Food of Austin, Part 2

This final batch of food photos were taken over two days. Most of the eating took place outside in 100-degree heat. Was it worth it? Yes. Would I do it again? I’d prefer not to.

The mmmpanadas truck’s BBQ Chopped Beef empanada. Pair that with some Mexican Coca-Cola and it was a very good breakfast.

Food of Austin, Part 1

While in Austin, I spent a lot of time sampling all the city had to offer in the way of food. This first batch of photos covers one day’s worth of meals.

The first stop of the afternoon was at Hole in the Wall, a dive bar just across the street from the University of Texas-Austin campus. This chorizo taco was pretty spicy and very tasty.

Avec, Part 1

In Chicago for a few days (because I can), I went to Paul Kahan’s Avec on the Near West Side for an absolutely awesome meal – well, a light meal since I was a little full from lunch when I walked in. A pity, really, since there were so many things that looked like they would be worth trying. Ah well, next time!

Big Apple Barbecue Block Party, Part 1

The weekend of June 7th was the 6th Annual Big Apple Barbecue Block Party at Madison Park. As always, the food offerings were good, genuine barbecue – smoky, flavorful, and filling. If it hadn’t been the first day of a heat wave, we might have stayed and had more than two plates of food.
