New Burger Options Coming Soon

08/20/2008

There is discussion on Chowhound about two new burger places opening soonish here. First is Mooyah, a Dallas-based chain. It is due to open any day now at Burnet and 183 (has been under construction forever) Their thing is "Just burgers. Just fries. Just better." Yelp reviews for the Dallas locations are mostly positive.

Next is Five Guys, which I read about on some NY burger blogs--A Hamburger Today and George "Hamburger America" Motz's Hamburger America blog. Sounds promising. Just received confirmation from the company on location and date:

It does look like we will have a store to be located at 3208 Guadalupe Street in Austin, TX. Its projected opening date looks to be on or around the first week of November.

Forum Taken Down

08/03/2008

I have removed the forum from the site. It became nothing more than a spam magnet. I am going to move the old forum posts over to this blog format once I get it fully implemented.

Great Cheesesteak

07/24/2008

I had heard good things about Hog Island Deli, a downtown-ish Austin sandwich place, and finally had a chance to try out their much vaunted (on Chowhound if I recall) cheesesteak. I must say, it's the best cheesesteak I've had in a while. Much better than the now-mediocre Texadelphia, and better than the pretty good cheesesteak at Jersey Mike's. Hog Island's cheesesteak was so tasty that I had three of them in a span of 4 or 5 days that I had the rare opportunity to be close to downtown.

I only wish they had a location up north.

Site Update

11/15/2007

I overhauled the design of the site for the first time since its launch. Was time for an upgrade. At least we hope it will qualify as an "upgrade". Anyway, a few more changes are on the way, including making this little bit of the home page a "live" blog. And of course we need to go out and hit up some new restaurants...it's been a while.
