Brunch: the perfect weekend meal. You sleep in, roll out, and eat the best kinds of foods at a different and superior hour than the rest of the week. Anything that involves the illicit acts of consuming loads of carbohydrates and drinking firewater before noon while not at a sporting event has our votes. There are a number of places that one can find such a wondrous meal, ranging from holy-fuck-that's-expensive to the hey-sure-bring-your-dog. We've......

Then we usually fall off a barstool, bang our heads on the ground and wake up on a friend's couch hours later. Something similar happened to......

This past July 4th at the heinous crack of dawn, Team Austinist showed up in full force to take on the first-ever Silicon Labs Marathon Relay.
