A Sandwich a Day: Seared Beef Tongue at Noble Pig in Austin
Cedar Park, a northwest suburb of Austin is home to Noble Pig, a small, unassuming deli-like shop that boasts delicious specialty sandwiches. It seems to be getting easier and easier to find beef tongue in and around Austin as more chefs are featuring it, and more customers grow to understand the beauty of this organ meat.A Sandwich a Day: James Hetfield at Rockin' Rolls in Austin, Texas
Austin has its fair share of food trailers nestled amongst the bars along East 6th, where a night of drinking and live music requires a nutritious snack before riding your fixie home to a less cooler part of town. Just across from the more famous East Side Drive-in, in a smaller grouping of food trucks you'll find Rockin' Rolls, where they bake up rich brioche-like rolls daily and fill them with rockstar-inspired ingredients that seems very fitting for our music-centric town.A Sandwich a Day: Lucky's Puccia in Austin, TX
La puccia is flatbread from the region of Puglia in Italy. Lucky's Puccia bakes each puccia to order, slices them open while still hot and fills them with fresh ingredients. I've never eaten a puccia here I didn't like, but I keep coming back to the namesake sandwich, Lucky's Puccia, which layers juicy slices of prosciutto, fresh mozzarella, stacks of spicy arugula, and gloriously red ripe tomatoes. Some drizzled basil oil and spicy chipotle mayo adds a little moistness.A Sandwich a Day: Tipsy Texan at Franklin BBQ in Austin
I arrived at Franklin BBQ in Austin at 9:30 a.m. It opens at 11 a.m. It's regularly sold-out of barbecue by 1 p.m., sometimes earlier. I was a woman on a mission, along with about 50 other people who quickly filled the porch behind me. I'll quickly dispense with the questions you're asking yourself. Yes, Franklin BBQ is worth a ninety-minute wait—though I suggest you get there early enough to snag a place in the shade. And yes, the Tipsy Texan sandwich ($6.50) (sausage on brisket withcole slaw and pickles, on a bun) is worth ordering, even though it's difficult to save room for anything other than Franklin's ribs and brisket.A Sandwich a Day: Fried Oyster from Turf n' Surf Po' Boys in Austin
Turf n' Surf Po' Boys is a funky food cart in downtown Austin with a shipping container as a kitchen decorated with peace signs, a fishing net, and surf board. It's one of those places that makes you think, shoot, Austin, you truly are a special place. Most of the menu can come in either po' boy or taco form. Since this is not the Taco a Day column (!), we ordered the Fried Oyster Po' Boy.A Sandwich a Day: Pulled Pork Torta from Izzoz Tacos in Austin, TX
Even if you come to Izzoz (pronounced eee-zoz) Tacos with the best intentions of ordering tacos, you may leave the cart with a pulled pork torta ($6.50), which is fine (as long as you also try the tacos at some point). The pork is juicy, slightly sweet and smoky with a punch of heat; it's been slow-roasting overnight with ancho chiles.Market Scene: Downtown Austin Farmers' Market
We caught the tail end of the Austin Farmers' Market in Republic Square Park on a recent Saturday. It was nearly 12:45 p.m. so we had to sprint-shop before closing time, but we still had a chance to chat with farmers and pizza-makers while they were breaking down their booths. Check out the whimsical selection of kraut, beautiful heirloom tomatoes, and the "Godfather" pie from Bola Pizza's mobile wood-fired oven.A Sandwich a Day: Drunken Sandwich at DiverCity Grill, Austin
Plenty of meats are advertised as beer-marinated; in the Drunken Sandwich at Austin food cart DiverCity (get it?), we could actually taste the beer with the short rib.Weirdest Sausage We've Ever Eaten: Rattlesnake and Rabbit at Wurst Tex in Austin
We're suckers for novelty, which may explain why we got so excited about the "Predator and Prey" at the Wurst Tex cart in Austin, a rattlesnake and rabbit sausage (!) with peppers and onions on a long bun. What's the weirdest sausage you've ever eaten? And did you enjoy the experience?Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
