Austin, a lazy local's suggestions

March 27th, 2024

This week

I'm sharing a few of my Austin favorites this week. I've lived in Central Texas all of my life, and I've lived in Austin well over a decade. I'm not a food blogger by trade, but writing a blog about food technically makes me a food blogger--so here we are.

Comedor

Comedor's a great place--I love this restaurant. Fun wine list, great atmosphere, interesting entrees and shared coursings. Any place with orange wines on the menu and sensible gluten free, dairy free offerings gets my vote.

I'm not gluten free, but my wife is. Every time we visit, they take care of her, and they go through extra effort ensure she's able to eat without cross contamination. It's wonderful.

Don't sleep on their chicken.

DipDipDip Tatsu-ya

Hot pot rocks.

Go in the middle of the week and avoid the crowds. They offer a fantastic midweek omakase. All the goodness--half the price. Their menu rotates regularly, so you'll always have a new addenture ahead of you.

Himalaya Kosheli

I love Himalayan/Tibetan food. Borderline obsessed. It's its own unique cuisine, with flavors from India and China.

If you'ver never had any Tibetan food, do yourself a favor and order some Momo--pot stickers--and Thukpa, a tibetan noodle soup. Or the Gobi Manchurian--fried, spicy cauliflower. All of them are fantastic. Cold weather comfort food. It's BYOB, so plan accordingly.

That's all for this month. Y'all go snag some food.
