Austin: Two More Brunch Options: Zed’s & TRACE
Zed’s, the new North Austin dining destination serving modern, casual Austin-American fare, recently introduced an expansive Sunday brunch buffet (which, as you know, is what I think ALL brunches should be). Zed’s brunch is served from 11am to 3pm every Sunday. The kid-friendly menu includes made-to-order omelets, a meat-carving station, waffles with assorted fruit toppings, and…
Austin: Uchi the Cookbook Released!
Uchi Chef and Owner Tyson Cole pretty much owns sushi in Austin, but it’s not just sushi.

Austin: New Restaurant backspace means pizza
I get a lot of press releases, and a lot of food-related press release (something about loving to eat …?). Anyway, a lot of times I save them until I can go visit the restaurant in question, using the info to write a photo-filled blog post about what I liked and didn’t. Rarely do I…
ACL: Eating Guide
Eating with me is a challenge, I will freely admit. I want free-range happy meat, chicken, milk, and eggs. I don’t want white bread, I probably don’t want whole wheat bread, I definitely don’t want corn (unless it’s a tortilla chip) or beans or soy. I don’t want fake sugar, or agave, or real sugar…
Aspen: Shop and Eat in New Places!
New places to shop (I still love Susie’s): WeSC, which stands for “WeAretheSuperlativeConspiracy”, opened its Aspen concept store this August. The Swedish born street-fashion brand is designed “For intellectual slackers,” it means for hipsters with cash to spend and attitude to spare (461 East Hopkins). Courage. B boutique will open “soon” and specialize in fashionable women’s…
Aspen: Oktoberfest. In September. Whatever.
Maybe it’s a smidge odd that the Second Annual Oktoberfest in Aspen is being celebrated at the end of September … but nonetheless, the Wienerstube celebrates German traditions with live music, authentic Austrian and Bavarian food, and, naturally, beer! wienerstube.com, 970.925.3357
