They also have wall art by one of my favorite Austin artists, Mike Johnston. They do have a strong double IPA and a fruited blonde ale. It was viciously hot outside, so the Blonde Ale was more my speed. Surprisingly, the IPAs weren’t my absolute favorite on the day we visited Hi Sign Brewing. I would say it’s a best-kept secret, especially since it’s tucked into the neighborhood but everyone in the neighborhood knows how good it is it was packed! It’s been a while since I’ve been there but now I can’t believe it’s been so long because it is fantastic! I enjoyed a slice of pepperoni and mushroom, a Greek salad, and a shortbread cookie. Well, I finally made it! And it was AMAZING! MOIST. I want to go back for a full plate of charred avocado!Įver since Boyfriend came back from the Bahamas with a souvenir rum cake and I got a taste of that deliciousness, I’ve been dreaming about rum cake. They spoiled us with complimentary drinks and an array of snacks, including charred avocado with pickled beet mayo and kale kurikake, carrot hummus, smoked trout dip, and Szechuan chicken wings. I liked their version of the beignet also.įor August’s Austin Food Blogger Alliance Happy Hour, we met up at Chicon. On this occasion, I tried the ham and gruyere croissant and it is now easily my go-to dish. Speaking of pastries, I also love them at Elizabeth St. Kouign amann is my go-to but the croissants are great too. I love a juicy burger! This one at Café No Se did not disappoint! I also love the pastries here. My favorite beer was the Camp Wannamango, a mango pale ale that was divine! Harpoon Brewery is from Boston, so it was fun trying their beers! I had such a fun time at this special event at The Bonneville with Harpoon Brewery! We ate clam chowder, clam steamers, whole lobster, and Boston Crème Pie paired with four of Harpoon Brewery’s beers. New England Seafood Bake at The Bonneville with Harpoon Brewery I’m looking forward to giving them another try. This dish was disappointingly a bust for me but the bite of my friend’s mac-and-cheese stuffed quail was great. īeef Cheek Sandwich with Kimchi at LeRoy and Lewis For now I like Ice Scrapers more but I’ll have to give a final word after I try Holla Mode’s dairy ice cream. I opted for Oreos and fresh strawberries. While Holla Mode has two locations, their 45th Street location only serves dairy-free coconut milk ice cream. I got two tacos – grilled shrimp and blackened black drum fish. They weren’t my favorite but they were still good. Quality Seafood has a wide selection of fish and Tuesdays means fish tacos. It’s going to be very hard not making this a regular stop on the Dallas/Austin road trip. We stopped in Waco for some ice cream when coming back from Dallas and happily enjoyed cookie crumble cones. Sadly, they were out of their “designer donuts” but they had ube (purple yam) soft serve. I didn’t try many new places on this month’s 24-hr trip to Dallas but we did wait in line for late-night soft serve at this buzz worthy ice cream shop. Soft Serve at Sweet Daze Dessert Bar (Dallas) It benefits the Lone Star Paralysis Foundation and includes an A-list lineup of restaurants. The Pay It Forward with Daniel Curtis event has been one of my favorite annual “sip and stroll” events in Austin. Summer time means lots of cold treats (mostly ice cream) and seafood! In August I went to one of my favorite foodie events in Austin, tried a famed burger, a new bbq trailer, and a new brewery! Flavors of the Month is a monthly feature of some of the best dishes and restaurants I enjoyed.
