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…

Four Seasons brunch
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…
A Mama Fu’s Surprise
I have to preface talking about my experience at Mama Fu’s last night by letting you in on my bias: the other day, my parents and I drove by a Mama Fu’s and my parents started talking about how they had just gone last week and loved it. I looked at them puzzled and said,…

Starting at 7pm Friday night, Team Spiridon, a local training group, is hosting a benefit concert at Tiniest Bar for empancipet and the Dick Beardsley Foundation–couldn’t decide between animals and people, I guess? Lovers of music, animals, and running will come together for a night inexplicably called Night of the Moustache, featuring a benefit concert…
Hey! Cupcake 2nd Location on Burnet Rd.
While I don’t personally care for Hey! Cupcake’s cupcakes (I MUCH prefer Sugarmama’s), in the interest of keeping up with the cupcake trend I feel obliged to point this out. Hey, Cupcake! opened a second location on Saturday, and this location is in an actual store rather than a silver Airstream on South Congress. But…

Home Slice Carnival O Pizza Noon – 7pm The 3rd annual Carnival O Pizza hosted by Home Slice is this Saturday!…
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…
Sunday Afternoon Veggie Chili Cook-Off
They may bill it as the Vegetarian Chili Cook-Off, but all the chili actually has to be vegan! It’s just $8 to sample all the chilis there, and teams get wild with their booth decorations and themes. Sunday from 12-4 at the Historic Austin Farmer’s Market 6701 Burnet Rd. There are also door prizes, live…
