Excuse me while I go out find all the different ways to use this liquor of magnificence that has been under my nose since 1980 when I saw Urban Cowboy for the first time. Backing up a little... once a month I have the privilege of spending happy hour with some of the sweetest and most talented foodies enjoying some of the best food and cocktails that Austin has to offer. I usually love everything but this time I was blown away by a new discovery. Do. Not. Laugh. But I’d never had Mezcal. 😳. I LOVE Smokey flavors and had no idea about Mezcal y’all! But the fantastic people at the Revelry @rkbatx provided me with my new obsession when we were there to sample the menu they will be serving at their sister bar #Revelryontheblvd opening this fall! I will be there every day if i can have this drink! Mezcal is a word formed from the Aztec word “mexcali” which means over cooked agave. Thank all the crazy Aztec gods that their ovens smoked and gave mezcal that amazing smoked flavor! The mixologists at The Revelry aptly named this sultry girl “Come Hither”. Made simply with @banhezmezcalartesanal, lime juice and ginger honey syrup she beckons you with her sweet smoky taste. She is a much more appealing call for mezcal than (Insert record scratching sound here) Wes sucking down the worm from his bottle mezcal in the hopes that he would see visions in the movie Urban Cowboy. Anyway... you don’t see visions by eating the worm and most mezcal doesn’t even have the worm. Swipe left to check out pics of samples of what Revelry on the Boulevard will be serving. ROTB will be at 6215 North Lamar. What was your last mouth watering discovery?

As a Louisiana girl who loves the bigness of Texas, I am always in search of food and experiences that have the soul of a cajun, heart of a Texan and done in a big way with the eclectic Austin culture thrown in to kick it up a little. In Louisiana itis said that we don’t hide our crazy... we invite it into the porch for a cocktail. Well I have found a place that feeds my Louisiana soul and my big Texas heart right in the middle of Austin. With plant based options that match any meat based ones, kicked up has a proffering of tastes from a global perspective and I don’t have to go to New Orleans and dine with emeril to kick it up a notch. Also, if crazy deserves a cocktail I will have one with brunch ok? @kickedupgrub kicks it up to a whole other level with their French/Asian fusion with a lbokd Sicilian/Mediterranean flair. Here you can find some of the best carnivore as well as plant based dishes in Austin, all in the same place. Unlike many places with a diverse menu, kicked up doesn’t water down quality. Each dish is thoughtfully and immaculately prepared and presented. You start out with a chilled bottle of water and a bread board with rosé wine jam and a croissant (at breakfast and brunch). This is the French toast..... scratch made brioche smothered in custard, flat grilled to perfection and served with a pillow of marscapone and loaded down with macerated fresh fruit. This is French toast being a little extra... or as we call it in Louisiana, a little lagniappe. You can have this right now at Kicked up Grub on South Lamar at the 407 building. Plenty of free parking available! Brunch is served from 7am - 2pm . . . . . . . . . . #filipino #atx #austin #sicilian #frose #watermelon #french #frenchcuisine #vegitarian #yougottaeatthis #kickedupgrub #fickleatx #yelpaustin #ficklefoodie #austineats #austinfood #austinfoodie #austinfoodies #austin360eats #atxfoodie #bestfoodfeed #bestfoodaustin #keepaustineatin #topaustinrestaurants #austinfoodstagram #buzzfeedfood #huffpostetaste #eatfamous #nola #infatuationaustin #liveauthenticigersaustin #igersaustintx (at Austin, Texas)

@theluckyrobotatx @chef_jay42 is ALL about one of my favorite things #sustainability! His #heartonaplate and driving passion is to let Mother Earth breathe and replenish and not use up all of her resources! Including the #bluefintuna. He led us through a beautifully prepared and plated slew of sustainably sources fish and even #vegansushi that tantalized our tastebuds and deluded our eyes! More to come from this amazing sushi adventure soon, and more about how this wonderful hearted chef is working to make us aware of where our food comes from! Thanks #luckyrobot and chef for this amazing experience! #fickleatx #ficklefoodie #atxdrooltime #sushi🍣 #austin #austintexas #austinfoodie #atxfoodie #keepaustineatin #zipkick #zipkickaustin #zipkickambassador #feedtheway #texasfoodie #letseat (at Austin, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs_WdN7lqOs/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1w0gq41lgxdws

The weather in Austin has been more #fickle than I am lately! We legit had one NIGHT of winter and then it was summer in less than 12 hours?? What the what??? No matter how hot or cold it is, one thing you can always enjoy is Moroccan mint tea with a good friend in a beautifully designed and breathtakingly appointed restaurant. Grab a friend and go visit Morocco ...ancient Morocco even....right here in Austin @darnatx! I’m not entirely convinced that you could find a more beautifully opulent setting even in Morocco.... . . . . . I have been amazed lately at the immersive experiences I’ve had lately. I have learned that I adore other cultures and learning about them. Restaurant owners who do not limit themselves to culinary fortitude but seek to literally immerse you into a culture that they are passionate about. @hotelvalenciarw brings anyone who enters it into a Spanish hacienda. I thought that couldn’t be topped until I attended a preview @tilliescamplucy where you enter into a thousands years old building that was disassembled there and then reassembled here in the Hill Country without one nail! Each roof tile on one building was made by a different person. @yuyoaustin brings you into Peruvian “hogar dulce”. So now I’ve learned that immersive experiences are the ones I love most. The delightful owner of Darna moved to the U.S from Morocco and seeks to help other immigrants she comes into contact with acclimate and make use of all of the things afforded them so that they can be self sufficient. She’s has a precious mother hen personality. So honestly it’s like going home to go there and spend time with her. The details are breathtaking and you don’t want to miss one. Almost everyone is handmade and everything but the diner chairs were made in Morocco. The camel skin lamps and ornate artwork on the sconces along with the detailed doors and walls take you away to the Mediterranean. I’m feeling the need to return and I haven’t even started to tell you about the food!

The call of hatch chili 🌶 festivals popping up in stores and restaurants tells the Austinite that it is time to get ready for cooler weather, football and pumpkin spice latte’s-ok pumpkin spice everything. Where do you get your hatch on? @eatztejas #fickleatx #ficklefoodie #ficklefact: #ztejas has an annual hatch chili festival. Each of their chefs put their spin on basic hatch chili recipes. This masterpiece is the smoked chicken hatch enchilada by Chef Fredrico -z tejas west 6th. . . . . . . #hatchchile #satxfood #arizona #newmexico #southerncali #enchiladas #hatchchilefest #austinblogger #austin #austinfood #smokedchicken #celebratefall #austin #downtownaustin #west6th #eatingatx #foodie #foodblogger #austintexas #eateratx #austin #365thingsaustin #austinfoodie ##roundrock #dallasfoodie #EEEEEATS #yougottaeatthis (at Downtown Austin)

It’s Monday and I like to think about good things on Mondays. This breakfast from Franks Restaurant in @visitbatonrouge is one of the good things! Shown here are their deep fried grits with grilled shrimp, gravy and scallions. A bite into the crisp flavorful crunch of the crust unveils to the tongue a creamy, buttery and cheesy inner sanctum of southern delight. Austin has its great restaurants but I have yet to find one here that does Louisiana cuisine as well as Franks. They serve almost every Louisiana dish there is and have a large smokehouse where they smoke the homemade sausages and other meats. Their pride and joy is their biscuit of which Mr Frank Dedman, Sr took a year perfecting the recipe for. They say they have the best biscuits in the world. I can’t wait to get back home and go to Franks and visit Johnny’s in the French Quarter. I have a few other faves in the Baton Rouge and New Orleans area that I will be sharing with you from past visits and more extensively when I go home to attend my beautiful nieces wedding in November. Some of the best places in Louisiana do not have instagrams. That is part of their hometown charm. So if you are visiting New Orleans or going through Baton Rouge and need to know how to eat like a local, I can help with that. #fickleatx #ficklefoodie #louisiana #louisianafood #louisianafoodie #louisianalife #batonrougefoodies #austin #atx #visitlouisiana #visitbatonrouge #franksrestaurant #southerncharm #cajunfood (at Austin, Texas)

Brunch Minimal. Who need a huge sampling of every brunch item when you can just get a pork belly hash with Filipino touches from chef Steffi at @kickedupgrub. The sweet, the heat, the savory; the pork, the peppers, the potatoes, the egg... it’s all there floating in a tangy sweet and savory sauce with exotic spices. No need to over order. Everything you need is in the bowl. Swipe left to see closeups. 📷 #fickleatx #ficklefoodie 📍 #kickedupgrub This is only one item on a diverse menu where each dish is prepared with beaming pride and old world European and Asian fusions that are always thoughtfully perfected and prepared. #austinfood #austinfoodie #austineats #austinblogger #austin #texasgirl (at South Lamar)

It’s FRYNALLY FRIDAY! So give me ALL the fried things!! Fried chicken, fried fries, fried rice (kimchi and bacon fried rice mmmm). What are some of your fave fried foods? I don’t know about you but I’ve been going going going all week and weekends don’t happen for me until Monday! Here’s the truth. It’s so fun doing all of these events and meeting people and promoting their dreams and unique offerings to the world but I get exhausted! So sometimes I like to take a little rest and the other day I decided to rest belly up to the diner style bar at I Bonchon in Round Rock. One thing I love about Austin is how she calls people here and it’s usually the kind of people that want to share their corner of the world with us. At Bonchon I got to experience Korean comfort food as I spent a couple hours talking to the staff and the owner while inhaling my food (after the camera ate of course). I truly experienced Korean comfort food, but in “my hometown” which is what “Bonchon” means. The thrice fried chicken is so crunchy that I didn’t need all of the breading I usually love and the kimchi and bacon fried rice had me and my family swooning. I’ve seen yelp reviews that were a bit condescending and negative but the place was packed for lunch. And I didn’t see one frowny face! If you want fancy gourmet fusion you may not want to go here, this place is all about handcrafted comfort food that will warm your heart and your belly! The staff was excellent and welcoming and the food was what it’s advertised to be. Annnd, I don’t have to drive all the way to Airport in Austin or to @hmartofficial to get it, so it’s #fickleapproved! . . . . . . 🤘🏼 💯 💋 #fickleatx 🙌🏻👉🏻@fickleatx #thatatxlife in your best 📷for a share! 👄Tell me where I should write about next! #roundrock #wilco #rrraves #austinfood #texas #igersaustin #igersaustintx #igatx #austinfoodstagram #infatuationaustin #liveauthentic #goodvibes #igaustin #utaustin #trueaustin #keepaustineatin #keepaustinweird #do512 #ficklefoodie #atxdrooltime #foodiefam #atxfoodiefam (at Round Rock, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtD_Fwulzt-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=uozk6wdw81d
