Bacon - 900 W. 10th St.

You can't help but picture dishes made entirely of greasy bacon, when thinking of Austin, Texas's new restaurant Bacon, which is slightly misleading. Bacon features a variety of breakfast plates, burgers, a rotating selection of flavored bacon and more. On display is a collection of bacon memorabilia such as T-shirts and magnets. Their assortment of bacon alternates daily with flavors like hickory, coffee pecan, apple pie spice, Chinese 5-spice and more.

Comparing Austin food carts

At any major intersection in Austin, you can find a variety of food served by an even larger variety of faces. Mobile food carts and trailers are a refreshing change from the traditional four-wall establishments most people think of when deciding where to eat. With the weather finally cooling off after a long hot summer, food carts are a great alternative to being confined to four walls or just an outdoor patio. What most people may not realize is that food carts aren't just for tacos and hot dogs anymore. You can get just about anything from popcorn to cupcakes to gluten free vegan eats.

Top five restaurants to eat at SXSW

Tony's Southern Comfort Food 1201 E. 6th St. One of my favorite restaurants. It's conveniently located on the east side of I-35 when I want to get some time away from the chaos of Sixth Street. I have yet to find another great home-cooking restaurant that doesn't affect my poor college kid budget.

Bistro entree-ducing Austinites to talents of ACC

Austin Community College's Bistro 3158, a restaurant put on by their culinary students, offers a tantalizing selection of food from different cultures and gives you an upscale dining experience. The restaurant, located at the Eastview Campus, is an elegant dining experience from the moment you walk through the door.

Culinary classes create affordable gourmet meals

Bistro 3158 opens doors, serves food from around the world

Sarah Neve Campus Editor The culinary program's student-run restaurants reopened for the first time this semester on Thursday, Oct. 9 at the Eastview Campus. An impressive display of traditional French foods was on the menu for the opening.

The Tavern price is right

Lunch has always been a favorite subject of mine throughout all of my years of school. Even in college not much has changed except now lunch is even better because I can choose where I eat and what I want to eat. I found out quickly that no matter I'm craving, The Tavern - located a few blocks away from the Austin Community College Rio Grande Campus on the corner of 12th Street and Lamar Boulevard - has it all, from mini corndogs to crab cakes.

Food review: Double Dave's near Northridge

Double Dave's Pizzaworks, the popular pizza joint located in the shopping center across from the Northridge Campus, is a fantastic place to eat within walking distance and is definitely affordable. The lunch buffet between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. has a great variety of pizzas, pepperoni rolls, stromboli, dessert pizzas, and a salad bar.

MT Supermarket brings a taste of the east to North Austin

Authentic, affordable and flavorful food is often found in the most unlikely places. The picturesque Little Italys and Chinatowns, settled by newly arriving immigrants at the turn of the 20th century, are quickly becoming overpriced museums of a bygone era.

At El Regio, they do chicken right

Be it foie gras in Provence, grub worms in Oaxaca, or a particular cheese aged in a particular cave in the Pyrenees, there is no better social barometer than the foods we eat. A people's foodways are crafted through centuries of cultural and economic circumstance, new patterns of migration, the rise and fall of empires.

The breakfast taco as fine art at Acuario's

Everyone, at some point in their lives, curses the creator of Mondays. My usual chant is pretty simple, mainly consisting of various words not suitable for use in this article. Since we are all at some collegiate level, I'm sure you can imagine. From that point on, we spend the next five days preparing ourselves for our immortality.

ACC's Culinary program offers aspiring chefs an affordable education

While the claim that Austin is the "Music Capital of the World" Austin is debatable, Austin is quite possibly the food capital of Texas, if not the entire region. Mexican, German, Korean, Vietnamese and Indian cuisines have all had a profound influence in shaping Austin's food scene, making it a true melting pot of international flavors.
