Best migas in Austin?
I absolutely love the migas at the South Congress Cafe. Perfect, exquisite balance of heat/cheese/creaminess/eggyness/crunchiness, and served with the salsa verde and corn tortillas, it is dizzying.
Los Agaves (Santa Barbara)
I was up in SB yesterday for business and scheduled my whole day basically around stopping in at LSR. Every time I'm in town, I try to make a point of eating here. Crushingly, I arrived to find that they're not open on Wednesdays...ended up trying out Los Agaves, a Mexican grill which is about a block south down Milpas toward the 101, and I'm really glad I did. The place was absolutely packed at about 2 PM, but after getting through the line and finding a table, my order arrived in just about 5 minutes. The sorrow of no La Super Rica was soon tempered by a fantastic al pastor pork, rolled into a grilled tortilla with melty, soft white cheese and pineapple chunks. Topped off with their smoky brown chipotle salsa, it was sublime...sweet, smoky, savory, cheesy. The rest of the menu looked impressive and I will definitely make the time to get back here (as well as hitting up LSR on a day other than Wednesday).
Good Banh Mi in the Hollywood/Koreatown area?
With KP's Deli in Silver Lake sadly gone, I'm on the hunt again for a good banh mi in the East Hollywood / Melrose / Koreatown area....any suggestions? I would prefer not to have to make the trek out to Alhambra and would imagine that there's some delicious options somewhere a bit more in the neighborhood....
Looking for Carne en su jugo in Los Angeles...
...any recommendations? I've not had it before, and it sounds pretty amazing. Thanks....
Salty Caramel Gelato in NYC?
Anyone know where I can find Salty Caramel gelato in New York City? I've had it at Jeni's in Columbus, Ohio, but haven't found it anyplace else since.
