More on Eating and Drinking During SXSW
Two things:
1. Chow.com has an interactive map guide to eating and drinking during SXSW, but I couldn’t get the Google Maps portion to work properly. You can also grab it as a handy but long PDF. They cover eats both Downtown and elsewhere, as well as tips on curing hangovers and how to eat a taco.
2. And here’s an awesome tip from Tom of Austinist: there’s a brand new late-night eats place just steps away from Emo’s on Red River. It’s called Go Bites.
Matthew Odam of the Austin American-Statesman says:
Schumacher plans to offer fancy grilled cheese sandwiches, gourmet sliders and hand-cut fries to his (most likely) boozy patrons. Judging by the items sampled last night, the young chef will most likely be the preferred stop for folks looking to add a little sustenance to their bar-hopping plans...We sampled each of the grilled cheese sandwiches, which resembled something I would try to make for friends after a late night out on the town, given I had the ingredients and/or energy to do so. The grilled-cheese menu consists of mango and swiss, gruyere and onion, prosciutto and fresh mozzarella, and fresh mozzarella and white truffle oil.
...
The blue cheese and grilled leek [slider] was as savory as any full-sized burger I have had in town, and then I ate the BBQ, grilled onion and jalapeno-jack slider. The blue cheese burger hid its face in shame. At this point I had reached man-in-“Monty Python’s the Meaning of Life” status, but I promised the cheddar burger I would have a bite of it. So I did. And I was pleased with the flavor but maybe not the decision to fearlessly eat my weight in food.
The new quick eats joint is located at the serving window just feet away from the entrance of Emo’s on Red River Street.
Sliders, grilled cheese sandwiches, fries, and rock’n’roll? I’m betting this place is going to have a line down the block during the Music Fest. In any case, it all sounds delicious to me!
