I had the delight of trying several menu items at Street, the new concept opened by Chinatown. They have several types of Asian cuisine but are focusing on their sushi menu, and it’s impressive! These sushi nachos might sound weird on the menu but they were AMAZING. It comes with freshly cubed salmon, wonton chips, […]

Kolaches and klobasnek’s are considered a Texas treat, but we actually have the Czech to thank for them.

Alright y’all. The search is over. I’ve found the best queso in Austin and you will not believe where it’s from… Soco Bar and Bites in the Embassy Suites Hotel! Their queso is so flavorful, spicy and filled with pico and peppers. You can add avocado, chorizo, or shrimp to it – we went with […]
