Austin's Best Food and Drink Events This Week

Friday 3

EASY TIGER: LABOR DAY SPECIALS Let that Tiger labor, so you can take it easy this day, is the idea. Celebrate the last long weekend of summer, with the perfect setup for a backyard party (or tailgate gathering) from Easy Tiger's Labor Day Shop. Start with one of their tasty charcuterie boards, and then – oh, they've got fresh buns for burgers and sausages, and fresh housemade sausages, and, when you want to finish with something sweet, there's that Easy apple pie, with a delicious heap of crumbles sprinkled over the tender, lightly spiced apple filling in a flakey, all-butter crust. John Chapman, we reckon, would've wept with joy. Sept. 3-6 Easy Tiger, The Linc, 6406 N. I-35 #1100, 512/494-4151. easytigerusa.com/catering

RED BEANS AND RICELY YOURS, AUSTIN This community initiative, headed by Chris Cubas and Maris Clegg, is dedicated to providing free meals (of red beans and rice, andouille sausage, cornbread, fruit, dessert, and a drink) to Austinites in need. "On Tuesdays, we will provide a link to sign up for a free home-made meal delivered to you with safety in mind," goes their announcement on Facebook. "There is no judgment and the form is anonymous. If you have been affected by the impact of Covid-19 or are having a hard time, we would like to make a small portion of your day a little bit better." Or, if you'd like to donate your time in driving, baking treats, or providing cases of nonalcoholic beverages, please reach out to redbeansaustin@gmail.com. redbeansaustin.com
