In 2002, Matthew Lee quit his high tech job to open a gelato and espresso shop in Central Austin called Teo Espresso, Gelato & Bella Vita. In the beginning, there were naysayers who doubted that Lee would be successful. “What do you know about gelato?” he remembers hearing. But the truth is, he did know something […]
Yummin’ Austin Ramen: Daruma
Everyone has gotten excited about the ramen excursions I’ve been doing for the Austinot. As a result, my ramen posse has expanded quite a bit.

Beer, or the consumption thereof, has inspired many otherwise rational people to do things they would never have thought […]

So for my next foray in the Yummin’ Austin Ramen series, I checked out Kome Sushi Kitchen, located at 4917 Airport Boulevard. Kome is mostly famous for their fresh, delicious, sushi. […]

I conspired with my Austin Twitter posse, coordinating a group lunch […]
