Worlds of Flavor

As a food writer with a special passion for the foods of Southeast Asia, I was excited about the 2000 Worlds of Flavor International Conference and Festival, Mick Vann writes. My pulse quickened and I salivated uncontrollably every time the possibility of attending crossed my mind. I would love to go, but my financial picture was in its usual bleak and blurry mode. Then came the call from my editor. I had gotten a surprise, last-minute press pass.

Southeast Feast

On 620, about halfway between Mansfield Dam and Lakeway, in Lakeway Plaza, is one of Austin's best pan-Asian restaurants. It's a small spot with limited seating and tiny tables turning out some of the finest Thai, Cambodian, Laotian, and Burmese cuisine around. As a matter of fact, they turn out the only Cambodian, Laotian, and Burmese cuisine in Austin, and it's not even on the menu!

Going Home Again

"East Side Cafe is obviously doing something right," Chronicle Cuisines writer Rebecca Chastenet de Géry writes. "You don't draw waiting crowds continually for over a decade without conscious effort. The cafe's menu certainly isn't Austin's splashiest, but for many, the cafe simply feels right. There's no place like home."

"...houses the cafe is well-appointed and comfortable, the food fresh and rejuvenating, and the garden a perfect place for..."

Old School, Au Courant

Jean Pierre's Upstairs is a restaurant of the old school; it emphasizes service over scene, and all employees act like professionals. Each diner is treated like he or she is the only person in the room. But the food is also surprisingly avant-garde, Chronicle food writer Rachel Feit reveals in a review of Jean Pierre's Upstairs.
