Manischewitz Braised Short Ribs with Horseradish Gremolata

Fall off the bone tender beef ribs smothered in a Manischewitz sauce! I was slightly concerned because there is a reason the sweet wine is the boozy beverage of choice amongst the Bar Mitzvah crowd. But with the balance of some beef broth, tomato paste, and lots of herbs, the sweet wine is transformed into the tastiest sauce in the entire Jewniverse. Read More | Comment »

East Side King + Hole in the Wall = Austin Magic

When I was a UT undergraduate back in the grubby early ‘90s, the Hole in the Wall was the standard-bearer of Austin’s self-styled title of Live Music Capital of the World. On any given night of the week, you could see local heroes like Cotton Mather and Banana Blender Surprise, not to mention touring acts from around the world. Read More | Comment »

Austin Urban Farm Bike Tour

I have felt like such a stranger to this city upon returning this November after six months away. It’s been a whirlwind, driving past Austin classics now closed down; receiving news of historical businesses being leveled for condos; noticing so many new buildings that weren’t here a scant six months ago. And where did all these cars come from? Read More | Comment »

Hemingway’s Favorite Cocktails at Alamo Drafthouse

Although a longstanding fan of Woody Allen, I had never seen Midnight in Paris. But had I known what it was about, I certainly wouldn’t have waited so long.
