😋 Brunch at 😋

…inside Austin Proper is one of those Austin brunches that feels familiar at first, then keeps the surprises coming 👀

Everything we tried was packed with flavor and clearly intentional. The menu pulls from classic breakfast and brunch formats, but uses global influence in a way that actually expands your palate instead of distracting from the food.

The lamb khachapuri was a standout - my top savory pick - a Georgian-inspired, wood-fired flatbread topped with parmesan, slow-cooked lamb ragu, and a baked egg in the center. Eat it like a breakfast pizza: rich, savory, comforting, and very hard to stop picking at - FIRE 🔥

The ricotta toast deserves its own callout, especially knowing they’re using baked goods.

That brioche eats almost like a hybrid between toast and croissant 🫣 buttery, structured, and indulgent without being heavy. This is my top sweet pick - with the pancakes being a close second 🥈

Speaking of, the blueberry & semolina pancakes were WILD - best pancakes I’ve had in a long time. They’re just perfect 😂

The chia pudding really surprised me 👀 deep, rich coconut notes offset by bright citrus fruit and crunchy pepita granola that kept everything lively.

There’s also a solid juice and smoothie program here if you’re leaning lighter 🫜 fresh juices, wellness-forward smoothies, and thoughtful add-ins that don’t feel like an afterthought.

Service is consistently excellent, which tracks for a higher-end downtown Austin spot like this, and the setting is genuinely gorgeous ❤️🫶 calm, warm, and polished without feeling stiff.

Brunch runs roughly 7am–4pm, making it an easy move whether you’re starting the day slow or settling in for a longer sit.

Valet is available for $25, so ridesharing or giving yourself a little extra time to park nearby is the move.

Worth trying in Austin 🤝

🔥 MUST TRY WINGS 🔥



THESE ARE A MUST TRY IF YOU LOVE WINGS

Proudly boasting a 4.7 ⭐️ on Google with over 1,000 reviews - and a 7.9 in (my most trusted source m) - POTLUCK has been grinding in the food game for years 🫡

The flavor I LOVE and recommend to others is BLUE MAGIC - idk why I spelled it with a “K” in the pic - just seemed special enough to swap the C for the K 😂

These wings are a great size; they tossed and heavily coated in a buffalo sauce that packs a punch 🔥 not gonna ruin your night, but a good solid burn - then they top these big boys off with some proprietary powder that likely includes a bit of that ranch powder midwesterners like myself have come to know and love ❤️

Posting this now because I’m watching the NCAA playoff pregame and that’s also why I ordered these tonight’s. Sports need wings - and you need these wings 🤝

I actually got these off DoorDash and I think there’s a discount if ya order a certain amount of 🍗 - they also have a physical location off Riverside.

So, if you’re a River Rat 🐀 like me - give these wild wings a try 🤜🤛

Talk to ya later 🏈

❤️ Family Meal ❤️

I wanted to share a cool experience I had late last year - and one I hope to continue to have in 2026

I was a lucky liaison between and 🤝

There was a desire to be a little more community focused from HD’s side and I have had a long standing professional relationship with them 🤜🤛 so I thought it would be a cool idea if they were able to provide “family meal” to some local all-stars doing their thing in Austin 🤠

Melissa and the team at Mercado were more than happy to accept some thick burgers, veggie burgers, and the most under rated chicken tenders in town 🍗

I’m hoping to do a few more of these in 2026 because they fall under the “win / win” bucket in my book 🫡 thanks again

Hope yall are enjoying this beautiful day in Austin - if you’re bored to tears like I am, I’d suggest hitting / .golden.horn.atx for the pop up 🥵 it’s running until 4pm today, I believe ❤️

🤑 Clarksville Steakhouse with an On-Site Dry-Aging Room

Ari’s is a Clarksville steakhouse bringing a Mediterranean lens to classic steakhouse cooking 🤠 and they claim to be the only steakhouse in Austin with a fully on-site dry-aging room, which is front and center when you walk in.

We leaned into the menu and it delivered across the board.

We started with the Hiramasa Crudo ($24) — clean, bright, and layered with black garlic shoyu, blood orange, dill oil, and furikake. One of the better crudos we’ve had recently.

The bread plate deserves its own mention 🥖 especially the olive oil marmalade, which we couldn’t stop talking about.

For mains, I ordered the Bone-In New York Strip (16 oz, $95) 🫣 Certified Angus Beef Prime by Niman Ranch, dry-aged 21 days. Rich, deeply beefy, and cooked exactly right.

My girlfriend went with the Pan-Seared Fish ($55) served with butternut squash, sunchoke butter, and risotto — light, balanced, and thoughtfully plated.

On the side front:
• Honey Harissa Carrots ($14) — sweet, savory, and addictive
• Israeli Salad ($12) — cucumber, tomato, red onion, pomegranate, herbs, hummus
• We also loved the cucumber-forward hummus component that shows up across the menu

Drinks were simple and solid — a glass of red wine and a bottle of beer — letting the food do the talking.

Total bill was $214 before tip - we RARELY treat ourselves and I never spend money on steak…so this was a splurge and a test on many fronts 😂 the NY STRIP WAS FIRE 🥵

Beyond the food:

✔️ Service was stellar
✔️ Interior is gorgeous 😍 warm, modern, and polished without feeling stiff
✔️ Feels ideal for date night or a special dinner, without classic steakhouse stuffiness

📍 1301 W 5th St, Austin, TX 78703 (Clarksville)

🕰️ Dinner-focused service (check current hours before going)

🚙 On-site Valet is $8

🤠 AUSTIN TEXAS BISCUITS & GRAVY 🤠

INFLUENCED ME 😂 I had been to before - but I had never had their biscuits and gravy 👀 and her video convinced me to head back in and try them out 🫡

Toasty Badger is a tiny diner on South Congress, near Oltorf. It opened a couple of years ago and is part of a restaurant group that I think is out of Chicago 💨

The interior gives off old school diner - the prices give off 2025 Austin 😂

Now - I did REALLY enjoy the biscuits and gravy - the gravy leaned very heavy in to queso territory 🧀 there’s no mention of cheese in the gravy but it wouldn’t be bad on a plate of nachos - to be clear, this is not a complaint. I LOVE my gravy to be rich and almost queso like.

For $12.99 I would’ve loved more sausage - don’t think I got much. But the tomato jam and the fried egg + house made hot sauce all added value to the plate - these are elevated, no doubt.

The service was excellent and swift considering how packed the were - so that made the experience great as well.

I’m looking at another favorite of mine - Phoebes Diner - and for a similar size serving, they’re priced at $6.99 🫣 which makes it tough to justify the $12.99

If you’re a fan of biscuits and gravy - I would suggest ya try these out. They’re great. Just not a price that allows me to enjoy them very often 🫠

If y’all don’t already follow - plz do so, she’s the goat of this s**t and both her and her husband are great people ❤️

Talk soon, have a nice day 🤠

🚨 NEW MENU DROP 🚨

Coming in January from | East Austin

East End Ballroom is preparing to launch a January culinary activation led by culinary director - featuring a limited-time menu designed to run alongside the venue’s live music and event programming.

A key dish in the lineup is a duck confit ramen, built as a cold-weather offering for the winter activation.

The upcoming food lineup centers on cold-weather dishes inspired by Asian street food traditions. Planned offerings include duck confit ramen, Korean BBQ–inspired wagyu steak, scallion chicken & waffles, and additional brunch items. Beverage programming for the activation will include Asian-inspired cocktails developed by the East End Ballroom team using locally sourced ingredients.

Located on the far east side of East Austin, East End Ballroom operates as a large, multi-use space for live music, food, beverage, and community programming. The building previously housed Koko’s Bavarian and has since been reactivated with a broader focus on events and rotating culinary concepts.

The January food activation is scheduled to run alongside East End Ballroom’s regular live music, nightlife, and additional activations, with continued programming planned into February.

For current hours, events, and upcoming food programming, follow 🤜🤛
