SXSW Eats: A guide to SXSW food guides
How’s this for intimidating:
The above screen grab is from Citizen Taco’s guide to SXSW eats, which doesn’t include every single place to eat in Austin, but rather the places the Austin blogger deems worthy enough to recommend. (He also wrote this where-to-eat during SXSW post over on Serious Eats.)
The number of above-average meals you’ll eat in Austin during SXSW should hit double digits after just a few days, and and if you can’t find anywhere good to eat, you must be walking around with your eyes closed and your nose pinched shut.
Statesman restaurant critic Mike Sutter recently wrote about where you can get true Texas chili, and next week, he’ll be posting his own guides to trailers and 24-hour joints. Last year, I posted this guide to where to eat barbecue if you don’t want to drive to Lockhart, Elgin or one of the nearby smoked meat capitals.
Looking to eat at one of Austin’s famous food trucks? Austin Food Trucks has a map for that.
Want to eat sustainably? Try one of the dozens of places that feature local produce and meats listed in this list from Eat Well Guide.
Vegans will no doubt want to buy Lazy Smurf a tofu sandwich for her list of vegan and vegan-friendly eateries, categorized by location, in Austin.
Fete and Feast rounded up some of her fellow Austin bloggers to create an Austin Food Lovers’ Companion, which features these posts:
Foodie is the New Forty wants SXSWers to know where to find the best Asian food in Austin. (If you’re looking for something high end, here’s her list of upscale places.)
Tasty Touring has this round-up of the 24-hour (and nearly 24-hour) dining establishments.
Austin Farm to Table has another guide to restaurants for locavores.
Miso Hungry Now knows you’re probably going to want something other than beer-flavored water in a can, so she offers her favorite happy hours and watering holes.
The Rebeccammendations created a list of the most Austin-y “restablishments” where you can eat and get a true feel for the vibe of the city.
And last, but certainly not least, if you leave Austin without having eaten a breakfast taco, you should hang your head in shame. (The New York Times published this article today to edumacate non-Austinites to its wonders.) Cosmic Cowgirl rounds up the best places for breakfast, including Maudie’s, Maria’s Taco Xpress and Curra’s.
