SXSW Reviews: The Food Hits & Misses

By Ginny, on March 24th, 2011%

SXSW was, of course, just as much about the food as anything else. This year more than any other year it seemed Austin’s food scene was a major component to SXSW, with trailer scavenger hunts, food competitions, and the increase use of restaurants as venues.  One of my favorite events was the Food Experiment Tour’s stop by Austin where 23 local amateur chefs brought their A game to deliver some amazing pork themed dishes.

SXSW Food Hits: The Halal Guys Trailer

By Ginny, on March 24th, 2011%

The Halal Guys Fafalel & Lamb Gyro – $6 – $7. How has this trailer never been discovered and have lines around the block! The falafel was spicy, flavorful and maybe my favorite ever. The gyro was stuffed with grilled onions and tender, mouthwatering lamb. Order the secret sauce!

On the corner of 7th and Red River.

The Falafel – best I have ever had!

SXSW Food Hit: Roberta’s Pizza

Roberta’s Pizza

The visiting food vendor from Brooklyn served up perfectly cooked pizzas to hundreds of hungry concert goers with ease and perfection. Fresh mozzarella, chewy crust, and an efficiently run system made Roberta’s a must eat for me!

SXSW Food Hit: Bits and Druthers

By Ginny, on March 24th, 2011%

Bits and Druthers’ Fish and Chips – $7. While I don’t believe it is legally allowed to eat this much fried batter, this was sinfully delicious. Despite the beer batter crust, the fish inside was still flakey and perfectly cooked. Enough to share!!!

SXSW Food Hit: backspace

By Ginny, on March 24th, 2011%

Backspace. With special SXSW hours, the Italian spot in the heart of all the madness handled the crowds very well as our food and service were both excellent.

There is something to be said for a perfect salad.

The amazing pizza.
