the ultimate pie secret
It really is important to eat a balanced meal. And you should definitely balance your meat out with dessert. I’m a huge advocate of pie. See this super deluxe chocolate chip cookie pie I made before? I’m also really into buttermilk pie, key lime...
Stanley’s Famous
Stanley’s Famous Pit Bar-B-Q 525 S Beckham Ave Tyler, TX 75702 I reckon in the past month I’ve received no less than 4 emails from Aussie chefs asking me to hook them up with a BBQ internship in Austin. Austin. Austin. Austin. It’s all the...
Herby K’s
Herby K’s 1833 Pierre Ave Shreveport, LA 71103 Shreveport is probably best known for it’s rather depressing riverfront Casino gambling and houses which appear in the True Blood opening credits. Suffice to say, it’s not Louisiana’s biggest tourist drawcard. I myself ended up there on a...

The Goodnight 2700 W Anderson Ln Austin, TX 78757 It’s extremely difficult to write up The Goodnight without any reference to The Highball, considering they are both bar/lounges serving food, with bowling alleys and karaoke rooms. The main difference is, The Goodnight is still around (as...
Freedmen’s
Freedmen’s 2402 San Gabriel St Austin, TX 78705 I’m really excited about this blogpost. Because I’m really exited about this place. The buzz on Freedmen’s had been intruguing since they first announced their opening in the historic Civil War era building, complete with antique soda...
Greetings from Texas!
Oh, but I’ve been a bad blogger. The owners of St Roch (a great little neighbourhood bar in Austin run by New Orleanians) even told me so when I accidentally met them at another bar. “Oh! You’re the burger girl? Yeah I totally read...
Max’s Wine DIve
Max’s Wine Dive 207 San Jacinto Blvd Austin, TX 78701 Let’s tick off the major strengths of Max’s Wine Dive, shall we? - Despite having multiple locations and effectively being a “chain”, they proudly support local producers and farmers in each local region. -TICK! -...
