Happy Birthday Moonshine

For a three-year period of my life, most of my big moments were punctuated by a trip to Moonshine for brunch. From the legendary JoSco (click here for The Tale of John Scott) to the time we skyped people in, from my goodbye brunch to a reunion date, Moonshine’s all-you-can-eat decadence has hosted more than…

Let’s Talk About Brunches

In honor of today being Monday, the day after Sunday, which is unofficial official Brunch Day, let’s talk about brunches. I’ve raved about the Four Seasons’ brunch more times than I can count, and Moonshine’s too. I was on quite the brunch kick for a little while, but athletics and sleeping have gotten in the…

The Perfect Four Seasons Brunch

After blogging about brunch at the Four Seasons in Houston, I had to make getting to ours in Austin a priority. So this Sunday, I brunched with a good friend at TRIO, the lakeside restaurant at the Four Seasons. It was a stunningly beautiful day, and we sat by a giant floor-to-ceiling window with a…

The Tale of John-Scott

We–that is, me and my now-Brunch-obsessed pals–were at Moonshine Sunday morning for a little rehashing of last night over bloody marys and southern comfort food. Thrilled that they sat us at the exact same table as the last time we were there, we were even more excited when our server came over. It wasn’t his…

Iron Cactus Brunch

My friends and I are finally jumping on the brunch bandwagon socialites have been riding for years: what better way to rehash the night before than over hashbrowns and mimosas? Hair of the dog … So we went to Moonshine awhile ago and loved it. Yesterday we hit a spot most of us didn’t even…

Haunted Pub Crawls Galore!

There’s one Saturday and Sunday, so pick your poison or scare yourself silly and go to both: Saturday: Haunted House Pub Crawl There are two main draws to the Haunted House Pub Crawl: Mansion of Terror (supposed to be the scaries in Austin) and drinks on the bus. $50 ticket includes:…

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…

Moonshine

Since all I want to do is eat some solid food (Day 9 of the Cleanse), I’m going to go ahead and torture myself and talk about Moonshine. The Third-and-Red-River hotspot has the best of many worlds–business/tourist traffic with the Convention Center and downtown and local traffic for the downtown reason and because it’s just…
