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…

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…
National Music Blogger Event
This event is going to be badass all around. Starts out with some of the biggest names in music blogging (hello, Gorilla vs. Bear practically started the blogging movement, then propelled hundreds of bands to national recognition!) talking about how they became mainstrean–so helpful for a blogger, so fascinating for a non-blogger. Then there’s a…
Happy Birthday Jo’s! + a veggie sandwich update
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it’s Halloween. I ended up dressing as Sarah Palin … so didn’t want to, but after four different and unrelated people suggested it, in the end I couldn’t resist. Especially since I owned everything needed except the fake glasses, so how much easier can you get? Anyway, plenty of lists exist for…
Magazine Throwdown Thursday
Are you a Tribeza girl or Austin Monthly man? Because AM is hosting not one but TWO events this Thursday, while the ‘Bez is hosting just one event, and I’m not even sure the drinks are free this time around! Two of the events are just one block apart … oh the drama! Deets: Tribeza…
RUMOR MILL: 12 Gage
I normally just post rumors on the sidebar over there, but this one is too juicy to relegate to the sidelines: Paul Petersen, legendary chef at The Gage Hotel in Marathon (full disclosure: I covered him in a 2007 article in Texas Home & Living) is rumored to be opening a restaurant in Austin called…
