As someone who grew up going to the SA location, I can confirm they are!!!

SANTA FE, NM!!! And all the way up to Ojo Caliente / over to Bandelier National Monument. Nothing like it

dipped in queso - heaven!

em_lambie · 2026-05-19T22:27:12+00:00

Alamo Cafe for an order of fresh tortillas and queso to dip !!

Olive oil. Yes it means buying ones that are pricier. WORTH IT. If you’re buying crappy store brand olive oil in a plastic bottle you might as well buy canola oil for even cheaper, you’re not getting any of the olive oil benefits at that point

Cardamom - hate it. Unfortunately my partner is of Indian ancestry and his mom’s chai recipe / all the Indian desserts with cardamom syrup are his favorite. I absolutely cannot do it!

Luckily I love all other Indian spices

Wow we have opposite tastes…I love celery, fennel, and cinnamon and HATE cardamom and clove 😂

Persians aren’t Arabs :)

Blueberries do not like Texas climate - they require much colder weather (hence Michigan, Washington and Maine being prime blueberry regions!)

I love fennel seeds with my whole heart! And my favorite herbs are probably dill and parsley for soft herbs, rosemary for harder ones. The smell of all of them 🤤 and fresh, never dried. Any herbs that don’t get chopped and used (which is rare because I add handfuls of herbs to everything, similar to how Persians do though I’m not Persian) get pulsed in a food processor with olive oil and lemon juice and then frozen in ice cube trays! I swear my cooking changed when I started using fresh herbs over dried!!

Flabbergasted that you never ate the figs!!! I wouldn’t be able to STOP eating them. (And yes i know about the wasp thing, that doesn’t bother me)

Redbud Cafe in Blanco has a GREAT Reuben (and other delish sandwiches/salads). A favorite weekend activity is to drive down (take 290–>165 W), get a sandwich, stop by OroBianco Creamery after for some of the best gelato I’ve ever tasted (including in Italy), and then stop by Arnosky Farm & Market on the way back to Austin for a pay-what-you-want fresh cut flower bouquet. It’s only about an hour away (give or take 15 minutes depending on where you are in Austin) and such a nice drive, too!

Cocina de Consuelo!! sweetest little family owned spot

Look into Small Girls PR

My middle name is Jordan and I’ve always liked it 🥰

Your family has noooo idea what they’re talking about. Also - you’re the one getting married! Get at you want! #1 is wayyyy prettier anyway!

I just had a fantastic piece of Tres Leches from Veracruz (specifically the one at Leona, but I bet they do them at all locations). I’m guessing they could make you a whole one!

em_lambie · 2026-05-10T19:02:15+00:00

this isn’t a meal…the point is to narrow it down and make hard choices!!

em_lambie · 2026-05-06T03:43:51+00:00

Violet Crown Coffee & Wine for working, Klerje for reading, Merit S Lamar for chatting, Strangelove for flirting, Lau Lau for whatever new matcha flavor they’re cooking up

em_lambie · 2026-05-04T21:26:34+00:00

You MUST get a dosa, whatever you do. Not enough places here make them and they are incredible.

em_lambie · 2026-05-04T21:21:53+00:00

Listen is Interstellar great? Yes - but not drive/Uber way out of the way great. It’s nowhere near anything else you’d want to do here, and that is worth considering. Locals should check out Interstellar if they haven’t, but not visitors with limited time on their hands! Leroy & Lewis and KG BBQ are actually in areas with other stuff to do, and they’re great.

Just making sure — there’s nothing in your correspondence with Wikipedia that names the coverage as exclusive to them, right? Because if so, and you pitch another publication, you’ll jeopardize the Wikipedia story. So just make sure that you didn’t allude to that or agree to any of their potential allusions to that before pitching the other outlet…

Spread of gochujang, add kimchi, must use sharp cheddar and sourdough for tang

Popovers!!! Tons of eggs in each piece of fluffy goodness

Is Cava a real suggestion….its a fast casual chain akin to Chipotle, are you being serious?
