I’m not big on certifications (not looking at Organic, cough, cough, or anything …). However, in the dirty-hippie aka clean beauty movement, the widely-recognized authority has always been the Environmental Working Group, so when they release a cert, it’s worth mentioning. (Also worth mentioning: I do NOT agree with all of the EWG’s positions or…

Austin: DO IT – GO RAW at MOOJESUS!

The store – you walk in to an airy, all-windowed place with bright green floors, bamboo counters and tables, white plastic chairs, and bright orange accoutrements. There are no walls, save some muddled clear walls defining a main office and registered dietician’s office. That’s right–there’s a full…
Ahh, spicy: Dulce Vida Tequila
There’s a new tequila in town, and it ain’t like those other vaqueros. Dulce Vida tequila is pure, plain and simple: it’s 100-proof, nothing but the distilled juice of organic agave plants from Mexico. No sugars, no water, no vodka to cut it; it’s just tequila. (Pictured: Dulce Vida Reposado, aged for a year in…

Dai Due & Hotel Saint Cecilia
Dai Due is this Supper Club type deal that has this crazy cult following. Their Dinners book up way in advance, and it’s basically just two people cooking a dinner where you don’t necessarily know what you’re getting at a location you don’t necessarily know before you book. They range from $45 and up. The…
Sagra … do you have _____? Oh, you do?
This was me at Sagra for lunch today. There’s been some buzz around the place recently for its Recession lunches, a menu of Under-$10 specials, so I decided to check it out (with my dad–hey, why spend even $10 when you don’t have to?!). In a cute little house on the corner of 17th &…
