Serious Eats: thefoodporncess's Profile

Need Great Austin Eats!

Lulu Bs is a new trailer at Oltorf and South Lamar with Bahn Mi, Summer rolls and vermicelli. Hot Dog King at 8th and Red River at night kicks serious butt as well. Torchy's Tacos (Two locations on South First, one on West 6th) has decent tacos, Whole Foods Market at 6th and Lamar is amazing as well (and has a little bit of everything). The afore mentioned P. Terry's and Flip Happy are also great places.

For fancy stuff, Uchi is great but will probably have long waits, Starlite on Colorado is outstanding, as are Restaurant Jezebel on Congress and Aquarelle on (I'm not sure...West maybe?).

Azul, the sandwich place is now closed, but Azul Tequila, an interior Mexican place, is supposed to be good. Sazon on South Lamar is awesome for Mexican too.

Cook the Book: 'Roast Chicken and Other Stories'

I swear by Thomas Keller's method on Epicurious. Perfect every time (I leave off the butter and thyme) and I've passed it on to many people who love it as much as I do.

Kale Chips: Healthy Alternative to Potato Chips

Too funny, I just discovered these and have been making them quite a bit. And I'm going to be making them again tonight. Yay me!

Dinner Tonight: Bourdain's Mushroom Soup

This is a good recipe. I tend to mess with it a little bit by adding some dried mushrooms and their soaking liquid, just because I like a little stronger taste.

And Blake, I must respectfully disagree about roast chicken being an art. I use Keller's method and it's the easiest, no brainer thing in the world. I've turned a ton of friends onto it, and when I make it for people, they swoon. So simple, my dog could do it :)

Gone but not forgotten

Carnation Breakfast Bars, and not the chewy ones that came out at the end of their reign, but the Peanut Butter Crunch, or the Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter flavors. My college roommate and I lived on these things. We've done extensive internet searches to find out why/who we can contact about bringing these things back.

Also, Morton's Cinnamon Donuts (too funny, we were just talking about these at work the other day) and those Howard Johnson's Corn Toasty things.
