more bars and food trailers in Rainey than I can count. Downtown is sprawling, and come May, there’ll be this year’s Eastside Showroom, a bakery and beergarden called Easy Tiger, sure to be the foodie-and-mixologist crowd’s new fave. At 709…

Australian Cupcakes at Sugar Mama’s
Jess Pryles, owner of Sugadeaux Cupcakes in Melbourne, Australia, will be guest-baking at Sugar Mama’s (1905 S. First St.) this entire week. I can’t wait for the Malteaser cupcake made with malt balls! Mmmmm. More from Addie Broyles (http://www.austin360.com/search/content/food_drink/stories/2009/05/0520foodmatters.html): Cupcakes from Down Under at Sugar Mama’s: With every tweet, the world gets a little smaller.…
New Celeb Hangout: Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf
Driving down South Lamar the other day, I spotted a Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf sign just after the bridge and thought to myself, “Wow, I saw lots of those in L.A. And you always hear about celebrities popping into them. We’re growing up …” And not two days later, I get a press release…
Bona Dea Bread
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.…
Thursday: Spas + Jewels + new bars
As usual, Thursday night is packed with stuff. Don’t let the cold, dreary rain keep you from partying! This particular Thursday is the last before the SXSW madness strikes, but Cuatro’s is getting in on the fun early with some sort of college party, see my spreadsheet (tab: SXSW 2009) for more details. As far…
Olivia, Uchi, and Weddings
What do Olivia, Uchi, and weddings have in common? Well, the first two are two of the best restaurants in town, and the third is a place where I found the best wedding cake and my new fave app. So food is what we have in common here, glorious, delicious food. Olivia the locally-sourced, Michael…
Hey! Cupcake 2nd Location on Burnet Rd.
While I don’t personally care for Hey! Cupcake’s cupcakes (I MUCH prefer Sugarmama’s), in the interest of keeping up with the cupcake trend I feel obliged to point this out. Hey, Cupcake! opened a second location on Saturday, and this location is in an actual store rather than a silver Airstream on South Congress. But…
Cookie Lounge – Hello Candied Serrano Pepper
Candied serrano peppers. Sure, the dough is good, the customizing thing is good, the choices are good … yeah, Cookie Lounge is good. But the candied serrano peppers make the place great. They make your cookie fantastic. I had the gluten-free dough, which is made with amaranth–an ancient grain that’s so super good for you.…
