It comes in waves. Last week's edition of the best Austin food blogs took a solid 2 hours of research. This week took 15 minutes as Austin food bloggers went buck wild with heavy posting all around, save the dormant Tasty Touring blog. We could've made this article 20 posts long such was the fecund state of Austin's blogosphere.

Shuttered Zed's Restaurant Executive Chef Jacob Hilbert Arrested by Lone Star Fugitive Task Force

Mar 29

posted by RL Reeves Jr in Can't Be Categorized

The plot thickens at Zed's, the awful, shuttered North Austin restaurant that had a multi-year run in spite of routinely putting out food that beggared the imagination.

Lone Star Fugitive Task Force swooped in on Jacob Hilbert and wife Lynda Kaye Hilbert in North Austin last night.

The Hilbert's had been on the run from North Carolina where they stand accused of embezzling over 100k from Ends Meat LLC (Manna Restaurant.)

Jacob Hilbert had been celebrated in Wilmington, first at Tango du Chat, and Santa Fe New Mexico at A La Mesa restaurant prior to his "mysterious disappearance"

Austin Daily Photo: Pambazos At La Fruta Feliz

Mar 26

posted by RL Reeves Jr in Austin Daily Photo

Two recent visits to La Fruta Feliz reconfirmed what we've known for years. This is the brick and mortar apogee of authentic Mexican cooking in Austin, Texas.

A breakfast trip netted some very fine chivo (goat barbacoa) as well as carnitas tacos on splendid, hand-rolled corn tortillas, while a repeat afternoon visit found us on the business end of a glorious Pambazo, a Mexican hoagie, dipped in chile sauce then griddled to a luscious turn.

Birth Notice: Whistlers From Lustre Pearl Veteran Scranton Twohey

Mar 26

posted by RL Reeves Jr in Birth Notice

We've been wondering about the transformation of Rabbit's Lounge on East 6th street for awhile now so we decided to drop in and talk with the construction crew to see if they'd be willing to let us in on the project.

They were.

Spider House Goes Into The Cabaret Business With Lex Land And Antonelli's Cheese

Mar 25

posted by RL Reeves Jr in Can't Be Categorized

North campus mainstay Spider House is hosting a Lex Land dinner cabaret with foods from Antonelli's Cheese Shop. We were ignorant of Lex Land but a quick jaunt down the Tumblr rabbit hole proved that this gal has some serious pipes.

Apparently there's a TV show called The Voice where she acquitted herself admirably prior to being ousted.

If a night of wine, cheese and sultry vocals is your bag, gas up the Fiero, coax your ol lady into that dusty Dior gown she never gets to wear and act like it's Saturday night in a proper city. Prices range from $30 to $150.

With the cabaret life of the Weimar Republic nearly a century in the rear view mirror perhaps Austin is on the threshold of a re-imagining of this genre?

Another monster week. We keep wondering when this site will plateau but for right now we're breaking traffic records weekly. We just crested 1000 subscribers which would be reason for closure at Huffington Post but around French Place, Texas it's cause to celebrate. Thanks for checking out the site y'all. While it's certainly true that we're only in it for the money y'all don't seem to mind.

Birth Notice: The Rebirth Of Quickie Pickie

Mar 25

posted by RL Reeves Jr in Austin Craft Beer, Birth Notice

In keeping with the modern state of foodways in East Austin, the renaissance of long running curb store Quickie Pickie will feature local foods in the cafe, local beers on the tap wall and perhaps an aviary off to one side featuring only the finest local chickens?

A month or so ago we were motoring toward Rosewood Avenue when we spotted a gang of construction workers descending on the corner of East 11th and Lydia. Always curious, we popped into the old time quick mart to see what was going on with the hubbub.
