We've been on a Vietnamese jag of late. This used to mean multiple trips to Tam Deli and Baguette House, but nowadays we content ourselves with hitting the test kitchen to develop formulae for our recipe binder.
After the runaway success of our Vietnamese Collard Greens article, we realized that we needed to be cooking and writing about more southeast Asia cuisine.
Enter the Vietnamese Bison meatloaf:
After an exhaustive morning calling a bunch of "craft beer" bars who were blissfully unaware of any sort of American Craft Beer Week promotion, we finally managed to wrangle a special to help fuel y'alls celebrations.
At Dog n Duck Pub, the venerable west Capital drinking institution all Austin craft beer pints range from $3-$3.50 tonight. We're still recuperating from the shell shocking we took at their powerhouse Aussie music night a few years ago when the Saints and HooDoo Gurus levelled the joint, so we'll probably sit this one out. Given the prime hunk of land the bar sits on, we're predicting the bulldozers will be revving up soon enough, so get by while you can. 406 w.17th st.
And that's about it.
With an imprimatur of only featuring non-liquor serving bars that are featuring Texas-only draft beer that wraps today's edition up.
Back with more tomorrow.

We're celebrating National BBQ month by rifling through old smoked meat archives, and reading about the famously combative Taylor, Texas pit boss John Mueller.
Will he emerge as the consensus number one on the highly anticipated Texas Monthly Top 50 BBQ list?
It starts today.
American Craft Beer Week is going off all over Austin as our town's explosive craft beer scene is celebrated nightly in bars and taverns across town.
Watch out for all the drunks on fixies around 2am each night.
Really, really missing Lovejoys right now.
We're paying homage to the origins of the American hamburger at our next pop up restaurant (number 11) as we prepare spot-on copies of the four best claimants to being the inventor of the archetype.

Charlie Nagreen was only 15 years old when he invented the hamburger. And he did so from an ox-drawn food cart in Seymour, Wisconsin.
It's 1885, and Nagreen is hard at work selling meatballs at the Outagamie County Fair. Trouble is, a lot of folks don't like the inconvenience of walking and eating the cumbersome food stuffs, so Nagreen's business is suffering.

Happy Mother's Day Y'all.
Take your mom to Four Seasons and celebrate this august day in style.
We began our epic quest to find the best hamburger in Austin 2 years ago today with a visit to West 6th Street.
"I eat way too many burgers. I like the thin, flat griddled patties at Sandy's Custard. I like the charcoal burgers at Top Notch up on Burnet Road. I like the old timey burgers at Mike's Pub in downtown. I used to love to ride my bike down to Del Rio and eat wood fired burgers at TB's."

Our night at Twin Peaks was not a fruitful one. Years back, one of the Scrumptious crew decided we needed to visit the sexy lumberjack-themed Twin Peaks in south Austin for a night of merriment and cage fight-watching.
The joint was absolutely packed on a Saturday night so we retired to the patio where I had a once in a lifetime restaurant experience.
The waitress did not want to accept US currency.
