These cinnamon buns at the Sunset Valley Farmer's Market make us drool. They're just a sample of the delicious foods available at the market, which takes place every Saturday, rain or shine, at the Toney Burger Center in south Austin.
Sugar Mama's, our favorite little cup-o-cake purveyor on South 1st is offering a free baked good today to anyone who drops by the shop between noon and 8pm with two (or more!) non-perishable food items in tow. All of the donations collected will go straight to the Capital Area Food Bank, which is continually working to end hunger in Central Texas.
It's finally starting to cool off in Central Texas, and we're craving comfort food. One very satisfying place to start is at Moonshine Bar & Grill on Red River, where the green chile macaroni is about as good as it gets. Served with grilled chicken, corn relish and green chile cream, this dish offers all the warmth of a winter dinner from mom, but adds that kick that makes it unforgettable. We recommend this dish with a side of the corn dog shrimp, which are exactly what they sound like (and it's amazing), served with a side of honey mustard and blueberry swirl.
Surrounded by the literal fruits of area vendors' labors, the proclamation that this week shall heretofore be known as Eat Local Week will ring from the booths of the downtown Austin Farmer's Market this morning, accompanied by a 24 carrot salute, trumpeting (or should we say "rooting") in a week of events that highlight the bountiful goodness that is to be had in our fine city.
Cory Ryan gets us in the mood for Cajun comfort food in the form of shrimp and grits. Grab a bowl at Hoover's, and be sure to check the sweets board for dessert - if sweet potato bread pudding is listed, go ahead and loosen your belt a notch to make room.
