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.

Updated with photos of Petersen’s new dishes and link to story on Thursday’s Austin360 magazine.
Paul Petersen, the Texas chef who gained national attention at the Gage Hotel in Marathon, has been quietly working at the
Vivo at RM 620 and Lake Creek Parkway for the past six months.
Petersen, who competed on the TLC show “BBQ Pitmasters” a few years ago, is focusing on Tex-Mex barbecue fusion, adding dishes like brisket tacos, crab enchiladas and pan-seared queso fresco with mango and papaya salsa to the menu. Margaritas will likely always be a bestseller at the restaurant, but Petersen has revamped the wine list since starting there, too. (To find out more about Petersen’s return to Central Texas,
check out this story in Thursday’s Austin360 magazine.)
Petersen first made a splash on the Austin scene with Little Texas Bistro in Buda, which he was opening at the same time Roger Diaz was opening the original Vivo on Manor Road. They knew each other then and reconnected
as Petersen was leaving Rick’s ChopHouse in McKinney.
