Austin City Limits, a three-day music festival featuring 130 bands on 8 stages, comes to Austin every year. You know what that fails to mention? The copious amounts food. We’re not talking the standard burger or pizza, though there was plenty of that. Over the three days we hit up sixteen food vendors in and around the concert. Warning: This post might get a little long, so I’ll try to only touch on the highlights…
Truly bridging the two topics of this blog, my visit to Holy Cacao brought their A-game to the party. Holy Cacao specializes in cake balls on a stick. You’ll have to check out their website to wrap your head around that one. Anyway, after any Saturday long run I look forward to a “treat” to reward myself. Honestly, it’s probably what gets me through the last 4 miles of all my long runs. Some usual suspects include Amy’s Ice Creams and any cupcakery in the area. Don’t overlook the ice cream and cake components of my go-to treats.
While Ev was out of town, I went on a bit of a food truck rampage, so it was only fitting that we visited another meal on wheels when she got back to Austin. Our truck of choice? The Jalopy Rotisserie and Press. Their specialty? Rotisserie chicken sandwiches.
This food shack shanty stand (?) is nothing to behold. Situated in an unassuming parking lot of a Vespa store, Bananarchy is easy to miss. The process is straightforward: choose your size (halfsie or whole), decide what you want it dipped in (chocolate, peanut butter, vanilla, or vegan chocolate), and chose from a long list of toppings.
