Sunflower Austin

Sunflower in north Austin is one of my favorite restaurants. I typically visit for lunch (the lunch specials are a great deal) but visited the other evening with friends for dinner. I ordered the special prawns with garlic noodles. The prawns are fried with the shell on (I was not expecting that but it worked out ok) and were good. I'd have to say the stand out part of the dish was the noodles. I would eat those noodles with anything.

Sunflower is located at 8557 Research Blvd near the Target. Service is lacking, but the food is great.

Stiles Switch BBQ

I recently heard about Stiles Switch BBQ & Brew that opened on North Lamar. I ventured out to give it a try for lunch - it's near my work, and a good BBQ place near work would make me happy. Stiles Switch made me pretty happy. The brisket was moist and flavorful. My biggest problem was the sides: the mac and cheese was dry and the corn casserole was no more than meh. I got the Buford T's Diablo which is brisket, bbq sauce and a ton of jalapenos in a sandwich:

I'll definitely go back. The service was quick and all the guys who worked there were in a great mood. I'm hoping they keep working on their sad mac and cheese (seriously, who likes dry mac and cheese?), but next time I'll try the potato salad.

More cheese, please.

Stiles Switch BBQ and Brew is located at 6610 N. Lamar, Austin, Tx 78757.

Delish Cupcakes

What better way to start this blog than with a cupcake. Delish cupcakes are truly what their name indicates - Delish! The frosting, delicious. The cupcake, fluffy and moist. They even offer a gluten free cupcake everyday.

Delish is located at 209 West 3rd Street  Austin, TX 78701. They are worth finding parking.
