First trip to Black's BBQ. Parking is a little crazy but the brisket is worth it. #bbq #austin #texasbbq #barbecue #food (at Black's BBQ Austin)

A slice of eggplant pizza from Homeslice Pizza on South Congress. I love places that do NY style pizza by the slice for lunch. #food #pizza #lunch #austin #austintx #soco (at Home Slice Pizza)

Knocking out a little work thanks to coffee this morning at @houndstoothcoffee's downtown location. It's amazing that there's a local coffee shop instead of a Starbucks in a bank tower. #coffee #austin #austintx (at Houndstooth Coffee - Frost Tower)

Green Chile Queso with fries from Hopdoddy. First time eating queso without chips or tortillas, but their take on it is incredible. #queso #austintx #austin #food #texmex #hopdoddy #burgers (at Hopdoddy Burger Bar)

The Eggs Ranchero at North by Northwest's brunch this morning. Perfect degree of doneness on the eggs and the ranchero sauce went nicely with the yolks. #brunch #food #craftbeer #texasbeer #austin #austintx (at North by Northwest Restaurant and Brewery)

Visiting Houndstooth Coffee on Lamar this afternoon to get a little work done. Amazing quality coffee! Not the greatest coffee shop to work from but definitely a place I'll come back to for an afternoon caffeine boost. #coffee #austin #austintx #atx #caffeine (at Houndstooth Coffee)

The 3 enchilada plate from Los Chilaquiles. Very good enchiladas. Spicy salsa verde, good flavorful gravy, and a good sour cream sauce. #texas #texmex #food #cedarpark #mexicanfood #enchiladas (at Los Chilaquiles Bar & Grill)

Barbacoa & pastor street tacos from Los Chilaquiles in Cedar Park. Served with a little bit of onion and avocado with a pineapple salsa on the pastor, these are very authentic. Not the best street tacos I've ever had, but the best I've had in a restaurant that isn't a taqueria. #tacos #texas #cedarpark #mexicanfood #texmex #food (at Los Chilaquiles Bar & Grill)
