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."

$$$$, Happy Hour, Sushi, Japanese, Full Bar, Zilker

"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."

$$$$, Happy Hour, Sushi, Japanese, Full Bar, Zilker

"I always get the foie gras nigiri at Uchi. It's rich, decadent, and simple. The richness of the foie is nicely countered by the sweetness from the seaweed and fish caramel. This is umami."

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."

Strawberries & lardo

$$$, 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."
