This ‘Odd Duck’ Really Stands Out!

October 2, 2014 By Tanji Leave a Comment

Local, seasonal fare is spreading in South Austin. It’s a commitment that star chef Bryce Gilmore made prior to Odd Duck’s brick & mortar opening with its sister location just down Lamar, Barley Swine. Sleek, modern and inviting, we’ve been anxious to try Chef’s seasonal menu at Odd Duck…

Original Ninfa’s Pumpkin Margarita

October 26, 2013 By Tanji Leave a Comment

This delicious drink comes from Chef Alex Padilla at the award winning Ninfa’s Restaurant in Houston. The pumpkin puree for this cocktail is a bit time consuming but so worth the effort. Kids can enjoy a non-alcoholic version made with the pumpkin puree and seltzer. Note that the puree is best made a day ahead of time to allow the flavors to intensify…bottoms up!

The Margarita Master Continues to ‘Wow!’ at La Fonda

February 3, 2013 By Tanji 1 Comment

“Juan’s special touch, fresh lime juice, and plain good tequila.” That’s the recipe for over 40 years of success as told to me by Hans White, owner and operator of La Fonda Alamo Heights — a local legend at Tex Mex. Of course he’s referring to his world famous bartender, Juan, who has been with La Fonda over four decades!
