Just yesterday, after recommending this whiskey to the umpteenth person (and after giving it as a gift, and, ahem, enjoying it myself), I realized I need to share it here. Go buy High West Distillery’s Barreled Manhattan. It’s delicious, hand-labeled, special, and perfect for any occasion. In O.C., you can find it at Costa Mesa’s…
“LA’s newest celebrity scene nightclub” (direct quote), recently sent me a list of their signature cocktails in advance of the opening of the newest club from the H.wood Group (think Bootsy Bellows & Shorebar), Hooray Henry’s. I was mostly excited that I’ve made my way on to some sort of LA press list as a celebrity blogger ……
No, I haven’t already this summer gone through an entire handle of tequila infused with jalapenos for making spicy ‘ritas—yet! I have been brining the heat to Aspen, so to speak (we’re experiencing a way-early summer anyway regardless of my cocktail-making), but I’m always looking for more spicy-delicious cocktails. Just in time for Memorial Day,…
Zed’s, the new North Austin dining destination serving modern, casual Austin-American fare, recently introduced an expansive Sunday brunch buffet (which, as you know, is what I think ALL brunches should be). Zed’s brunch is served from 11am to 3pm every Sunday. The kid-friendly menu includes made-to-order omelets, a meat-carving station, waffles with assorted fruit toppings, and…
The Blind Side is ONLY my favorite movie ever. It has surpassed Top Gun, and nothing had surpassed Top Gun since I saw it in 1995. Or somewhere around then. Anyway, this fall the Four Seasons is hosting Dive in Movies (like Deep Eddy’s, only better, because it’s the FOUR SEASONS) where you can lounge…

I can hardly believe it was 2 years ago that I hit up Imperia’s grand opening–and almost immediately bounced because it was SO CROWDED. One of my fave happy hour joints sure knows how to throw a party, but I can only hope for my own sake (and the sake of my free-sushi-loving-wallet) that this…
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.)
