Move over, Hilah! Austin's about to have an­oth­er YouTube foodie sensation. Tolly Mose­ley, aka Austin Eavesdropper, shares her insights into Austin's food scene in a new original web series called "Hungry In...," which debuted on YouTube's food-centric Hungry channel on Sept. 21. West Coast multimedia studio Electus joined forces with Citysearch to create the series which will focus on revealing great places to eat in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Austin; think a Bourdain-less No Reserva­tions with well-connected local tastemakers as the tour guides. Moseley told us last week that each of her first three episodes will introduce viewers to a different Austin neighborhood, and the first episode debuts Friday, Oct. 5. Watch the show and read additional content on the restaurants and featured scouts at www.citysearch.com/hungryin.
