Where I Go Out

Breakfast

Jim's Restaurant

$, Breakfast, Diner, Coffee Shop, Steakhouse, North Burnet

"Breakfast at Jim's, couldn't wait to scarf it down. #cleanplateclub"

$$, Breakfast, Italian, South River City

"This mousse is impossibly sweet and creamy! Easily my new favorite version of this dish in town."

$$, Sushi, Curtis Park

"I can't pick just one, which is why I always have both. Rich, decadent, simple, in my belly! ADD: just pure decadent beefy, fatty awesomeness"

$, Indian, Allandale

"These guys are primed to take over the world. I love the lamb saag for its complex, deep, and rich flavors, without it being overly gamey. This place is fast, casual, and unbelievably delicious."

Chinese, Szechuan, North Burnet

"This is numbingly hot; it's like crack. If you don't know the term "mala," look it up. This is it."

Bean and cheese tacos with green sauce

Taqueria Arandinas

$, Mexican, American, Riverside

"Hand made tortilla, smokey beans and the green sauce to beat all green sauces. Two blocks from my house. You can bet if I'm hungover, this is what I'm up to."

$$$, Modern, Pub, American, Downtown

"I had no idea these two things would go so great together; I could eat a bowl of it. Combine this dish with the golden era hip-hop playing throughout the restaurant, and I'm in my happy place."
