Had another good one a couple of weeks ago. Good enough, in fact, that they've now made it the regular Friday special at Uptown. (Not my doing!)

I hate to see this thread hanging here, because I'd love to know myself. I twice had trips to Austin lined up that ended up being cancelled. Been trying to get to Uchi for years.

Always happy to check out a new dumpling and noodle shop! 7 Garden Dumpling & Noodle House has been a little buzzy on the intertubes as of late. Not that that means much these days. (The prevailing intertube personalities seem to be... less than discriminate.) But definitely seemed worth checkin...

The Marcella beans and the chickpeas are my staples, but they have so many freaking cool-looking heirloom varietie...

That Bun Mang Vit at Hue Gourmet is a heck of a deal. It isn't quite what it was before Lan left, but it's still pretty damn good. Sottise.jpg Looks like the duck set at Sottise hasn't changed, and I'll second (Third? Fourth?) it. Very nice dish. Five spice scent with toasty hazelnuts, grapes and ca...

Wonderful post, Wilbur. Thanks so much. Looking forward to checking it out

Eh... roulade didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped. I thought I only did it once because it was a pain in the ass. Now I'm wondering if I was kinda so-so on it last time as well. Roulade - Torched.jpg Took Plan C to brown it. Convection oven didn't do it. Possible user error. While it rested pre-bro...
