The best way to waste away a Sunday. Wake up super late and have brunch at Torchy’s. Go to a Super Bowl party. Sleep more. P.S. Torchy’s has the best tacos!

Black’s Barbecue II
The Original Black’s Barbecue in Lockhart may be the best BBQ joint on the planet. My lunch today was simple – pork chop, brisket, black-eyed peas, and iced tea. If you ever find yourself within driving distance of Black’s, please check it out.
Shake Shack
I like to call this one “Full Moon over Shake Shack”. Obviously, this location is not much of a shack. If you go here I highly recommend the Lockhart Link Burger – “Cheeseburger topped with griddled Kreuz Market jalapeño cheese sausage link, ShackSauce, pickles.” That was what’s for dinner tonight.
Craving Pizza
These are my type of life decisions. Eat the pizza buffet, including those awesome chocolate chip dessert pizzas, before going to swim laps at the gym. Super healthy!
Snow Monster II
Hey y’all, on this chilly day I am at Snow Monster upping my food photography game. This is a small Coffee Snow Ice with Oreo Bits on top. My personal favorite. Yummy!
La Bella Luna
I went for a swim, then a late night meal at Kerbey Lane Cafe where I was admiring the art of Tori Jane on the walls. If you act quickly, as of today this item is for sale on her Etsy Shop (among other interesting pieces).
Andy’s Frozen Custard
Whose idea was it to put this lovely place just down from the 24 Hour Fitness? Andy’s Frozen Custard is a most awesome establishment! Just take a look at the menu. My selection today was the Triple Chocolate Concrete – “Chocolate frozen custard blended with chocolate chip cookie dough and melted chocolate chip.” Yummy.
Llano Llounge
Yippee! Cooper’s BBQ is coming to Downtown Austin. They aren’t totally open yet, but the lounge area upstairs is having a soft opening and serving bar food and drinks. I tried the Slider Trio and the baked potato and all was wonderful. When they do open (hopefully soon), they will have a serving line where you make your selections right off the grill. The restaurant is a combination of two old buildings and in addition to the lounge upstairs, they will have large indoor and outdoor seating areas downstairs. I am anxiously awaiting the grand opening so we can have another excellent BBQ joint in Austin.
Mambo House
Anyone like Cuban cuisine? Mambo House is a relatively new restaurant in Round Rock that serves up some yummy Cuban food. Tonight’s dinner consisted of fried plantains, empanadas, Chuletas a la Parilla (grilled pork chops, yellow rice and caramelized onions), and tres leches. Everything was perfect, and I will be sure to return again soon.
Chuy’s
Lucky for me, Chuy’s stays open late and they are also big fans of Elvis. Tonight’s dinner was the Macho Burrito special, “A flour tortilla stuffed with roasted pork, green chiles, jack cheese & guacamole, smothered with Hatch Green Chile Tomatillo Sauce”. Yummy.
