Me Gusta Gusto’s
I love Italian food and I particularly enjoy innovative Italian food. Austin is starting to get a lot of bistros serving various interpretations of classic dishes, but I love the food at a tried and true place, Gusto on Burnet Road – just north of 45th St.

Bye Bye Wahoo’s, Hello La Barbecue
I liked Wahoo’s on South Congress, but it was never busy and the place seemed a little ratted out. La Barbecue is effin’ delicious.

The Reality of Cheating (On a Diet)
Oh, admit it! You’ve done it once or twice. I’ve decided that being healthy means allowing myself to have a spontaneous, unhealthy treat now and then. You only live once, so they say.

I Can’t See a Thing!
People are always looking for new and unique experience no matter what city they live in. I’ve heard about the blind experience in cities like New York or L.A., but never in Austin. Quite frankly, I think it is a wild idea, albeit a very disconcerting one. I’m a bit of a control freak, in that I like to know what is going on and the situation around me. I kind of envelope myself in surroundings I feel very aware about. This would be quite outside of my comfort space, but I’d be willing to push myself.

Midtown Mexican; La Mancha Tex Mex on Hancock
Service Manager, Joey Carmona, always serves up a great time at La Mancha Tex Mex Tavern on Hancock. I entertained a few friends for a weeknight dinner and we sampled a number of items from the menu: street tacos, quesadillas, and fajita tacos. All were superb. The street tacos a bit heavy on cilantro, but the meat was very tender and quite flavorful. I would be remiss if I failed to suggest the infused tequila. Tonight’s medley featured tequila infused with jalapeño and pineapple. It was smooth, delicious and took the edge off of a rough Tuesday.
