I scream, you scream… OK I want an ice cream sandwich

Dicky | March 19th, 2010

Only those people who think that ice cream is somehow “unhealthy” don’t love ice cream sandwiches; I think those people are monsters. Read More

Restaurant Trailer Explosion!

Kate | March 18th, 2010

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. Read More

Sausages and Vegan Mexican

Vanessa | March 16th, 2010

There has been an explosion of new restaurants in my neighborhood — San Francisco’s Mission District. Among my favorites are a sausage joint and a new vegan Mexican place — which, oddly enough, I think draw a cross-over crowd.

Stimulation for the mind, body, and skin

Claire | March 4th, 2010

There are some times when it’s fun to go to a show with no real expectations, about what the performer will likely play and/or do, or even what the venue itself will be like.  A subtle blend of anxiety, excitement and curiosity can spark some incredible moments.   Read More

Stumptown Coffee Makes Me Functional EVERY Morning

Sage | March 2nd, 2010

This is the Fabulous Ace Hotel location of one of many Stumptown coffee chains in Portland and Seattle. Locally roasted, it’s among the most delicious coffee I have had, both locally and internationally! Staffed with capable, sweet and sincere people, this place makes my pre-work mornings bearable. :) Try Stumptown, you’ll be a dedicated follower. Read More

Local Bars not Megadisco clubadromes

Paul | February 27th, 2010

The poster above says it better than I can. Clubs are a waste of life. Drinks are expensive, they’re full of kids who should be swearing at old ladies at bus-stops, and it’s a nightmare getting home. There are, however, a couple of bars in Barcelona which I would quite happily trek across town at 3 am to get to for a last drink. Read More

Broccoli rabe w/ garlic confit, maitake, macadamia butter, shaved truffle ($10.)
Cacao and banana handpie w/ spiced walnuts and lychee “buttercream”($5.)

Every Thursday and Saturday nights, the Lung Shan restaurant on Mission Street in Francisco transforms from an average-seeming Chinese joint and to a pop-up candle-lit restaurant serving up incredibly gourmet dishes at shockingly reasonable prices. It’s called Mission Street Food, and it’s the most exciting restaurant in my neighborhood right now. Read More
