Open since Thursday, Moo Moo’s is the newest food trailer to hit South Austin.  The stars here are mini burgers, two to an order, in JV (basic toppings) or Varsity (deluxe toppings) options.  You can mix and match if you’d like, but remember, mini burgers are much bigger than sliders so try not to over [...]

Today’s song of the day is ‘The Devil’s Crayon’ by Wild Beasts, an English indie rock band.  Food posts might be light this week as I am in detox mode.  In Houston for the last four days, I was with family which means tons of eating/drinking.  We hit up The Grove, Anvil, Lupe Tortilla, Kenny [...]

San Antonio based Sushi Zushi recently opened an Austin location in the new downtown 5th Street Commons development. I remember from visiting the Dallas location that my favorite thing they offer is riceless rolls; instead of rice and seaweed, they wrap a roll with cucumber.  I’m not a huge fan of rice so this is [...]

Today’s song of the day is ‘A Favor House Atlantic’ by Coheed and Cambria, a NY rock band.  They sound like Rush mashed with a Top 40 band.  Catch Coheed and Cambria Friday Oct. 2nd at the ACL festival on the Barton Springs stage at 4:30.  Finally, about a month away now!!!

To watch ‘A Favor [...]

Piranha Killer Sushi is the newest sushi joint to open in downtown Austin.  Based in Arlington, TX, this is the fourth Piranha to open, which explains why things are already running smoothly after opening last week.  We asked our wonderful waiter Jordan what he recommends and we ended up ordering the 3 items he suggested. [...]

Today’s song of the day is ‘Furr’ by Blitzen Trapper, a Portland experimental folk rock sextet.  Blitzen is one of those bands where every song on the CD is enjoyable, no hit singles and duds to balance each other out.  This song reminds me of my summer camp in Wisconsin for some reason.  Catch Blitzen [...]

Rio Grande, most famous for margaritas and opening in the Real World Austin House, may have some new things to brag about.  The restaurant has made some changes recently and now has a new look and new menu.  This is a good thing, trust me.  Yesterday, the restaurant invited some food bloggers to sample some [...]

Emerald City Press is a walk up/ drive thru one stop shop for Austinites who need coffee, snacks, flowers, and news.  Besides the teas/ Katz’s coffee, the menu offers sweets from Upper Crust bakery, Lone Star Kolaches, Tacodeli Tacos, Ken’s Donuts, Hot Jumbo Bagels, Goodflow Juice (when is Goodflow coming back on shelves btw?), Austin [...]

Today’s song of the day is ‘Gang of Thieves’ by State Radio, a Boston rock band.  Were you a Dispatch fan in college (Bats in the Belfry anyone)?  Well, I certainly was and its interesting to see one of the members in this band!  Catch these guys on Sunday at the ACL festival at 3:30 [...]

So Josh went last week, now it was my turn to visit Cannoli Joe’s (I had a gift certificate for dinner for 4 people).  Quoting my friend Adele, ‘ a buffet version of Olive Garden mixed with a little bit of Golden Corral.’  It was awesome for an every so often occasion.  I was impressed [...]
