It Was a Blogger Bash

Kudos to Austin360.com, Whole Foods, and Go Texan for hosting (what will hopefully be an annual event,) the Food and Wine Blogger Bash last night. With cooking demos from Tyson Cole and Jesse Griffiths as well as a Texas Two-Sip blind wine tasting the event entertained the palette as well as the mind.

Go Texan or Go Home

The Texas Department of Agriculture is sponsoring a GO TEXAN Restaurant Round-up this coming Wednesday, October the 1st, with participating restaurants offering local ingredients and wines, with a portion (sometimes all) of the proceeds going to help the local food bank(s).

I encourage anyone interested in promoting a return to the good old days of eating locally, seasonally and most importantly responsibly to give it a look. A list of the participating central Texas eateries can be found here.
