Kids, I’ve gone Paleo. You’ll see upcoming posts on things not Paleo (looking at you, Dulce Vida delicious tequila), like the following notice in this same post, but as of the beginning of this week, I’ve undertaken a 30-day Strict Paleo Challenge with 4 of my fellow CrossFitters. Curious? What’s a Paleo? Already thought I…

Promise Pizza
There are two AMAZING things about Promise Pizza: 1) Gluten-Free Pizza Crust: – Smart Flour (amaranth flour, tapioca flour, teff flour), water, sweet white sorghum flour, modified tapioca starch, potato starch, eggs, olive oil, honey, yeast, sugar, xanthan gum, guar gum, salt, baking powder, baking soda MUCH better for you than regular crust! 2) Vegan…
Free Mid-Week CrossFit Workout!
I know, I know, I’m always posting about free CrossFit workouts (hello, they happen at least once a month), but this one is special because it’s on a Wednesday at 9:30am. Totally random–or targeting those of us who refuse to get out of bed for 8:30am Saturday workouts–but totally awesome. Get to work early and…
Prix Fixe at TRIO and Austin Land and Cattle
These are some seriously awesome deals, people. For Father’s Day, my bro and I used to take our dad to Outback Steakhouse every year. Unfortunately for Pops, the bro and I got into our free-range-meat-only habit, and Outback was out the window. Luckily for Dad, Austin Land & Cattle would never dream of serving up…

Z Pizza + Counter-Guy Austin = Awesome
During Cinco de Mayo block party yesterday, we forewent the long lines for un-free beer and ‘ritas inside the 21+ fence-tent and stopped by new 2nd Street spot Z Pizza. Inside, the two girls I was with and I peppered the counter guy with questions: “Is the chicken free range?” (no, but it’s “nitrate-free”) “Do…
Cookie Dreams
I ate the cookies too fast to even photograph them. Let me explain: I’m out at a food blogger happy hour at parkside (delish) and I meet this super-stylish girl named Alexandra. Turns out she owns the cookie company I’ve heard great things about but never really understood: Alexandra’s Cookie Dreams. The confusing part is…
New P. Terry’s Opens Today!
I got a personal (ok, to his mailing list) email this morning from Patrick Terry announcing one of the most exciting things I’ve heard in days: the second P. Terry’s at 32nd and Lamar will open today! Hours: 11 am to 11 pm. They’ve got a little bit of indoor seating, outdoor seating, and, as…
