Foodie Challenge 40th B'day
wow! i was just tooling around the board trying to figure out the exact same scenario. :) i turn 40 in June and am attempting to decide where to go for a spectacular meal.
went to Jezebel for my bday two years ago and it was Fantastic. one of the best bottles of wine i've ever had: Betts & Scholl Barossa Valley Grenache and the slow-braised colorado lamb shank was an absolute luxury. you should definitely consider it!
others possibles on my list (mainly because i have yet to go) are Fabi & Rosi and Olivia's.
another fave is Eastside Cafe because of their commitment to using local ingredients as well as growing their own.
happy 40th!
A Canadian food writers first time to Austin- Best places to eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner?
hmmm...so many places to choose from. a few of my tops include:
* House or Eastside Pies for thin-crust pizza
* Eastside Cafe for something authentically Austin (they have their own garden!) and consistently delicious.
* i'm with bookgrrl on Olivia and Justine's...they are on my must-do list as well.
* for total indulgence, get your wallet out for the slow-braised colorado lamb shank with pomegranate-tamarind glaze at Restaurant Jezebel. *swoon* they have an amazing wine list too.
* ming's cafe for great, no-frills chinese - the spinach stir-fry is to die for!
happy eating!

okay. so far monk's and varga bar are on the bill for beers. what would your One byob (wine) recommendation be for dinner in the city center? intrigued by kanela and mercato so far, but open to others! probably also grab a mid-afternoon, inexpensive lunch once we arrive - do either of the beer haunts serve decent grub or should we do that separately? thanks!!

we will be in town for just one night and would love recommendations for dinner that are within walking distance of the Alexander Inn.
Monk's is already on the list for brews & appetizers.
no dietary restrictions and open to all types of food, moderately priced is good.
thanks!
