Huge thanks to @eatdrinkanthem for having me out last night to sample their menu. I was not monetarily compensated and all opinions are my own. Think Asia/Polynesia meets Texas and you'll have an idea of the diverse cuisine. Loved the fully loaded sweet potato fries, which I was shocked at how crispy they were for sweet potato! Would so eat these again and I actually really want to try their smoked tofu dish! Other dishes pictured: cocktails, raw oysters, tiki taquitos with kim chee, popcorn chicken + bubble waffle w white showy gravy, tempura cauliflower w Thai green goddess dressing, border salad and the Upside Down Pineapple Bread Pudding. Have to say all the fried stuff was exceptionally well fried, crispy and not greasy. Our server was excellent too. Rainey Street isn't my scene but it was a fun night out & glad we used @lyft! Lots of vegetarian/vegan options too. #texasian #polynesian #hawaiian #tikibar #aloha #howdy #umamiodyssey #raineystreet #downtownaustin #austinrestaurant #instafood #foodporn #foodstagram #austineats #igaustin #atxeats #512eats #austin360eats #foodie #foodblogger #austinblogger #southaustinfoodie #afba #sweetpotatofries #oysters #bubblewaffle #tempura #cauliflower #vegetarian

Big thanks to @modernmarket for setting me up with rewards points on their app! 🤗 It's a very useful app with a built-in QR code which you use to pay. No having to keep track of a separate gift card. 👍 (They also did not ask me for a post, just for my consideration.) I got take out once and then met @madbettyatx for a lunch date this week. Loved the cucumber lemonade and the bacon, corn & basil pizza. 🍕 Farmer's salad 🥗 was large and had chicken, avocado🥑, strawberries🍓 and cotija cheese. I will say both times, the grains have been mushy in the bowls but this Buddha bowl with tofu was only $8. It is fresh, affordable food, no hormones or additives, and also very budget friendly for what you are getting! And they do a lot of carry out business.Thanks Modern Market! #freshfood #lemonade #pizza #bacon #corn #salad #grainsbowl #buddhabowl #tofu #noadditives #hormonefeee #westlake #beecavesroad #westaustin #chainrestaurant #multiplelocations #instafood #foodporn #foodstagram #austineats #igaustin #atxeats #512eats #austin360eats #foodie #foodblogger #austinblogger #southaustinfoodie #afba

Did you know @moviehouse has opened in southwest Austin at Southwest Pkwy & Wm Cannon? 🎥A big thank you for having me out last week for a sneak peek of First Man 🚀🌛(go see it!!). Such big comfortable chairs to really relax in! My friend and I started with happy hour in the lobby bar. Then they treated us to a 4-course food and drink pairing menu🍷🍸🍺 -- the steak sandwich and roasted root veggies 🥕were my faves, with the burger🍔 being up there too because you know, bacon.🥓 Burger photo courtesy of Moviehouse. Get your ticket and relax in comfort for a couple of hours! New fall menu specials too. #movies #comfort #relax #putyourfeetup #wine #happyhour #craftcocktails #beer #burger #bacon #steaksandwich #rootvegetables #makesthemoviesbetter #southwestaustin #movietheater #lantanaplace #fallmenu #media
