We haven’t seen this much excitement around food

We haven’t seen this much excitement around food since Lady Gaga wore meat to the MTV Video Music Awards 🍗

That’s right, our 2021 City Guide is officially live! You’ll hear all about the greatest food, bars, restaurants, and more that Austin has to offer. Whether you’re looking for:

🥪The best sandwiches
🍜The top spots for ramen
🍹Where to grab the perfect cocktail
🏡Need a place in your neighborhood to check out

This guide has got you covered. Head on over to the link in our bio and start visiting places in this city with gusto. Happy eating and drinking!

Happy hours are the best hours, don’t you think?

Happy hours are the best hours, don’t you think? Cheers to @franklyorganicvodka for hosting a lovely virtual time! @jojoaustin keeping these mini bottles looking stylish.

Posted @withregram • @jojoaustin Isn't it great when you learn more about something you already love that makes you love it even more? Me too!

Austin local, 100% organic @franklyorganicvodka invited the Austin Food Blogger Alliance for a virtual happy hour, and may I just say they are doing everything the way I hope people would?

Fresh, organic ingredients, zero garbage in their vodka, AND they give back a percentage of profit to various animal rescue organizations, including @austinpetsalive and many smaller animal rescue orgs.

My favorite is the pomegranate lemon, with a close second of grapefruit with Ceylon cinnamon. The strawberry-lemon vodka is their most popular flavor, nice for summer, and even has turmeric in it (functional ingredients only).

They were originally inspired by a wellness shot at @wholefoods and that inspired the whole line of Frankly vodka, and is my favorite winter (for me) vodka, apple and ginger root with cayenne. Giddy up! That's something we need in our mules, STAT! All you need is this delightful spirit and a splash of ginger beer or soda.

They also have the base vodka for those who want to mix it with their own favorite mixers. I genuinely love and buy this vodka. In fact, the second I got off the #afbahh I ordered a bottle to be delivered.

Thanks @atxfoodblogs and Frankly! The best part is you can find it at many of your fave liquor stores and bars. I highly recommend trying this vodka.

Seeing these cocktails is making us nostalgic for our @still_atx happy hour. We’re raising a virtual glass to you - cheers!

@wanderlustanita Brunch cocktails! 🍹 Bloody Marys are not typically my first choice, but when I tasted the Queen Mary (it's got @still_atx's gin in it) my taste buds were in love! I loved my Gin and Juice too. It had orange and pineapple juice in it. No more simple mimosas for brunch, please. Still Austin cocktails plus @thebeardedbakingcompany food are brunch goals! 😍 Swipe to see the cocktail menus and to peep an updated design on their gin bottles. (Thank you, Still Austin for comping our first round!)

Live look at what our trivia winners will do to the @wunderkeks_atx cookies… 🍪 A huge thank you to Wunderkeks for hosting our holiday party and sponsoring trivia night! Wunderkeks is an online bakery born and raised right here in ATX and pairs classic cookie recipes with some quirky fun flair. Founders Hans and Luis are the dynamic duo behind these #bestcookiesever. They are a married couple who picked up their lives from Guatemala and settled into their new home by following the dream of starting their business. And these cookies are FANTASTIC.
🤤
If you weren’t a trivia winner (it’s okay, most of us weren’t), you can head on over and pick up some cookies or check out their new Wunder Boxes. Your cookies come in fun and playful packaging; coated in eye-catching pink and packed with the nostalgia of classic toys of yesteryears! There’s no better way to snack than with personalized instructions to get your treats to the next level. And you know what’s even tastier? Stickers! But don’t actually eat the stickers, just show them off on your laptop, bag, guitar, forehead, whatever. People will be like, “I wonder where I can get some Wunderkeks” and then you’ll tell them and have made their day. And making someone’s day is awesome, so go ahead and do it. Thanks for helping us end 2020 in style, Wunderkeks!

This has been a wild year, but we’re still having a great time thanks to @still_atx. What music is keeping you going strong in 2020?

@the_austinot We are so happy for our friends over at @still_atx! They just released their straight bourbon whiskey that, at 98.4 proof, will get you though the rest of 2020!! 🤪 Public sales of this amazing whiskey start TODAY at the @still_atx distillery!! Definitely check them out & a big thank you to @still_atx for our awesome #gifted bourbon whiskey! 🥃 #stillaustin #straightbourbonwhiskey #afbahh

End of the month vibes = mango margs. Thanks to @tequila_sheela and @drinksoley for hosting a fantastic virtual happy hour!

@hermodernkitchen 🥭 FACT: the first time I tasted mango it was in one of those artificially flavored frozen mango margaritas (I grew up in the country folks, no judgement!) 🤷‍♀️ However, THIS margarita is not that at all. THIS mango margarita is made with organic 100% blue agave @tequila_sheela and @drinksoley Mango Passion real fruit juice mixer, plus a bit of jalapeño and mint, making it the perfect spicy late summer cocktail.
⠀
☀️ Make it at home by grabbing your own Awesome Margarita Kit from @tequila_sheela and @drinksoley (🔗linked in bio), mix it with lime juice, muddled jalapeño and a handful of fresh mint. Pour over ice in a glass lined with chili-lime salt for extra spice and enjoy. 💥 BAM! Weekend cocktail served! 💥

For all those times you’re craving bourbon but also want a little pick me up - give @devilsrwhiskey’s new coffee bourbon a try 😋 ☕️ 🥃

@discoveringatx @devilsrwhiskey is at it again! They have finally released their coffee bourbon and it should be in stores by the end of the month. Thanks for sending some free samples over to the @atxfoodblogs so we could be among the first to try it out!
.
First, @devilsrwhiskey starts with a Vienna Roast blend of free-trade coffee beans from a local San Antonio coffee roaster. Then, the bourbon is #steepedsinfully with the coffee beans for at least 24 hours at a low temperature. Finally, they mix the bourbon-infused coffee whiskey with 100% organic blue weber agave nectar. The result is a bourbon that already tastes like a mixed cocktail.
.
In addition to just drinking it on the rocks (like I did - it already tastes like a smooth dessert!), they have all kinds of recipes on their website. Make yourself a Devil’s Coffee Colada, a Bourbon Spiked Iced Coffee, a Wake-Up Whiskey Sour… so many options! I’m super interested in making something with ice cream. Like, a boozy #affogato or a coffee bourbon milkshake. Oh my gosh, I’m drooling over here.

Just like our recent happy hour with @delysia_choc

Just like our recent happy hour with @delysia_choc, may your weekend be full of good food and good times.

@sushigirl_atx Have you partaken in virtual tastings over the past few months? @delysia_choc Savor tastings have become one of my favorites! They offer date nights, family tastings, specialty/holiday (hello Father's Day) and the best part.. @delysia_choc ships directly to your home! In addition, you may order additional chocolates & truffles, subscriptions and more.

Their Savor tastings include a virtual guided artisan truffle tasting from the comfort of home specially curated Owner and Chocolatier, Chef Nicole Patel.

If you are looking for a unique Fathers Day Gift, make sure to check out @delysia_choc. They curated a special collection, a special Fathers Day tasting and offer a variety of unique truffles.

Pictured is a recent Texas BBQ @atxfoodblogs educational class our group enjoyed with Nicole which included the delectable flavors of Sweet Tea, BBQ Sauce inspired by @saltlickbbq, Blackberry Cobbler and Pecan. It as recommended to include a sparking water and coffee beans to compliment the tasting, I chose two of my local favorites: @richardsrainwater 💦 and @superthingcoffee ☕️ .

Are there any virtual activities, classes etc that you recommend?

Hope your walls at home bring you this much joy. @infinite_chimp_atx hosted us for a happy hour earlier this year alongside @austinrotisserie. You can stop by the Infinite Monkey Theorem taproom for something to drink or head to Austin Rotisserie’s new home at @thefaroutaustin. Or, you know, you could do both!

Posted @withregram • @phat_phoodies If y’all ain’t a part of @atxfoodblogs, I don’t know what to tell you.

We had a delightful #afbahh getting to know the stylish walls and cool people at @infinite_chimp_atx whilst enjoying some noms from @austinrotisserie. And guess what? If you’re in the Austin Food Blogger Alliance, you get to hang out and enjoy all this goodness with us. But if you’re not a member yet, you can still stop by for sips and eats. Go check it out and let me know how many “mmmmmmms” you give it.

Safe travels to @forking_up on her move across the country! Thanks for spending your last night in Austin enjoying some whiskey with us and @milamandgreenewhiskey @thewhiskeyauthority #AFBAHH

Posted @withregram • @forking_up My last @atxfoodblogs happy hour with @milamandgreenewhiskey! My apartment is empty, and I am making a toast to all the good times with the Austin Food Blogger Alliance. Thanks for the memories, I love you all! 🥃

Is there a better way to celebrate a weekend than with MC Hammer and whiskey? Thanks to @devilsrwhiskey for supplying the goods for another successful AFBA happy hour, and to @foodfidelity for supplying the inspiration for our happy hour jams.

Posted @withregram • @foodfidelity Using COVID to develop my super powers, one of which is to pull flavors from all kinds of ingredients. Tonight I’m sippin on Texas- made Devil River Whiskey infused with smoky Lapsang oolong tea then drank neat or over the rocks. I’m sure other teas work well but black is where it’s at and the smokiness pairs well with the whiskey. Just take a tea bag and let it sit in a few ounces of whiskey for at least 30 minutes but longer preferred. I’m not saying Devils River Whiskey can make you hurt ‘em like Hammer, but whatever Hammertime means for you, it will help get you there. Props to @devilsrwhiskey and @atxfoodblogs for a great #happyhour. #whiskeylover #whiskeygram #texaswhiskey

If queso is involved, you know things are going great. We celebrated #nationalmargaritaday at @taqueromuchoaustin and now we’re reminiscing on #tacotuesday. Enjoy!

Repost @sushigirl_atx Confession, #ihavethisthingwithpink 💓. @taqueromuchoaustin is a literal PINK dream come true as guests see the world through rosé colored glasses. At this newly opened gem you will find Pink Everything to include tacos!

The food is equally delightful and is as delicious as the space is gorgeous. Put On Your Pink Party Hats -> today happens to be #nationaltortillachip day making it the perfect time to check @taqueromuchoaustin!

I was in foodie heaven at the @atxfoodblogs #afbahh Saturday. Thank you Gabriella (btw who is also owner of #atx beloved @gabriellasdowntown) and team for hosting us. OH, and @taqueromuchoaustin is officially the most instagrammble bathroom 🍒💩. Pictured: Carnitas Tacos, my fave #shopkoko queso tee, tortilla chips with salsa sampler & choriqueso and table setting with pretty in pink lemonade.

Question 🥑🧀: Who serves up your favorite tortilla chips, salsa, guac and queso in town? Drop me your favorites below 👇🏼.

It’s all about working those angles. Fabulous concentration from some of our members during a recent happy hour at @sixthandwaller.
