Yeah, the flyer pretty much says it all. Really wish I was in town for this, love trying new beers! Plus look at the food sponsors … A smidge more: Jeffrey Stuffings, a homebrewer with dreams of going pro, has started raising funds to make those dreams come true. Operating under the name of Jester…

Highball Soft Opening Tonight – Everyone is Invited
Normally “Soft Openings” are for friends and family and other invited guests. But given that Highball, Tim & Karrie League’s new bowling-karaoke-diner venue next to its South Lamar Alamo Drafthouse, has created a flyer for the event, we’re pretty sure everyone is invited. And that they must have worked the kinks out weeks ago when…
New 34th Street Cafe Happy Hour Starts Sept 8
In a city that surprisingly lacks GREAT happy hours (aside from TRIO and Imperia, of course), a new deal is a welcome addition. Especially in the “Midtown” area, where, exempting the Triangle, few restaurants mess with a happy hour. Enter Brykerwoods’ 34th Street Café’s new happy hour, starting next week. At less than a mile…
UPDATED with Video – Ford 2010 Taurus Meetup: 2 Reactions
I’ve got two different opinions that sprang from the 2010 Ford Taurus Meetup Sunday at Opal Divine’s, and both I agree with. Here we go (originally posted on AustinPost.org) Frank says: Ford Tackles Consumer Confidence: Can It Really Be as Good as Foreign Cars? I was 16, looking at buying my first car, and the…
Sushi Zushi Opens Today!
… but I snuck in for the soft opening Saturday night and enjoyed some fantastic rolls amongst a few kinks to be worked out. Behold, the rolls: Sushi Zushi is a chain with outposts in Dallas and San Antonio; their Dallas-monikered Oak Lawn Roll was easily our favorite–and recommended by the server. It’s on the…
Frozen Yogurt is the New Cupcake
It’s bad. It’s the new trend. And I’m totally on the bandwagon. My new frozen yogurt obsession started with an innocuous trip to the MamboBerry trailer on South Congress, where they serve yogurt that is frozen. Absurd delicious. The whole fam, including the Cali Aunt and Uncle, loved it. Tart and sour with nuts and…
Let’s Talk About Brunches
In honor of today being Monday, the day after Sunday, which is unofficial official Brunch Day, let’s talk about brunches. I’ve raved about the Four Seasons’ brunch more times than I can count, and Moonshine’s too. I was on quite the brunch kick for a little while, but athletics and sleeping have gotten in the…

Annie’s Grand Opening Tomorrow
Annie’s has gotten lots of buzz lately from foodies and old-timers who miss Apple Annie’s, a 26-year-old restaurant that spent a year catering-only and then reopened its doors as Annie’s just last week. Now (and by now I mean tomorrow, Wednesday, from 10:30am-3pm) is the time for the Grand Opening Celebration. There’ll be a ribbon-cutting…
Milano Cafe is a European Haven in Austin
Let’s work backwards: I don’t usually get dessert, but when they bring you a tiny plate with four bites of four different desserts, you don’t refuse. And when charming owner Sami Demi proceeds to tell you how Croatian tirimisu has 1/4 the calories of other tirimisus, and you don’t even like tirimisu, but you try…
