My first stop for a magical dessert has got to be either Uchi or Uchiko both led by Philip Speer. Technically, Speer is now the Culinary Director of the Uchi group and has recently named his long time assistant, Monica Glen, as the pastry chef of the soon to be opened Uchi Houston and Andrew Lewis as the pastry chef at Uchiko. Speer is still very involved in the development of the pastry menus but not as much in the day to day productions as his new job duties take him between all three restaurants with staffing, training, aligning food costs, and the million other things it takes to launch and run three high end restaurants. Tuna, compressed watermelon best roulette online strategy, and cilantro Shag roll with salmon, sun dried tomatoes, and avocado Foreground- creamy chicken liver pate Background- wagyu tartare from Fabi and Rosi Of course there are hundreds of places that offer drink specials. My focus is more on the places that offer good food as well, not just the nacho car at Chuy’s (which is also delicious, just looking for something a little more substantial.) The last place on my list I am sorry to say will not be having a happy hour during SXSW. Trio at the Four Seasons recently got a new chef who is revamping the menu including a new happy hour that will launch post SXSW. The property and the restaurant are gorgeous and worth a visit, especially if your new record label is footing the bill. If you are not that lucky, keep an eye out and I will post the specials once I get word. Lemon tart from Trace. Crispy calamari with spicy marinara at Moonshine Chocolate mousse, red beet, toasted milk, blood orange. Fried milk, toasted milk, chocolate milk online 3 card poker, iced milk sherbet. Trio dining room Not too far down the road the atmosphere and the food get more upscale at Fabi and Rosi. Happy hour here goes from 5-6:30 Monday through Friday. $5 starters and $2 off beer and wine featuring wagyu tartare, chicken liver pate, a delicious cheese plate, as well as some damn fine mussels of their own and even classic escargot. Thursdays also include half price bubbly both by the glass and by the bottle. Fair warning, happy hour here easily melts into dinner with such delicious offerings as the classic schnitzel and spatzel made with Richardson’s farm pork or the wagyu steak and frites which is a steal at $19. The Flying Pig, a giant fresh fried donut covered in bacon and maple icing, has long been one of my favorite indulgences courtesy of Gordough’s. one of the first trailers to start the current dining craze in Austin. I have not had the pleasure of visiting their new brick and mortar, Gordough’s Public House. which offers sandwiches and burgers made from donuts as well as craft cocktails and a fine assortment of beers but I have heard great things. Even the salads are served with a “piping hot garlic donut.” Huge tip- the restaurant validates for its parking garage. It is one of the few places downtown you do not have to worry about parking. Another one of my favorite dessert cases is at Vespaio Enoteca. While Vespaio is one of the best Italian places in town and worth a long leisurely visit, more often I find myself in a rush and the case here carries a nice assortment of European style desserts and breads as well as charcuterie and antipasti perfect for a picnic on the go. Just need a bottle of Pinot and you are ready for whatever Austin adventure awaits you. The menu changes roughly with the seasons and the latest list of appetizers are below. The calamari were crisp and perfectly cooked, no chewy rubber bands. The baked brie came served with sliced apples, grapes, and a bed of arugula that made the plate seem like a nice cross between cheese plate and fresh salad. The biggest seller on the menu are the corn dog shrimp. Just like they sound, shrimp are dipped in a corn dog batter, fried and served with a honey mustard sauce with a blueberry swirl. They are worth trying but I have had them so many times I usually go for something new. Chocolate 7 ways- Pine nut, pomegranate, olive oil ice milk. Chef Erica Vietnamese Coffee Pots de Creme, hazelnuts, orange zest, condensed milk foam Warm butterscotch pudding, tangerine, English toffee, cocoa nib sorbet. Peanut butter semifreddo with apple-miso sorbet from Philip Speer at Uchi/Uchiko The Carillon is the restaurant located at the AT&T Executive Center on the University of Texas Campus. This is one of the best restaurants in town that nobody seems to know about. It is probably due to the fact that it is located in a hotel/conference center run by UT and is only open to staff for breakfast and lunch but it opens for fine dining to the public in the evening and it is outstanding. I have been a huge fan of the executive chef kasino cely film, Josh Watkins, since his days at the Driskill. As much as I love Watkins’ food, his dessert program did not do justice to his high caliber food. That problem was recently resolved with the addition on Plinio Sandalio to the team. Hillside Farmacy could also be known as Chef Sonya Cote’s favorite things. The walls are lined with local products, most of which have little in common except that Cote likes them. And she does have great taste. The pastry case is an assortment of local bakers and their best products, many of which are usually found only at the weekend farmer’s markets. So sleep in on Saturday and check out Hillside instead. Chef Loic Duchesne at Cinnamon’s. Speer’s desserts are as sophisticated as they are playful, a blend of familiar tastes with innovative techniques. He seeks to balance textures in a final course that is not too sweet with definite notes of contrast like acid and salt in the clean Asian aesthetic that the rest of your meal followed. The mussels at Abel's on the Lake are some of the best in town. Thursday- Live Fire at the Salt Lick then Dessert Dinner at Trace by Pichet Ong With Tyson Cole winning the James Beard award last year for best chef Southwest, Paul Qui about to be crowned Top Chef tonight (knock on wood so I don’t jinx it) live 5 breaking news, Philip Speer nominated for a James Beard award for best pastry chef for a third time, a new Uchi open in Houston and a brand new Food and Wine Fest in April led by chef Cole, Uchi on South Lamar and her sister Uchiko on North Lamar have got to be the hottest ticket in town. And yes, my friends, I am happy to report they have a “Sake Social Hour” daily from 5-6:30. Word of advice slot games pearl casino, get there as close to 5 as you can as this place fills up quickly. There is also a bit more room at the North Lamar location. The menu here changes daily with the freshest fish and produce available. Always on the menu is the classic shag roll but daily specials are varied as they are delicious. Note my previous dessert post dublinbet live roulette not random, it would be a huge mistake to fill up on dinner and skip desserts here. Make your girlfriend get her own so you can taste more than one. Now I must share my Uchi porn with you. Roasted tomato sorbet with cherub tomato confit and chevre fondant from Philip Speer of Uchi/Uchiko. One of my favorite desserts last year was the Popcorn and a Movie by Callie Speer at the wildly popular Swift’s Attic. I was also impressed with a seasonal apple dessert I had but unfortunately the lighting is not exactly photographer friendly. The food at Swift’s is imaginative and flavorful and so are the desserts. They recently started a brunch on Sunday’s with Foie Gras PB&J Pancakes that I must try. Mmmmm casino games guide, foie! Dark chocolate terrine, raspberries video poker download free, white chocolate custard, chocolate crumbles, hazelnuts. Almond cake spielautomaten tricks and jokes, tomato jam, foie gras ice cream, marcona almonds. Corndog- cornmeal fritters, hot dog ketchup, mustard ice cream. Rooibos cheesecake, cucumber granita, green chartreuse meringue, lime curd. Yogurt panna cotta, pistachio financier, pistachio custard, campari gelee, grapefruit sorbet.
