We were late to the pandemic baking game. But last spring our dear friend brought his sourdough starter, affectionately known as the Brooklyn Queen, to our house while he was in town.

He left a bit of the Queen with us and against all odds we have kept her going this last year and a half or so. With some occasional tech support from Hank, and the amazing resources available at , we have had some good successes.

This boule is made following the No Knead Sourdough recipe at KAF. We have also made a mountain of pizza dough, coffee cake, and other treasures from the discarded starter that is an unavoidable part of the starter maintenance process. So glad to finally be on this journey! There is nothing quite like the smell, taste, and sound (!) of fresh baked sourdough. 👃👅👂

Some of our favorite “Nashville” hot chicken is in Louisville. When comes to Austin, we are ready to move next door.

Going to the source of the Ranch Water tonight ahead of the Celebration of Legacy this weekend for Kevin Williamson, Ranch 616’s founder and the King of the Ranch Water. The “Original Ranch Water” differs from how it is frequently made elsewhere—here it is essentially a Margarita built in the glass, topped w Topo and served w the bottle. Upgraded to Patrón Reposado bc 🔥💪😛.

The secret to treasure hunting, we have found, is to not be in a hurry—if you wait long enough, eventually what you are looking for will find you. Hence this giant knife block that we found at an sale this morning. (Knives not included! That would have been more of a “miracle” than a “treasure”; we hold out for both) Queso has inspected and approved the new merchandise.

Came for the Kenji chicken sandwich, stayed for the Queso fries

I want to congratulate this amazing lady-businesswoman-leader-mentor-friend on an incredible accomplishment today as her bar turns 10! You are a marvel and Austin is a better place with you in it. Thank you 🥰

There is a lot of uncertainty in the world right now, but one thing that is not in doubt is our supply of Cane Vinegar from . We are 💯 vinegary AF for the new year.

We ordered from .com3 but if you don’t find yourself in immediate need of a case or more you can also pick it up locally at

WHO WORE IT BETTER at the farmers market this morning?? Queso, the pony-like dog, or the actual pony?!
