Author: Robert E. Mace

I am a hydrogeologist who has worked almost 30 years in Texas. I've worked at the Bureau of Economic Geology and the Texas Water Development Board and presently work at the Meadows Center for Water and the Environment. In addition to aquifers, I love history and the intersection of science and policy. I also love cats and tacos.

z is for zombie taco and zucchini kill

Bone appetit!

review of dwight garner’s “the delicatessen upstairs”

This short book reads like the author's ideal last meal: a lengthy opening with two martinis and antipasta, a savory and meaty entree in the middle, and an abrupt ending with no digestif or dessert.

carve american grille

...don't let the greeting table of the Protein Formerly Known as Moo dissuade you—the place is a "Grille," not a "Steakhouse," so there are other offerings for folks like us who don't automatically order steak when we see blood.

fonda san miguel

I always taste history when I have good mole, and the rich, deep, and delicious flavors of Puebla came alive with this plate.

yamas greek kitchen + bar

All in all, Yamas, which means cheers (“to our health!”) in Greek (“στην υγεια μας!”), is a hit, already making a Best of Austin list and requiring a reservation.
