Someone in a white Ford Explorer plowed through the front window of a Texadelphia earlier this morning. No one, including the driver, was injured.

In the never-ending search for the ultimate sandwich it is more than likely that you will wind up at Food Heads Café.

Image via misterjingo on Flickr. Azul (1808 East Caesar Chavez)Now Closed[info]Last week, popular East Side coffee and food spot Azul closed down for good on the day before Thanksgiving. The converted house at E. Cesar Chavez and Chicon had been serving the neighborhood since 2000 with a mix of coffee, sandwiches, and breakfast items. It had been featured as one of Austin's best coffees in both Zagat's Texas restaurant guide and hipster travel guide eat.shop.austin....

Glassy-eyed college student:Make me a sandwich robot. Equally glassy-eyed friend:Wait, do you mean "make me a sandwich, robot" or do you mean "make me a sandwich robot"? Like, are you calling me a robot or are you saying you want a robot that specializes in making sandwiches? Girl in the ladies bathroom at Gingerman pub: So I was sleeping with Steve the other night and after we were done I told him that the...

Hand food: it's almost as awesome as food on sticks, but boasts the added bonus of carbohydrates! Food that comes in its own container is perfect for busy Fall days at work and school. Austin offers some great options for sandwich-y goodness on the go, so jump in your preferred mode of transport and grab some grub that requires little else than a hungry stomach, and perhaps a napkin or three. Hog Island Italian Deli...

P&K Grocery, South Austin's fancy mom-and-pop corner store, has gone out of business. Though open for only a year and a half, the tiny market on West Mary became a neighborhood staple, offering, among a host of more exotic specialty foods, wonderful sandwiches, hot dogs, and (best of all) cupcakes. The store did what it could to help out the community, and, in turn, became a much-appreciated part of the community as well. "We are...

We at the Gothamist network would like to express our heartfelt wishes to the people of Minnesota in the days after their tragic bridge collapse. We're not trying to discount the severity of the accident by making note of it in opposition to our usual -Ist lightheartedness - we just wanted to take a moment and recognize those affected last week. After the Minneapolis bridge collapse, Bostonist did a little research and found that Massachusetts...

Austin is heaven for food lovers. With all the great barbecue, burgers and beer, it's no wonder we've gained like fifteen pounds over the course of the last six months. It could also be because we don't exercise, and we eat one of these sandwiches every night, right before going to bed. But then again, who can say for sure in this topsy-turvy world of ours? Anyway, tonight the A/V Geeks will shed some light...

Pinkies up, people. With the Domain’s opening, we now have a Neiman’s, and a Louis Vuitton, and a Tiffany’s, and that’s all very fancy, we’re sure. Little known culinary fact, though – Texas Culinary Academy (which has been a Domain tenant for several years) plays host to the tres chic tradition of High Tea every six weeks, and – la dee dah - we were lucky enough to enjoy a quick bite at this...

We have one word for the project Chef Brenton Schumacher is about to unveil: finally. In the downtown Red River area – grossly underserved by questionable taco trucks and the like – the winds of change are blowing. Detroit native Schumacher, the innovative former Executive Sous Chef at Central Market, has thrown down the gauntlet with two projects. In its first year, his new catering company, Pink Avocado, has grabbed gigs with the Independent Film...

We attended the press day preview of the new Round Rock IKEA store last week, where we had a chance to snack on an assortment of delectable Swedish cuisine before being given a tour of the new (and enormous) space. Like every other IKEA we've ever visited—Frisco, Houston, Elizabeth, Emeryville, Covina, Taipei—the store is laid out as a series of showcase areas (Living Rooms, Wall Units, Media & Storage, Kitchens & Dining, etc.) that...

We're moving quickly into the holiday season, but this week there are no holiday-themed movies. Rejoice! Because there will be. Dear God, there will be. *Stranger Than Fiction We love seeing talented "funny guys" attempt less-over-the-top acting, especially when they do it well (see: Jim Carrey, Robin Williams, Freddie Prinze, Jr. - oh wait, he's neither funny nor talented). We commend you, Mr. Ferrell. Please be our friend? *Babel Multicultural interconnection, global complexity, blah...

Zagat's 2007 America's Top Restaurants Survey is out and although the setup on this one begs for an immediate rimshot, it's true - we love eating out. In fact, only Houston residents eat out with more frequency *snicker* than Austinites. Hungry Houstonians are eating out an average of 4.2 meals per week while residents of Austin and Dallas/Ft. Worth eat out an average of 4 times per week. Trailing in weekly eating-out outings are...

As fall settles in and another calendar page gets turned, thoughts turn from bbq's and vacations to holidays and the realization that '06 is coming to an end. With all that going on, with change in the air, we wonder what is it that made that makes the -ists ponder? Phillyist is concerned that the war on Trans fats could affect it's beloved cheese steak sandwiches, something for which we should all be concerned....

Now this is a good idea: Just in time for the start of classes (that'd be today), Fricano's Deli opened this month in small space carved out right next to North Campus mainstay Speedway Market. Our affinity for Speedway developed during a college affair of convenience. It had beer. We lived nearby. The rest is history. We'll have to see if Fricano's proves similarly convenient since we've just moved back into the same 'hood....

We all know about the plethora of great happy hour appetizer values in Austin, but another great deal often goes overlooked. If you are one of the many Austinists with children, you can reap the rewards of free kids' dining at many area eateries. Unfortunately, Uchi and Driskill Grill don't seem to be on board, but then again, when are you taking your kids there?

Remember when the new Whole Foods opened up and everyone rushed to go see it? Remember those first couple months when no one bought anything and just wandered around aimlessly from aisle to aisle? Well, replace all that lame, non-alcoholic organic food with mother nature's sweet nectar of life: alcohol. Now, multiply that by three. The Statesman recently reported that we will receive not one, but three Spec's Wines, Spirits & Finer Foods over the...

We've been enjoying eating at Home Slice Pizza since it opened many months ago. Apparently so have a lot of other people because every time we go the place is hopping. We almost always go for a slice of cheese and a side salad. Both seem to hit the spot just right. Recently, though, we ventured into the sandwich domain and got one of those fancy subs they offer. We ordered the Veggie, of...

Time to saddle up the Vespa and git on down to Auditorium Shores to grab some free grub at the annual Brokeback Cowboy Breakfast this Friday morning from 6-9. This event has become the traditional kick-off to the Star of Texas Fair and Rodeo, which will be in our fair town from March 11 – 25th. Start saving your appetite now because there will be quite a heart-attack-on-a-plate spread including, “cowboy coffee, sausage, donuts,...

Mexican food is almost ubiquitous in Austin. Its popularity seems to be fed by the same reason that so many people eat at chain restaurants: they are comfortable with familiarity and thus frequent most often those places that will not offer challenges or surprises. Any Mexican restaurant you go into will most likely have the same, standard fare and won't make anyone have to question what each thing is on the menu. Although we ourselves...

Cherrywood, the neighborhood just east of I-35 which borders French Place, is holding its fourth annual Art Fair to benefit Maplewood Elementary. On December 10th and 11th, from 11am to 5pm, Maplewood Elementary (3808 Maplewood Ave) will open its doors, giving you the chance to browse original artwork from over 40 local artists. Local bands will also be playing throughout the day. Parents are encouraged to bring their little tykes along as well. On...

It doesn't matter anymore how much we love the sub sandwiches at Delaware Sub Shop. We are never going there again! Under no circumstances should it ever take 30 minutes to get one simple sub (not even a cheesesteak, mind you). This is especially true if for many of those 30 minutes there are three smiley blokes behind the counter having jolly conversation. We don't mean to be the curmudgeonly patron. We understand that...

And it was good. In fact, yes, it did live up to its legend. We kept hearing about this LIttle Deli place hidden amidst barber shops and neighborhood pharmacies (well, okay, one barber shop and one pharmacy and a dry cleaners, too) in the Crestview neighborhood. A reader even wrote us to encourage our going there and be sure to try the vegetarian sandwich, she said. So we went already and we got that...

Our new favorite place to grab a noontime meal is Progress Coffee. We already knew the coffee was good (remember?), but now that we've sampled the brie sandwich with jalapeno jelly, we'll be going back for more. The sandwiches come with a serving of chips and salsa--fresh, red, hot, saliva-inducing salsa. And the iced tea ain't bad either. The really wonderful thing about Progress Coffee is their committment to local and organic produce. They...

We were recently asked by one of our sporting readers where he could find an affordable place in town to play golf. It made us hearken back to the good ol’ pre-Tiger days (also known as the golf explosion) when one could go out and play some of the best courses in town for $30. Those days are gone, and we think that golf has become entirely overpriced, especially here in Austin. However, there...

We love hamburgers…a lot! That’s why we were pretty excited to see a new kid on the block in the form of P. Terry’s Burger Stand . The burger stand, owned by namesake Patrick Terry, opened about 2-3 weeks ago and is located on Lamar, just north of Barton Springs Rd. As its name states, this is a burger “stand” not a restaurant, but there are some picnic tables adjacent to the stand, if...

Calling all occupants of the Brentwood, Allandale, and Crestview neighborhoods: there is a new place in town for your casual dining needs. It's the place that used to be The Stone House Grill, a stone house (huh) of sorts on Burnet Road in the enclave of businesses that also features Dog Almighty (review coming soon!) and G & J's barbeque. The menu is nothing special--burgers, sandwiches, and the apparently necessary showing of tex-mex items....

We say to ourselves, we say, selves, time for some Brazilian food. Because we are hungry and we've seen way too much of Thundercloud Subs. Not to mention Italian, Chinese, and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Selves, we say, let's go out to eat and eat well; let's go to Sao Paulo's. Plus, we hear they have good fancy drinks. São Paulo's used to be SamPaio's. So recently, in fact, that the old name...

The Bakehouse restaurant sounded promising. We heard the place has a big fan club in South Austin. We heard they make great baked goods. We heard they are family friendly. And upon entering, it does look promising. There are globe lanterns hanging above each table and a huge map on the wall lending a sort of unique decor to the family style restaurant. The music playing over the sound system is eclectic and grown-up....
