How did Texas finish in the 51st slot when there are only 50 states? Because Washington, DC was included in the survey that determined what states exhibited the most dedication to the locavore movement.
The locavore index uses "census and U.S. Department of Agriculture data, along with a per capita comparison of farmers' markets, consumer supported agriculture operations (CSAs) and food hubs in ranking the states."
Part of the lifeblood of any die hard Texas barbecue lover has to be barbacoa. I'll never forget my first taco way back in the early 90s when I ventured up to a little barbacoa cart on North Lamar near where T&S Seafood is now.
My life has not been the same since.
An altered existence via one taco.
When we put the Smiling Tiger designation on one of our pop up restaurant events, it means it's going to a little more over the top than our normal bacchanals.
The keg will be a little colder, the sous vides will see a little heavier action, there will be live djs spinning fat slabs of Texas vinyl, and there will be a shootout.
Gary Dinges, over on the Statesman site is reporting that Trader Joe's, the controversial small box grocery from Pasadena California is going to be taking over the space vacated by Sak's 5th Avenue in Northwest Austin.
Marianna Peeler is running a tight ship down in Floresville, Texas. When we began ruminating on what the backbone of our latest pop up restaurant would be we didn't have to think for long.
The pic belies the nature of what we're calling "the worst brisket" in Austin, Texas

Afrika Bambaataa was busy so we had to think fast. We got word to Eric Static that we needed a dj for the Smiling Tiger pop up restaurant we booked at Tamale House East, and he came through in a big way.
John Wesley Coleman will be spinning pure Texas vinyl along with Eric Static at the biggest Spring feast East Austin has ever seen.
If eating big plates of chow whilst listening to Doug Sahm, Ernest Tubb and Willie Nelson is amenable to you then come on out.
Here's a bio of the men who will be manning the turntables on Saturday April 13th at 7pm:

Another week where this feature could've easily had 20 entries. Austin food bloggers have risen from dormancy, and are posting daily, and sometimes hourly! Great to see so many active bloggers taking a break from the color TV to actually get some work done.
The food always tastes better if you have to cross a set of railroad tracks to get at it. One of our all time favorite barbecue houses was in Leeds, Alabama, and to even think about getting there you had to motor down gravel roads and cross at least 3 sets of railroad tracks.
