"Food is the only beautiful thing that truly nourishes..." Richard Gere, Autumn in New York
So now that finals are over and I have some time, let's get back to more important things... sharing my favorites with all of you :).
I love food. Period. Some of my fondest memories are triggered by tastes and specific flavor combinations. There is a picture of me at about 5 years old making parathas with my grandmother with the phone wedged between my shoulder and my ear. It's in my DNA.
The delicious inspiration for this post is a restaurant in Austin, TX called the Roaring Fork. Let me tell you now that in addition to making a mean paratha, I think I make a meaner reservation lol. I will try just about any restaurant at least once. Let me also tell you that when I say the food here is like nothing I've ever had... well you had to be there I guess, and by that I mean you HAVE to go there!!
I had a roast chicken with cornbread stuffing and roasted vegetables. My friend's lamb shank was bigger than her face, and another had short rib tacos, as in slow braised short ribs IN A TACO! It was divine and I have been gushing about it to anyone who will listen.
To be clear, I am an equal opportunity "foodie." I love Roaring Fork and restaurants of the like just as much as I love a double cheeseburger from McDonald's or classic crunchy tacos from Taco Bell ;).
Ok now I'm hungry... until next time... bon appetit my loves! <3
