Tasty Tuesdays: Best Sushi in Austin

I’m a sucker for new food trailers and after hearing about Sushi-A-Go-Go on Twitter last week, I had to check it out. I drove from my office up to Manor Road where this new trailer was parked after being enticed by their daily Twitter special of $1 edamame and fresh tuna and yellowtail roll for $5.50. This spot is cash-only and I had $8 so I rounded out my purchase with a $0.50 house made Go-Go-Sauce and left the rest for tip.
Kayo Asazu is the owner of Sushi-A-Go-Go and she …

There will probably soon be a line out the door at Sugar Mama’s Bakeshop on S. 1st and Oltorf…to celebrate their half birthday (183 days old) they are giving away one baked good per person to the first 183 customers. After that, everything is half off for the rest of the day until they run out (hours are 12-8 but guaranteed they will run out early). Sugar Mama’s are my favorite cupcakes in town but as I’m still on my cleanse, you’ll have to eat one on my behalf.

Austin Downtown Farmer’s Market and Cleanse Update

Today is the sixth night of my two-week cleanse and I’m quite full. It’s close to 9 p.m. and I’m not even hungry for dinner after eating a late lunch at around 2 p.m.
Yesterday Deanna and I walked from my apartment in Clarksville to the Downtown Farmer’s Market. I wanted to stock up on cleanse-friendly foods after giving myself a break during the shabbat dinner I co-hosted the night before. That night I had wine, challah, pasta, and LOTS of dessert so it was time to get back on track.
I …

Austin Urban Farm Bicycle Tour

My tush hurts today after spending most of Saturday biking around the city during the Austin Urban Farm Bicycle Tour. The tour kicked off Eat Local Week, a series of events sponsored by Edible Austin, a gorgeous free monthly publication.
Christine and I started the day off shivering as the temperature had dipped below freezing during the night. We bundled up as much as we could and set off to enjoy breakfast tacos and coffee at Whole Foods.
We then met up for the 14 mile bike ride starting at Bicycle Sport …

A Locavore Weekend

I’m trying to eat healthier lately so you might see more fruits and veggies appear in the blog. This weekend, I ate lots of great local food. It started off with dinner at Eastside Cafe with Katie — we split Crabmeat-Stuffed Shrimp — 4 jumbo shrimp stuffed with crab meat, bell peppers, and garlic and served over fresh spinach. We had mashed sweet potatoes and veggie soup on the side.

On Saturday, I headed down to the Sunset Valley Farmer’s Market to pick up some fresh local veggies. It seemed …
