It has recently occurred to me that I only have two years left in Austin and a whole lot more to experience, particularly in the food department. Before moving here, people told me Austin is a lot like Boulder. I can see some truth to that, but after living here I don't even associate the two anymore. One reason is because of the food. Austin knows food. I feel like Boulderites are too concerned with the latest detox fad (maple syrup and cayenne pepper anyone?) to really do food well. Here in Austin it is a totally different story. My Austin Bucket List now includes stopping at all of the restaurants on the Urban Spoon top 100 list. Here are the ones I've gotten around to so far...
1 The Salt Lick Bar-B-Que (Barbecue) - Delicious if you’re a meat eater, but I'll partake if visitors are in town :)
2 Home Slice Pizza (Pizza) - tasty pizza, very thin crust, great atmosphere
3 Hut's Hamburgers (Burgers) - yum! Love that they give the veggie burger option for everything on their menu!
9 Mandola's Italian Market (Italian) - birthday dinner! Gonna check it out tonight...
10 Trudy's (Southwestern) - Mexican martinis are potent, awesome migas, a frequent spot for seminarians since it is right down the street
12 Clay Pit (Indian) - lunch buffet is amazing
14 Hyde Park Bar & Grill (American) - fries are to die for!
30 Amy's Ice Cream (Desserts/Ice Cream) - awesome ice cream, very fun environment
49 Kerbey Lane Cafe (South Lamar) (American) - an Austin staple, great prices
53 Vivo Cocina Mexicana (Tex-Mex) - Awesome atmosphere, good food, rose at the end of the meal for all women is a sweet touch.
57 Mother's Cafe & Garden (Vegetarian) - very eclectic but fun! It’s nice that it is all vegetarian.
59 Titaya's Thai Cuisine (Thai) - best Thai in town! Awesome service too
86 Kerbey Lane Cafe (Allandale/Brentwood) (American) - best location, love the original but always packed!
97 Kerbey Lane Cafe (University) (American) - good migas, great location (walking distance from our campus)
