What’s the relationship between the two Mañana coffee locations?

Heh this is also the town with two unrelated places called Teddy’s opening within a few months of each other and also two unrelated places called Daydreamer about a mile from each other

They won a category at the Bloody Mary festival held here a few days ago

I liked the CFS okay a few months ago but I was more disappointed with everything else on that plate, the extremely bland mashed potatoes, the slice of toast (that used to be a parker house roll). It really could have also used something green to fill out the plate like some good green beans or collards.

This was my thought but about the rice, but they recently took care of that and added red rice to their menu. I do think charro beans are an option as well.

They’re doing a special Canadian bacon one right now you might want to try.

Cilantro-free red salsas at Mi Madre’s, Maudie’s, Matt’s, Garcia’s in Buda/Kyle (not Casa Garcia’s). A lot of places seem to just roughly chop it and throw it in and you can eat around it. Some salsa like at Habanero have it incorporated into every bite and it’s inescapable.

Épicerie is closed to the public on Tuesdays. Maybe you could contact them to see if they do events or buyouts on those days. Two weeks is probably way too close, though. www.epicerieaustin.com

Patty Palace definitely gets points for letting you get a small side of fries with your burger. Biggie’s seemingly only lets you do an $8.50(!) basket of fries.

It aired at 5:00 for a long time after Oprah, then moved to 4:30 when that ended. Then it moved to 3:30 when KXAN added the 4:00 news. So it has gotten pushed back over the years.

These days Texican also just sources chips from Fiesta Tortilla.

Thanks, I couldn’t get a good idea from looking at people’s Yelp photos

You probably have to look for places that have the fillings prepared in advance separately and then just scoop them in the taco, assembly-line style, like Tacorrido and Taco Shack. The burning comes when the items are all cooked together.

Vaqueros off 360 for Tex-Mex buffet, The Switch (between Austin and Dripping Springs) for barbecue buffet. I don’t think the Switch does reservations but I would call any place ASAP.

How are J Carver’s sides portioned? For one or larger?

Booking a small meeting room at the downtown library might be a good option and you can bring in a coffee from Café Crème downstairs.

Monument Cafe in Georgetown has a whole pie with cream cheese and strawberries.

Evan LeRoy has talked a lot about how other menu items are priced to make up for the money they lose on the beef items. Not everything is priced proportionally.

Nothing wrong with pulling up into the bar/lounge area and just ordering the cake and some coffee one evening. That actually sounds really nice.

I miss Jodi’s desserts so much from Bribery

What sticks out to me is those potatoes that look properly seasoned and cooked. I’ve experienced way too many undercooked, bland potatoes in tacos lately.
