Here we go again, I will be the one who complain and criticize one of Austin’s so called gem!

For my wife’s birthday I had decided to invite her to Uchi knowing her passion for Japanese and good food. We arrived at the restaurant expecting a wonderful […]

Well, people will think again that I’m a cocky, arrogant European never satisfied with food and restaurants in America. Unfortunately the following review is not going to be positive that I confess but trust me, I’m an adamant American food fan in all its variety. I simply need […]

Cinnamon rolls, […]

A gem!

It’s a little shack on the side of the road, when you get close to it you’re suddenly wrapped in this wonderful barbecue sent and smoke. The joint feels like the old days and you’ll say “hey, you European, what do you know about the […]

This restaurant is well located for sure; SOCO is a great relaxing area besides the high traffic which generates a constant rumbling noise. A lot of funky restaurants opened in this area and some of them provide quite decent food.

Enoteca Vespaio (not to be mixed up […]
