Where I Go Out
Texas toast
$$, Brewery, Outdoor Seating, Full Bar, Bbq, Midtown
"The butter is whipped with a day's worth of barbeque drippings from the smoker... And the Texas toast is how I want every piece of bread to be: light and warm, with a soft chew. Editor's note: you'll find this on their "Social Hour" menu on Tuesdays-Fridays from 4:30 p.m.-6:00 p.m."
PBLT
$, Sandwiches, Deli / Bodega, Village At Anderson Mill
"And I thought I was tired of pork belly. The roasted tomatoes are the clincher in this sandwich."
Tonkotsu Original
$$, Japanese, Ramen, Noodles, Asian, North Austin Civic Association
"The #1 on the menu delivers on the hype for sure: pork belly, marinated egg, wood ear mushrooms, and scallions. I love the egg so much, I get an extra one."
Bánh mì thịt nướng
$$, Asian, Vietnamese, North Austin Civic Association
"Order the chargrilled pork bánh mì. This is it."
Originator smoothie
$, Juice Bar, Zilker
"This is the perfect post-gym workday breakfast. It makes me feel healthy and strong when I can't have bacon, eggs, a Bloody Mary, and a nap after."
At My Venues
Roasted chicken with boozy liver sauce
$$, Outdoor Seating, French, Reservations, Full Bar, Govalle
"The boozy liver sauce makes it. @justinesbrasserie"
Steak tartare
$$, Outdoor Seating, French, Reservations, Full Bar, Govalle
"The beef is fresh and plentiful, and the egg yolk and french fries make everything come together. I like to get extra bread, cut up the hot fries, pour garlic aioli over it and mix it all together. Then I spread this gluttonous mixture over the bread... It's excellent!"
Potatoes au gratin
$$, Outdoor Seating, French, Reservations, Full Bar, Govalle
"These are simple and delicious. They'd definitely be on my short list of what I'd eat today if I were dead tomorrow."
Steak tartare
$$, Outdoor Seating, French, Reservations, Full Bar, Govalle
"This is the dish that hooked me on Justine's. They don't skimp on the seasoning, which I like. Nobody likes a bland tartare!"
Côte du porc
$$, Outdoor Seating, French, Reservations, Full Bar, Govalle
"My wife Stacy and I like the pork chop as a staple. The pork chop is super moist and not overcooked, and those potatoes au gratin on the side are so creamy and delicious."
Bœuf bourguignon
$$, Outdoor Seating, French, Reservations, Full Bar, Govalle
"The beef is fall-apart tender, the broth has perfect consistency, and the vegetables have just the right crunch. You can tell that when they are making this dish, it’s a labor of love."
