mmm, Hatch Green Chiles!
It's that time again at Central Market. The Hatch Green Chile Festival! Aug 22 - 24 and 29 - 31. For about two weeks, or until they run out, Central Market roasts Hatch Green Chiles from Hatch, NM with native roasters. They also have awesome in-store recipes like Hatch pesto, sausage, quesadillas you name it. I buy a few pounds of the stuff to make hatch migas all year long.

Tis the season of cold desserts
In addition to being a restaurant hound I talked to a few friends about the best desserts in town. Amongst some of the candidates I've received are the cheesecake shake at Katz's deli. The banana pudding at Threadgill's. The espresso milkshake at Much Ado About Coffee. The cheesecake at Gumbo's. Several triple, quadruple, n-tuple chocalate desserts around town, the cinnamon rolls at Upper Crust, Amy's Ice Creams, Cipollina Deli desserts, and desserts at Thistle Cafe. Write me with your must tries...:) ciao.

buurg, err
The dietdemon sent me a note on a restaurant poll for the best burger at citysearch. My favorite place, Dan's, is in second place, next to the sentimental Hut's.

Coffee, coffee, everywhere
While bored on my 40 minute commute down US 183, I took to counting the number of Starbucks (Nasdaq: sbux) franchises along my route. I counted a grant total of eight (8) outlets. The breakdown is 4 standalone shops, two shops in different grocery chains, and two OEMs inside B&N booksellers.

A good place to film Austin
I went to brunch with a few friends at Austin Diner and they were remarking how little Austin changes on Burnet Road between 45th and Anderson Lane. While actually there is a fair amount of business turnover on that stretch of Burnet, there are a few places that seem immune to change like the Upper Crust Bakery, an 80s-style HEB grocery store, an original Arby's and my favorite, the Top Notch hamburger joint. "The Notch" and their grease is a favorite of our law enforcement community from the APD to the Texas DPS.

Don't miss the last performance of macjackdaddy tonight at Maggie Mae's on 6th street. macjackdaddy is a self-proclaimed funky hee-haw rootsy bluesy texas rock band that is awesome and will be missed.
