Talk about a surefire way to soothe those sniffles during allergy and cold season. All-natural noodle soups like pho and ramen are the PERFECT remedy; as aromatic as they are delicious! This Veggie Pho [above] comes from Chef Pat Lee and my friends at PhoNatic in Austin. A vegetable broth sporting a tasty tapestry of ingredients, including three different types of mushrooms, broccoli, tofu, onion, snap peas, bok choy...stop us if the cravings become too strong! |
The Big Game is a BIG deal at State Fare. Terrific Texas comfort food meets man-size portions, plus over 40 craft beers on tap, cutting edge cocktails and one VERY rare bourbon (Pappy Van Winkle) available in limited supply, starting February 1st!
Brunch at this winning Memorial restaurant will also commence an hour earlier on both Saturday and Sunday as part of the Super Bowl LI festivities.

Warm up with this winter classic that boasts a little somethin' extra! The simmering Cocoa Buie II [above] calls for two parts Drambuie - a Scottish liqueur made from Scotch whisky, honey, various herbs and spices, along with several secret ingredients... ;) Combine with our hot cocoa mix, ground cinnamon and top with mini marshmallows. "Decadence" is the name of this drink. |
It's a recipe I've waited over a DECADE for! The scrumptious Pastel Tres Leches cake you see above comes from a one-of-a-kind chef, who I call "La Maestra." You're going to learn a thing or two from my 'teacher' this weekend on Goodtaste with Tanji!
Aldaco's has been an Alamo City institution since 1989. We share a table with La Maestra Blanca Aldaco for modern Mexican with ties to Guadalajara.
Then, check in at Chi'Lantro - home of The Original Kimchi Fries! This former food truck's standout starter has folks from all over lining up. After that, the homestretch to Holley's, where the only thing larger than the plates is the chef's personality! Here, southern hospitality and seafood meet flavors from the Far East. Plus, my H-E-B Wine Finds are big and bold! |
