Or, my mom is awesome and one of those people who will actually email to ask questions. Paleo/Primalists can hush with their “98% is too lean!” bs before this post, because I agree and grass-fed beef fat is perfectly fine if not good for you, but my mom likes the super-duper lean kind and this…

Do Celebs Drink Beer in LA? The Elbow Room Encino
Because there’s a fantastic new gastropub-style restaurant opening in Encino, on Ventura Blvd in (basically) LA. The Elbow Room (elbowroomencinco.com) features a killer craft beer selection, absolutely scrumptious grass-fed beef burgers, ribs, and meatballs, and more—including waffle sammies. Basically, celebs are about to start faux celebs like me already frequent this not-even-open-yet culinary destination. [obvious disclaimer]…
Austin: the W and TRACE at the W Open
Today the W opens in downtown Austin, and so does TRACE, the in-hotel restaurant focused on conscious cuisine. That means local and seasonal, for those not already in the know. Focusing on Central Texas’ local growers, artisans and purveyors, Staff Forager Valerie Broussard (who also happens to be Slow Food Austin’s Biodiversity Chair) works in tandem…
More on why you should eat grassfed beef
For a video interview (peep it here) for EndlessBeauty.com, a colleague and I hit up My Fit Foods, who is sponsoring us for two weeks of our Extreme Body Challenge. In Austin, My Fit Foods was quickly a big hit with the CrossFit community but has recently faced some fierce competition from the likes of…
Grass-Fed Meat
I eat only free-range, grass-fed meat, free-range chicken, and wild-caught fish. I’ve been eating this way for over 3 years, and I think it’s important for health, happiness, and the environment. When I started CrossFit about a year ago, the big thing was the Zone Diet. Well, there’s no way in hell I’m measuring and…
MooJesus! at EverythingJesus! Ranch
We picked this raw dairy out of a list of many (some closer to Austin) raw dairies simply because of its name: MooJesus! But perhaps it was some sort of divine intervention, as 1/2 of Team TLSP ventured to Seguin, Texas for raw milk adventures and ended up finding kindred spirits. Video footage forthcoming of…

Mighty Fine Burgers, Fries & Shakes opens its third location at the University Oaks Shopping Center (next to IKEA) today. The company behind the concept – K&N Management -is sure that Mighty Fine will be a big hit with…
Food Porn: TRIO
Food porn. This post is nothing but unadulterated food porn. I LOVE TRIO’s popovers, so much so that the PR director makes sure to have them available to me whenever I show up. See my previous post on TRIO’s popovers … But most everything TRIO serves is divine too, including free range beef tenderloin of…
Austin Restaurant Week 2, Round 2
Round two of Austin’s second Restaurant Week is NOW, March 8-11, so try a restaurant on the cheap with prix-fixe $25 or $35 menus. My G and I tried Jeffrey’s last week and were pretty happy. I went with beet salad, gnocchi (pictured), and chocolate cake. He went crispy oysters, ribs (pictured), and crepes. Luckily,…
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…
