Salt Lick BBQ, it’s like the Disneyland of BBQ joints.  Guaranteed great food, service and atmosphere.  Every time.

Yesterday was Impressionism, today is food à la Wayne Thiebaud.  Triangle pie on triangle plates.

I love this food image because it feels so impressionistic.  I couldn’t begin to tell you what this is…maybe tomato soup in a martinin glass?  With a floating white disc…cheese? radish? scallop?

Breakfast at Foreign and Domestic.  The best looking pancakes I’ve seen in quite awhile.  Apparently they were just so delicious, with creme fraiche and apple compote all over them.

I don’t eat pizza due to my gluten problem, but isn’t this slice just pretty? Spinach and bacon and ricotta cheese.  Seen at Il Sogno Osteria.

Back by popular demand, more pictures of food in black and white!

To commemorate this auspicious occasion, I will award $1 to the first person who can identify the following plates of food.

Extra credit points if you can name the landmark restaurants where I ate these meals

Almost literally the next day we went to a new school taco joint.  We tried out Tacos and Tequila with Anita and Ashish (one of my lovely wedding couples here in Austin, they got married last year).  Never you mind that crazy expression on Ashish’s face, it was actually quite tasty.  Plus I liked the big rubber bands on the menu and the rebar tequila bottle holder over the bar.  Very artsy way to display your tequila.

Noah and I grabbed a taco lunch at an old school place, El Milagrito.  I was tempted to order the “Weiner and Egg Plate”, but chose the ultimately amazing mini barbacoa tacos with avocado slices.

Avocado and tomato salad, along with artichoke hearts, onions, cilantro, lime vinaigrette and toasted pumpkin seeds.  My favorite salad at South Congress Cafe in Austin.

I thought this cheddar cheese sculpture was, well, cheesy.  But every time I look at this image, it makes me smile.  Two thumbs up for cheesy.
