The city of Austin is a lovely swirl of activity these days. When I first moved here three and a half years ago, there were three places to eat after 10 PM, one easily accessible Indian restaurant, and a handful of restaurants offering local ingredients. Now the city seems overrun with tiny, new trailers offering a wild range of items at all hours of the day and night.
Of this massive crop of new spots, three have become regular staples in my outings diet.

Odd Duck Farm-to-Trailer is a ridiculously affordable trailer in wacky south Austin that serves up small dishes using exclusively local ingredients. The menu changes daily, and they supposedly cook using every possible part of the local animals they’ve butchered. Wowza.

G’raj Mahal serves completely authentic Indian food until late in the night from a quaint trailer just south of the major downtown hotspots. Tucked away in one the oldest neighborhoods in Austin, this open air restaurant will deliver on funky art bike to any local bar if you ask.

Nestled adjacent to Odd Duck is the fabulously indugent Gourdough’s donut trailer. This is the yang to Odd Duck’s healthy yin! I have heard that the bacon-topped Flying Pig donut (with maple dressing) is heart attacking inducing sheer bliss.

I can’t wait to see what’s around the corner for this hotbed of new eating activity…
