I love going to grocery stores in the morning(especially while foods). They always have insane sales like 50% off guac or fruit. What other hacks are you guys aware of around town?

Food Itineraries I’m traveling with my retired service dog for the first time as a regular pet! Could anyone recommend some dog friendly patios?

3 Upvotes

Hi all! Long story short, my service dog is retired. He’s well into his senior years and is doing great, but he’s lost a lot of his hearing and he deserves retirement at this point in his life!

My husband and I are bringing him with us to Austin for a long weekend. We figure he deserves some fun, non working vacations too.

I’m looking for some dog friendly patio recommendations for bars and restaurants. We’re down for anything from street food to fine dining, as long as we can have the dog with us since I don’t just want to leave him alone at the hotel.

I flipped through some old friends and saw some animosity about dogs at restaurants, but I promise I’m doing this responsibly and he’s still well behaved!

Before anyone suggests I just put his vest back on and go where I want… no, that’s not the point.

Thanks!!

Austin Celiacs what is the best neighborhood to live in that is closest to food for us? The Well and Picnik are amazing, but other hole in the wall options? Places on the outskirts as well, Westlake, Cedar Park, North Austin Domain area! Where do y’all live and how easy is it for you to access restaurants for us???

Something that’s maybe not widely known but the Frazier’s kitchen will customize things pretty much anyway you ask. Behold the knucklepuck, something my grandad always did growing up.

Restaurant Opening Tuna Carving Show Today at Hokkai-San’s Grand Opening

191 Upvotes

Hokkai-san is a Japanese-style grocery store located at 609 Congress Avenue. I managed to snag a piece of the belly known as Toro which is the fattiest and most prized cut. They’re all about serving the freshest fish and other Japanese food. They selection is pretty similar to Asahi market, maybe a little bit better with some more niche snacks no only from Japan, but also Korea and China. Their prepared meals are likely where they will shine. A cute girl chatted me up there but I failed to make a move. 🙃

Any NY/NJ ppl in here that can recommend really good Chinese food in the area? I’ve been able to find decent pizza and ok bagels but the Chinese food has been…. Lacking

Edit: I was posting to ask about Chinese food but saw another post about David Doughie’s so bagels took over my brain for a brief moment I guess

Food Review AUTHENTIC SOONDAE GUK!!!

Thumbnail

97 Upvotes

First, I need to get this out of the way—this is probably the first and last time Korea House will ever prepare Soondae Guk for anyone. The ingredients (to get it perfectly right) are very hard to find in Austin. Because I am Korean myself and a regular at Korea House, I begged the owners to put an end to my search (4+ years) for authentic Soondae Guk (my favorite dish) in Austin by specially preparing it themselves. They were kind enough to prepare a Soondae Guk feast for me and my friends (a group of ten). It was also pretty pricey ($25/serving, which is higher than their usual $16 - $20/serving for their guk dishes on the menu). I also asked if they would put it on the menu, but they told me that it would hurt the business, most likely because less people would get it for its higher price and the profit margin is probably much lower than the dishes they offer, which I totally understand.

It was perfect. Best Soondae Guk I've tried in the USA and holds its own against the ones in Korea. From the first smell, I knew this was the real deal (oh, how much I had missed this wonderful smell). The blood sausages was cut by the chef herself (you can tell that this wasn't some cheap factory Soondae) and tasted great, the intestines and liver (and other mystery pork meat) had the perfect bite and was full of flavor explosions, the bone broth was rich, and they provided all the essential garnishes and seasonings (chopped green onions, toasted ground sesame seeds, dadaegi seasoning paste, and salted shrimp). They also served it with rice (of course) and plenty of their usual side dishes, which I always love (except one of them). They checked in with us a few times to see if everything was great, and we had no complaints. Best dinner I've had in a while. 10/10 highly recommend if they serve it again (which they won't for now). A good idea would be for them to add it on their menu as a special request or a preorder item and let people make reservations for it... just an idea.

Their other dishes are great too, so be sure to check them out if you haven't already... and remember, the first Wednesday of every month is FREE (within their condensed menu).
