Eat ALL the Breads! BFree!

A followup to Half a Burrito! and Eat ALL the Pasta … in which I ate ALL the breads but it was okay because they’re BFreeFoods sliced breads and rolls and bagels—BAGELS!—and they’re low cal and gluten free and even relatively low carb. Buy at Ralphs or online (where it appears they’re currently sold out of most…

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…

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.…

OMG the BEST veggie sandwich I’ve ever had

“I need your advice,” I say to the guy behind the counter at Jo’s on Second Street. “Veggie burger or veggie sandwich?” Without a second’s hesitation, almost before I’ve finished talking, he says, “Veggie sandwich.” Ok. Let me pause here and say that I don’t really like sandwiches. Most of them have too much bread…

Popovers at Trio in the Four Seasons

So we all know Trio is an amazing restaurant in the Four Seasons. Some people knock the decor (red and orange tones) or say “it’s not that good,” but really, when they say those sorts of things, it’s because they’re jealous. Trio has food, service, and wine down pat. Ha, that’s a trio. But I…

Moonshine Brunch

So I’ve been talking about Moonshine’s brunch for over a month now, and finally went yesterday. It was awesome! We arrived around noon (the brunch runs 10-2:30), and they told us the wait would be about 45 minutes to an hour for a table of 5. We snagged spots at the bar and were seated…

Review: Phil’s Icehouse

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I’m way behind the times. Phil’s Icehouse caused quite a stir when it came on the Burnet Road scene (at the very beginning of a Burnet Road scene even existing) because of its mini burgers, funky decor, shared space with Amy’s Ice Creams, and playscape out front. Today I shared lunch there…
