A Sandwich A Day: Tongue Buns at East Side King, Liberty Bar, Austin
It's hard to resist ordering something called "tongue bun." One, because it's filled with tongue. Two, because you get to say "tongue bun." Beyond the novelty, though, these are two fine little creatures from East Side King, the trailer from the chefs behind Austin's much raved-about contemporary Japanese restaurant Uchi.Hot Dog of the Week: Reuben Dog from Fricano's Deli in Austin, Texas
Fricano's is an offbeat deli and neighborhood hangout in a strip mall near the University of Texas in Austin. It's a laidback place plastered with artwork and hand-written menus, run by a dedicated group of friends that have taken the business from hidden gem to one of the city's favorite sandwich spots since opening in 2006. Lately they've also developed a following for their crazy hot dogs, made with Boars Head all-beef franks and loaded with homemade toppings.8 Cities and the Dishes They're NOT Known For (But Should Be)
New York is a legendary pizza town. New Orleans has some serious sandwich credibility (po' boys and muffulettas). Check and check. But when searching for the best bites all over the country this year, we found some surprises—mind-blowingly tasty foods thriving in regions we didn't really expect at first. Breakfast pastries in Salt Lake City, hot dogs in Tuscon, and more.La Cocina de Consuelo: The Best Tex-Mex Breakfast in Austin?
The best breakfast tacos and migas in Austin? It was a difficult, tortilla-filled quest. So many taquerias and roadside stands claim to have the best. But we found one of our favorites at La Cocina de Consuelo, where you'll actually see a hair-netted Consuelo, or Connie (Rodriguez), in the kitchen making everything to order. If you get there before 11 a.m., she's wrapping breakfast burritos with her pressed-that-morning tortillas: steamy, chewy, and freckled with tiny brown bubbles.East Side King: Beet Fries and More from a Food Cart in Austin
Beet fries. That's all Robyn and I needed to hear to get us to East Side King when in Austin recently. The food cart, covered in a brightly-painted cyclops design, is nestled in the backyard of an East Austin dive bar, The Liberty. It's yet another mobile food business launched by restaurant chefs: in this case sous chef Paul Qui and sushi chefs Moto Utsonomaya and Ek Timrek from Austin's much raved-about contemporary Japanese restaurant Uchi. It opens nightly from 7 p.m. to 1:45 a.m. and a good chunk of the menu involves the word "fried." Like those beets.Videos: Torchy's Tacos in Austin on VendrTV
Houston Chronicle restaurant critic Alison Cook recently called Torchy's Tacos in Austin home to one of the best tacos she's ever eaten. In honor of today being National Taco Day (yup, October 4 is National Taco Day for some reason), here's a profile of Torchy's from VendrTV. Watch the video and let us know what's the best taco you've ever eaten. And then go eat some tacos.Street Food Profiles: Flip Happy Crepes in Austin, Texas
It's time for another street food profile. This time we chat with the people behind Flip Happy Crepes in Austin, whose menu features sweet and savory crepes. [Photograph: Vo's Photos on Flickr]Street Food Profiles: Chi'Lantro Austin
It's time for another street food profile. This time we chat with Jae Kim of Chi'lantro, a Korean-Mexican fusion truck in Austin with tacos, burritos, quesadillas, hamburgers, hot dogs, and fries on the menu.FoodHeads, Home of Outstanding Soups and the Best Fish Tacos in Austin
Eight-plus years of wheat-intolerance have left me mostly undesirous of glutinous creations, but the sight of a sandwich at FoodHeads often sets off pangs of lust. Fortunately they have more than just sandwiches, including superlative soups, salads, and a number of daily specials. FoodHeads also happens to serve the best fish tacos in Austin, which I confess to ordering more often than not.Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
