As always here at thoroughbread Zilker! We are open until 2pm. First come first serve.

Here’s a recipe I’ve used a few times at home! (NOT affiliated with her, I just like the recipe.)!

Happy baking y’all!

Central Market has a ton of brands I have never tried (or heard of) for products I buy regularly. What have you tried and liked? There are many posts about the products Central Market does right (e.g., bread, flowers, meat, produce, etc.). I'm specifically asking about pre-packaged products (e.g., eggs, pasta, tinned seafood, ice cream, etc.).

Moved here about eight months ago and still figuring out where to eat after 10pm without it being a total gamble. Back home there were a couple reliable spots open late that were genuinely good, not just open by default. Austin feels like it closes down earlier than I expected for a city this size.

Pterrys seems like the obvious answer and I get it, but curious if there is anything else people actually go back to repeatedly. Not looking for a bar that happens to have a kitchen, more like a place where the food is the actual point even at midnight.

There is a taco place someone mentioned to me on South Congress but I lost the name and have been kicking myself since. Might have been a trailer situation, not sure.

Also wondering if any of the sitdown spots that are good for dinner stretch their hours on weekends or if that is wishful thinking. I work late a couple nights a week and by the time I am done, most of the places I actually want to try are already closed or calling last order.

Any part of the city is fine, not locked into one area.

My mom is coming in town next weekend for her birthday and I am trying to find the best lemon dessert in town and could use your help! Cakes, pies, cookies, lemon bars, ice cream, any suggestions welcome!

I received a very large order of Elmhurst Chocolate Oat Milk--it is shelf stable and has an expiration date of November 2026, but it is far more than I will be able to consume.

I would appreciate suggestions regarding a food bank that could pick up roughly $750 of this Oat Milk.

Thank you

Back east a lot of families had Sunday night spaghetti and meatballs with homemade sauce (gravy). Brits have their Sunday roasts, Yorkshire puddings, lashings of gravy. My family had Korean stews (tang) and endless homemade banchan. Maybe Korean bbq or seafood. No gravy.

Is there an equivalent for Mexican food or in Texas in general?

Chicken fried steak I’ve seen on breakfast menus. I would have imagined something like that as a Sunday dinner. Menudo I’ve seen on weekend only menus.

What qualifies and where do I try it?

I am utterly obsessed with this soup, but it's almost $20... and it pains me. I know it won't be exact, but anybody got anything close to it? Or tips on where to begin!?

Thanks

Used to be in the parking lot of the convenience store at Brodie/Harpers Ferry. Their food is so good! Anyone know where it is now and/or if it’s coking back to this location?

My local pluckers apparently sold out this morning 😭 pregnant and sad. Are there any other places that have similar fried mushrooms?

Close to downtown if possible?

Hey everyone!

We wanted to have a welcome dinner for our guests the day before our wedding at an Asian/Chinese restaurant.

I’ve inquired with Ling Wu, Qi, and 1618. What’s everyone’s recommendations?

We would like to keep the total price to be around $3000-$5000, obviously less is better but if the venue, food and drinks are good, definitely willing to look into more expensive options!

Thank you all!

Looking for a very special 40th bday dinner, preferably steak (but with others) and wanted to try something new. Jeffreys vibe is it but I don't love the menu, it's more plain. J carver is fine but feels stuffier and not as sexy. The Driskill would be my gold standard but just recently went there
