Krog St. Market – Gu’s and Fred’s Sampling

May 22, 2015

Find of the month! I was sitting at a red light near the intersection of Irwin and Boulevard, watching someone on a bike doing some sort of stand-still balancing act with their pant leg of their jeans curiously curled up, grease swiped on her tattooed calf, when four electric vehicles came buzzing down Irwin in succession, so I decided […]

Superico Fundido

May 13, 2015

After a few visits, I can say I really enjoy Ford Fry’s Superica at Krog Street Market. I don’t like the puffy taco for which they keep saying they are so famous, but everything else has been very solid to delicioso. The chips and gratis salsas, the margaritas, the patio, service, enchiladas, crunchy tacos, and the […]

O4W Pizza

April 13, 2015

It’s sort of embarrassing, but I sit around and reminisce about food some times, reading old blog posts and looking at photos, thinking about how much I love great butter or a pan of rice. It’s even more fun with friends, like at a get together last night where I was talking about a barbecue trip I took […]

Superica

The fourth full-service restaurant surrounding the bustling food hall, Superica is the sister restaurant of Avalon’s The El Felix, both a Tex-Mex homage to the Houston and Austin styles of Mr. […]

Yalla & Fred’s Revisit

January 14, 2015

I visited Krog Street Market again last week, where if you don’t Instagram pictures of your food you are out of place. Dude and I decided to go early, right when Fred’s Meats and Bread and neighboring Yalla were opening at 11:30, to beat the Friday lunch rush. It was a critical move, and completely necessary if you need to get back […]

The Don

November 30, 2014

Last week I visited Craft Izakaya again with friends, and we finished our excellent sushi bar meal by asking Chef Jason Liang if he would put together a donburi (rice bowl) for us, comprised of whatever he was feeling. A rice bowl is a comforting ending to any sushi meal (I also enjoy a well done tekka maki to […]

Krog Street Market Is Sort of Open / Fred’s Meat & Bread

November 25, 2014

Yesterday marked “day one” of Krog Street Market. Never mind that Craft Izakaya and The Luminary have been open for months, and that most of the food stalls are not open yet. But I guess the first of the stalls have begun serving customers, so I was there, day two, ready to eat. Pretty much […]
