Cover 3 Sports Bar Opens on Anderson Lane
As an ex- football player, I was amused by a sports bar naming itself after a defensive strategy which employees three deep defenders each guarding one-third of the deep zone. Now, whether that will resonate to non football players is the key. Thus far however, according to management, the ratio of women to men has […]
Mama Fu’s Opens on Colorado at Corner of Cesar Chavez next to Taste
The popular local Chinese restaurant chain Mama Fu’s is opening Sunday, November 23rd at 100 Colorado on the corner of Cesar Chavez. The lunch is a fast casual format with a transition to full service for dinner utilizing the same mneu. This is great news for the downtown area which is greatly lacking in Chinese […]
Five Guys Burgers Opens at 3208 Guadalupe
This is a national chain that has a rabid following tantamount to In and Out or Carl Jr’s. They yell at you (East Coast Style) when you walk in the door. Growing up as I did in CT, you take that stuff for granted. But down here, I don’t know. Frankly, the longer I live […]
Maria Maria opens on Colorado next to Kenichi
Jeff Dudham knows how to do the celebrity restaurant thing far better than most. He’s made it work with McCovey’s after baseball player Willie McCovey, Joe DiMaggio’s (in the Domain), and now with Maria Maria, a collaboration between legendary musician Carlos Santana and Chef Roberto Santibanez. This is the third Maria Maria to open with […]
Cabo Bob’s Opens on 500 E. Ben White
If Freebird’s or Chipotle is your thing, then you need to know about the opening of Cabo Bob’s at 500 E. Ben White. They make burritos and tortillas in a fast-casual environment. I myself have tended to lean toward Freebird’s (partially because they are virtually next door to our office on S. Congress) but also […]

Fujian Grand China Buffet Opens on N. IH-35
I am not one to usually get too excited about Chinese buffets. But the Fujian Grand China Buffet at 8709 N. IH 35 (site of the former Old San Francisco Steakhouse) looks very clean and very good. I like the décor: very modern and I noticed they were regularly replenishing the trays. This is always […]
Corazon at Castle Hill Opens
Cathe Daily spent 18 years turning Castle Hill into one of Austin’s legendary restaurants. Finally, driven by vendor costs, she was forced to change formats and close the restaurant. But not for long. Castle Hill has been refitted and rebranded into Corazon at Castle Hill. Corazon meets “heart” in Spanish and boy does this restaurant […]

Historic Paggi House on Riverside to Reopen Oct. 16th
It’s been a long wait for area foodies but the Paggi House is back. My first experience with this iconic restaurant (it was housed it an historic inn where General Robert E. Lee had once spent the night) goes back to 1982. It was one of Austin’s best restaurants at the time and it remained […]
