For your reading pleasure....

First issue of Sugar and Rice,  "the gulf coasts food and culture magazine", available now for $15. A note from the publishers: "We feel like from the beginning, Houstonians have said, “Fuck it, let’s do this.” Fuck it, let’s build our city on a swamp...They see something—a need, a use, an idea—and find a way to make it happen. At some point it became a way of life for us as well...We feel very strongly that there is something special happening in Houston and the Gulf right now...there are still countless stories not being told—or at least not being told at large. We figured we could give it a try." 

And this cute coffee table/recipe book by Mando Rayo & Jarod Neece of Taco Journalism, with breakfast taco faves of some of Austins local celebrities like Paul Qui and Adrian Quesada of Grupo Fantasma, as well as recipes from taco connoisseurs like Porfirio's  Tacos and Tamale House.

Out & About

There's a lot popping off this week y'all!

This Sunday check out The Austin Empty Bowl Project. Potters from all over Central Texas donate bowls of all sizes, shapes, and colors. Thirty restaurants and bakeries donate delicious soups and breads, while musicians donate their time and talent to entertain us. You pay $20 for a bowl of your choice, have it filled with soup, and enjoy the music. The bowl is yours to keep, as a reminder of those whose bowls are empty. The proceeds go to Meals on Wheels and More's Meals for Kids, and the Capital Area Food Bank to help sponsor the Kids Cafe Program. Kids Cafe provides a safe, nurturing place where children receive a hot, nutritious dinner, as well as help with homework. Y'all, this is a win win win situation! at Marchesa Hall & Theatre
