Guest blogger: Taco Journalism
Central Texas food bloggers are taking over Relish Austin this week to answer one question: Food-wise, what are you looking forward to in 2009? I chimed in with my thoughts in today’s Relish Austin print column. Today’s guest blog is from the three taquitos behind Taco Journalism:
When Addie asked us to guest blog about what we were looking forward to in 2009 it got me thinking, what am I looking forward to 2009? Without hesitation I assembled the Taco Journalists at an undisclosed taqueria and got to work. After an hour of sweat, tears and tacos we came up with the following lists:
From El Mundo de Mando:
“09 is gonna be fine, 09 is gonna be fine;” That’s what I keep telling myself as I think about everything that is going on with our economy; these times also bring lots of opportunities (I am a glass full type of person)! And so here are my opportunities and what I look forward to in 2009:
- Authentic Food — We’re tired of 2nd class tacos and over priced taquerias. Let’s bring authenticity!
- Argentina’s Veggie Tacos — I’m bringin’ them back and this it’s for keeps.
- No Whammies — That’s our family motto for 09!
- Home Cookin’ — Lots of it + more recipes on Taco Journalism.
- El Mundo de Mando Tacos - -Yeah, that’s my cook to order taco catering biz!
- Taco-Eating Contest with Open Door Preschools — We’re bringing it back (from the 70s) and doing it for a good cause.
- Más Good Causes — Taco Journalism helped out a few causes this year and we’re looking forward to helping more in 09!
From Jarod:
- Exploring my new neighborhood’s restaurants — I’m looking at you, San Juanita’s!
- Taco Journalism’s move into print. We are going to be cross posting at FearlessCritic.com, and our reviews will be in the Fearless Critic’s 3rd Edition!
- My wife’s “Tacos a la Andrea” for New Year’s Eve!
- More Taco Journalizing! Exploring Austin’s Taco scene is a full-time job and there are new tacos out there every day. We look forward to putting more people in touch with more tacos all year.
From Cornbiter Deluxe:
Things I’m looking forward to in 2009:
- Eating more meals at Thahn nhi. I have never been so consistently blown away by a restaurant. I’ve eaten there 30 times in the last year, and I can’t wait for my next opportunity. Their Pork Paste Spring Roll is possibly the single most delightful thing you can put in your mouth.
- Working on my cocktail craft. I’ve been experimenting with some classic mixology, and am looking forward to expanding my repertoire in this dept. The fancy new Twin Liquor location that opened right next to my office will certainly help.
- Eating food (and blogging about it) while in Hong Kong and Vietnam. My wife and I are taking a three week Asian vacation, and the food is the number one thing on my mind.
- Eating my birthday dinner at Austin Land and Cattle Company. I look forward to this all year every year.
- Learning to make my Mom’s Caldo de Pollo recipe. Sometimes a hearty but healthy bowl of soup is just what the Dr. ordered.
- Talking about tacos and such on our new twitter channel.
