I went to brunch in Houston at Quattro, the Four Seasons’ restaurant. If the Austin Four Seasons brunch at Trio is anything like its sibling, I need to get there stat. I’ve heard it’s good, but seriously, if it’s this good, it’s high time we put it on the list of things to do. Quattro’s…

El Chilito is now downtown!
I had a friend who used to live near the original El Chilito (the taco-stand version of El Chile) on Manor Road and she used to talk almost incessantly about how good El Chilito was, and how she lived off their tacos in college. So when I found out that El Chilito Numero Dos is…
Enoteca Vespaio
Crispy and doughy are generally opposites, but somehow the crust on my pizza at Enoteca Vespaio managed to be both, with a sprinkling of crunchy salt on top. It was amazing.

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…
Review: The Grove Wine Bar / Kitchen
It was my first food-induced coma. A friend and I went to The Grove Wine Bar / Kitchen for a leisurely lunch today. It’s a new wine bar/restaurant just west of the corner of 360 and Bee Caves, on Bee Caves. It has an awesome patio with huge tress shading the entire thing–hence the name…
