Editor’s Note: El Burro closed suddenly in July 2017. I love checking out new restaurants because I like to experience a restaurant in its infancy stage, when it’s still learning to “walk.” It can be rewarding to watch a local restaurant come into its own. I find that younger restaurants are also more likely to take […]

Con Mi MADRE Nurtures Young Latinas on Journey Towards College
In 1992, a Latina baby girl had less than a one percent chance of acquiring a college education. It was a grim statistic, one Austin Latinas and fellow women took to heart. It was a statistic they set out to change. The result was Con Mi MADRE. What began as a mother-daughter program in 1992 […]

Burn Introduces Roman-Style Pizza to East Austin
Editor’s Note: As of December 2016, Burn is closed. Growing up in a pizza shop has made me a pizza connoisseur. Being Italian has made me a pizza snob. I know a thing or two about pizza, and Italian food in general. While I still stand by my 2014 list of “5 Best Pizza Joints in Austin,” I’ve […]
