Announcing the Food Bloggers Guide to Austin
Well, maybe re-announcing. As is becoming more common, I am a day late and a dollar short. But here it is none-the-less. And it is AWESOME!
Anyway, as I mentioned, SXSW is coming to Austin in the following week and I wanted to blast a guide devised by Natanya of Fete and Feast and other wonderful writers in the Austin food scene. There are a great list of posts for all types of food to enjoy while visitng Austin, with some of the best restaurants listed and some links to great deals throughout Austin.
Now for my personal welcome to SXSW -
Welcome to Austin! There are a few items of note I would like to bring up while you are here. Minor things really, but noticable things none-the-less.
- Speed limit on 620 from Hudsons Bend to Canyon Creek is 65 MPH. If you don’t feel comfortable driving that fast, or just enjoying the views, stick to the right lane and let the locals pass. It’s far too fun for us to drive 620 and not pass others.
- “Keep Austin Weird” is a motto. We live it everyday, and we love it. You will experience a varied group of people here (probably including, but not exclusive to, the aged Rastafarian that I found walking 7th Street and playing the recorder today to absolutely no one but himself). We love our diversity. You should too. And don’t be surprised if the person serving your food in a fine restaurant has more body art than the Illustrated Man. They probably have an IQ in excess of 130 and could discuss the most obscure subjects with a vast intelligence. Tip them handsomely.
- We have Tex-Mex and Barbeque by the bucket load. We have perfected it. Thus, we have moved on in our culinary adventures to perfect others as well. Enjoy as much of it all as you can. Follow the Food Bloggers Guide.
- Have fun. After all, that is why you are here.
Cheers!
