SXSW Food Lovers' Guide - Tasty Times on Dirty 6th

You're walking down 6th street, thinking that Austin is an awesome food town and wondering where all of the awesome food is. 6th feels more like a college bar zone than anything else. And well, that's because it is. The good news is 6th isn't entirely bereft of good food if you know where to look. 

All of these locations are conveniently mapped on the SXSW Food Lovers’ Guide Pinterest board.

Grab a good bear and some easy food. One part bakery, one part beer garden, and one part restaurant Easy Tiger is a hidden gem at the end of 6th. They cure their own meats in house, bake the most wonderful breads, and have unexpected sides like collard greens. And with a big space downstairs from the street it's great for groups. Head there from the convention center to sample one of their many beers on tap and stock up on carbs and protein before you head back into the SXSW mix.

Sit down to a nice dinner. An oasis on 6th Street, Parkside serves up new American food with a focus on fresh ingredients. I'm a big fan of their bar menu that regularly features oysters from around the country and a hanger steak that's always tender and filling. The raw bar includes a collection ceviches and the macaroni and cheese is worthy of being a meal in itself. And whatever you do, don't miss dessert. There's always some form of doughnut you'll think you should share but won't want to.

Have a slice that you won't regret. An extension of Parkside, Backspace is a wood-fired pizza restaurant tucked just off of 6th street. You won't find greasy cheese and pepperoni on this menu, but instead you can enjoy offerings like the bianca with arugula, mozzarella, ricotta, and pecorino romano or the roasted squash with chicken sausage, sage pesto, and caciocavallo. All of the antipasti are wood-fired as well with vegetables rotating in seasonally. The marinaded olives, warmed at the edge of the oven are a must-try.

SXSW Food Lovers' Guide - Break Away

SXSW is fun, so much fun. It's full of opportunity, learning, networking, parties, libations, and more libations. But sometimes you want a break from the crowds and mayhem to regain your SXSW mojo and explore Austin a bit more. And if I were you, these would top my itinerary.

All of these locations are conveniently mapped on the SXSW Food Lovers’ Guide Pinterest board. My other SXSW guides: Tasty Times on Dirty 6th True Austin Experiences Business Noshing

Have a ramen experience. All the rage in other cities, ramen has only just recently found its place in the Austin food scene. At the heart of this growing infatuation with slurpy noodles is Ramen Tatsu-Ya, a trailer turned brick and mortar (now with two locations) that almost always sports a line. The good news is the line moves right along and at the end is a bowl of warm, smooth, noodly perfection. The flavor is rich and the pork perfectly braised. For the full experience add a couple of bombs to your bowl (my favorites are buttery corn and spicy) and some yodas (brussels sprouts) and edamame on the side. 

Have an an intimate dinner. Tucked away in a renovated house, a visit to Lenoir always makes me think that I've been lucky enough to be invited to the home of owners Todd Duplechan and Jessica Maher. The menu changes weekly to take into account seasonality and Todd's imagination. For $40 for a 3-course menu it's one of the best dining deals in town. If you get a chance, stop into Metier, their kitchen goods store next door. Offering an eclectic collection of cookware, cookbooks, bar goods, and dish ware curated by Jessica it's full of great finds. I bet you don't leave empty handed. 

Go on a food adventure. Tucked away just a bit north of campus, Foreign & Domestic is a cozy space with a menu that is unexpected and promises you an unforgettable dinner. Chef Ned Elliot takes familiar flavor combinations like ham, cornbread, and tomatoes or lamb and root vegetables and turns them into creations like Speck Ham & Warm Cornbread w Tomato Jam and Black Hills Meat Lamb Loin with Brussels, Parsnip, Pear, Black Garlic Catsup. You can't get a reservation but it's well worth the time investment. Take a few friends along and sit on the patio while you wait.

Have breakfast any time of day. Hangover or not, sometimes you just want breakfast. And when a waffle as big as your head or Eggs Benedict on biscuits instead of an English muffin will just hit the spot, 24 Diner just outside of downtown is the place to be. While "Diner" is in their name, they aren't your typical greasy spoon. Sourcing fresh ingredients from all over town, they offer breakfast 24 hours a day (as their name implies) but they also have a sandwiches, one of the best burgers in town (make plans for a nap afterwards), fresh vegetables and salads, and corn fritters that I may have eaten a whole plate of more than once.

Best in SXSW food: Sunday

Food blogger Addie Broyles spent the day at some of the most innovative food experiences at SXSW. Check out some of her posts below.

While the robots revolted when Addie wanted a latte, the committed were rewarded with a new twist on conventional coffee.

Smoked ceviche, smoked ice cream, smoked pork belly...the Smoke Experiment brought their imagination as contestants looked for the best smoked dishes.

SXSW food for any situation

SXSW is a marathon, not a sprint. And one of the most important parts of the marathon is finding ways to refuel.  While running into CVS or grabbing pizza from a window might seem like a good idea at the time, you can't come to Austin and not take advantage of some of the best food in the country.  

Luckily, Austin360's food bloggers have got you covered, no matter what you are looking for. 

You gotta try this....

...when you want to grab a quick breakfast on the go or when you have time for a sit-down brunch...

...when you are strolling Soco, want to eat at a trailer on the East Side that is NOT an East Side King, or when you find yourself camping out near Auditorium Shores or the Long Center...

...when you want to play hooky from panels to have a lunch date, when you want to impress someone who you hope might one day be your boss, when you have an expense account, or for dinner at 2 a.m...

...when you need a vegetarian bite...

...if you want to shop for groceries for your Airbnb rental and drink a beer while you're at it...

...when you want to leave downtown for a dinner outside of the SXSW madness or if you're at a SXSW satellite venue outside the downtown core...

...when you want all of these recommendations on one page...
