Hailing from the Ozarks, Addie Broyles expanded her cooking (and eating) skills on the West Coast and Spain before settling in Austin, mainly for the aguas frescas at the taco stand down the street from her house where she, husband Ian and son Julian are now attempting to grow their own food in the backyard. They recently welcomed another baby boy and two chickens to the family.
Relishing food is about taking time to enjoy what has become the often hurried and mundane task of nourishing our bodies. Relish Austin is Addie's search for things that make her go "mmmm." High brow, low brow. Fast food, slow food. In Central Texas. On the Web. On the streets. In your garden and in your kids' lunch box. In your refrigerator and on your dinner table.
Relish Austin is also the name of Addie's print column that appears in the Austin American-Statesman a few times a month.

The no-food fridge really exists.
Nicole Carbon, a blogger and freelance writer who lives just a few blocks from Whole Foods, keeps only a few things in her fridge: Shiner Bock, her husband’s favorite, Champagne, Pellegrino (for hydration), coffee (she even has the PLU number memorized) and (surprise!) hot sauce for perking up just about anything they buy from the to-go counters at Whole Foods or restaurant leftovers.
With no citrus or other cocktail-making ingredients in her fridge, Carbon prefers to get her drinks — and fodder for her blog, Fabulous Drinks Austin — at cocktail hotspots around town. Her favorite venues to grab a drink? Perla’s, San Jose Hotel and Gueros Taco Bar for their handshaken margaritas.
What three things are always in your fridge? At least two bottles of Champagne (you never know when there will be cause for celebration and then you need a backup), Allegro Extra Dark French Roast Coffee from Whole Foods (PLU #323), sparkling and still water.
What’s your favorite late-night snack? I am addicted to mixed nuts and raw almonds.
What’s the strangest thing you put hot sauce on? We put hot sauce on everything; it cures what ails ya!

Nicole - Does your fridge really look like that? It doesn’t look like it’s ever hosted actual food!
