Long-Time Hut’s Location on 6th Street Has a New Occupant: Sammie’s Italian
Our last visit to Hut’s, one of Austin’s true icons, was memorable. We did our usual Buddy Holly burger along with fries and the gigantic onion rings and of course the essential strawberry shakes. We took some silly photos with me holding the rings like ski goggles, recalled all the great time’s we’d had there […]
Our Readers Weigh in on the Best Steaks in Austin: The Winner? III Forks
We’ve been polling our readers periodically about restaurants for their favorite foods in Austin. Normally the results come back in on kind of a bell shaped curve with most scores falling within two standard deviations of the mean. But in the case of Best place for steaks, the bell-shaped curve was blown to bits! Hands […]
While Downtown Steakhouse III Forks Has Reopened for In-House Dining, Takeout Service Is Still an Option
Look at this pork chop! Imagine it’s on a beautiful plate at III Forks. But this chop is on a plastic container that we took home the other night. It was savory and tender, as one would expect in the restaurant’s dining room. But it travelled beautifully to our dining room (along with the crab cakes, […]
III Forks Reopens Curbside Takeout with Aplomb
A few weeks ago we regretfully reported that III Forks downtown had suspended their curbside takeout services and deliveries. But almost immediately they began working on a plan to reopen those services as soon as they felt they could safely serve their customers. Then came the announcement late last week that they had resumed services. […]
There’s a Reason Why the Pasta Dishes at Emmer & Rye are So Popular!
Chef Kevin Fink and his team at Emmer & Rye on Rainey St. make some amazing pasta dishes. The restaurant takes its name from emmer, a hulled wheat that contributes to artisanal breads and pastas and has a long history of cultivation in Europe. My first sample of the pasta at this multidimensional restaurant was […]
In the Midst of Remodeling, III Forks Still Delivers a Killer Ribeye
We had this ribeye Thursday night at III Forks on Lavaca. They are remodeling the restaurant, which will undoubtedly embellish the always comforting and inviting decor. But the 18 oz prime bone in ribeye was as good or better than ever! III Forks 111 Lavaca St Austin, TX 78701 (512) 474-1776 www.3Forks.com
Ciclo At Four Seasons Maintains the Tradition of the Best Sunday Brunch
The Sunday brunch at Four Seasons has long held the acknowledged top spot as the best in the city. The transition to Ciclo as the main restaurant has done little to change that. Executive chef and major-domo Elmar Prambs and his crew continue to shine. Our last visit there was delightful. The antipasto and Caprese […]
Numero28 Rocks 2nd St with Excellent Prosciutto Pizza
It had been awhile since our last visit to Numero28 Pizzeria & Vineria. They made the Top 10 in our last Pizza Wars and I’m pleased to report that Bernardo Nolfo and his crew still have the place in fine form. The pizza was a smash. Ditto for the Eggplant Parmesan and the irresistible Cannelloni! […]
III Forks: The Classic Downtown Steakhouse
For a great may reasons, not the least of which is a beautifully marbled 18 oz bone-in ribeye with a wonderful first bite rush of flavor, III Forks has evolved into a classic downtown steakhouse. The bar is engaging and it looks as a steakhouse bar should: sleek, sophisticated, and inviting with touches of marble […]
