When I first heard of Barrel, I thought I had it all figured out – its very name is the sacred aging vessel for America’s spirit and the menu offered fried chicken with bourbon peach jam. It was Southern and clearly where I needed to be. When I first sat […]
Anyone who’s ever conversed with me knows I ADORE my old Kentucky home. I adore our college basketball tradition (Go Cards!), Derby, beer cheese, biscuits, but most of all, I adore the bourbon. Spending an entire fall on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail is one of my life’s most beautiful experiences, so this […]
For the nine-to-fivers downtown, happy hours often become late nights, which often lead to hungover mornings, which often results in “I need an omelet inside a breakfast burrito rolled into a pancake.” Unfortunately, late-night/early-morning breakfast whenever spots are in short supply. Nestled between Nooshi and Science Club on 19th street, […]
Firstly, what is a kolache? All you need to know is that it a Czech pastry with sweet or savory fillings, first brought by immigrants to Texas in the mid 1800’s. And it’s delicious. Every Texan worth his/her worth should know the “national pastry of Texas” J – it’s a […]

Small batch orders are their speciality allowing the users custom logo, or one of their choosing, to shine. Perfect for holiday gifts, corporate events, birthdays, weddings, or just […]
Opened in 2013 and tucked in a non-descript nook just behind the convention center – not quite Shaw, but certainly not downtown – Table has been wowing guests for almost two years. The clean modern exterior is a stark contrast to the older row houses along side the restaurant with […]
Often overlooked with the onslaught of new establishments crowding out the popular 14th Street corridor, those in the know, know that Saint Ex is a neighborhood favorite with amazing food. When we’re craving something hearty for brunch (and an outdoor patio when it’s warmer), we head to Saint Ex and […]

Last night, the National Restaurant Association hosted an event to highlight and celebrate the regional ingredients Chile has to offer. Every patron and […]
