UT Longhorns versus Wyoming
Saturday was the first home game for the UT Longhorns against Wyoming. Game time was not until 6 PM which gave plenty of time to tailgate, eat and drink lots of beer. Some of my favorite places were the Saint Arnold Brewery and the Royal’s Lounge tent. Both are around the 18th and Trinity area. [...]
The Best Wurst Permit Renewal
In case you have not heard The Best Wurst who has operated at the corner of San Jacinto and 6th street since 1993 is in jeopardy of losing their permit to operate in that location due to the desire of Parkside restaurant to occupy the area. Not quite a David versus Goliath but it is [...]
Austin Wine & Music Festival 2010

Green Pastures Restaurant, Austin TX
As soon as I pulled into the driveway at Green Pastures I knew that I was about to be treated to great food in a spectacular setting. The first thing you notice as you get out of your car is the flock of peacocks. Depending on their mood you very soon come to know that [...]

Pecan Street Festival Austin Texas 2008
We only had a little time to spend here since it was prior to a Longhorn game but it was pretty cool. It was crowded but there was plenty to do if there was not such an important football game to go to. There were 4 dollar beers that you could buy and drink on [...]
