In Austin and Eating up a Storm

Austin is amazing, I'm so proud to be from such a cool city.
Here are some of my recent food adventures in Austin:

Franklin BBQ (new food stand)

pork ribs, brisket, pulled pork!!!! :D



Really, really good! I loved the sauces, three types... all really different. One was spicy, one vinegary and the other thick and sweet with espresso!
Good quality meats. The pulled pork was delicious and the brisket was juicy without being too fatty. Oh, and we had the lemon buttermilk pie... more lemon than buttermilk. Loved it.

Whip-In

Pulled pork Naan panini with feta
really good, though I would have liked the pork to have more body..
It was a bit mushed with the bbq sauce




Asti

Creme Brulee with macerated cherries.
Good, though I wasn't crazy about the cherries,
would have like them better had they been fresh.



Pizza with summer squash, ricotta and pesto! :D
Light as far as pizza goes. Really loved it.



My salmon with roasted cauliflower,
really good except for the olive tapenade
(I don't like olives...so that makes sense)

More adventures to come!
