In Search of a Cronut? Head to La Pâtisserie.

Searching For Poutine in Austin
I first tried Poutine on a business trip to Montreal in the early ’90s. The restaurant was a cozy spot called Moxie’s Grill.

Noble Sandwich Co. on Burnet is Closing
When the Noble Pig exploded on to the scene on 620 a few years ago, they virtually rewrote the book on the composition and presentation of a great roast pork sandwich. The place did a rousing business and for good reason: they were terrific. They recently moved to Burnet and rebranded as Noble Sandwich Co., […]
