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.

que divino cocina mexicana

Que Divino's birrias are, appropriately enough, devilishly divine. The adobo has deep, rich flavors that would be first rate on their own. Add the consomé, and those tacos are eyes-rolling-into-the-back-of-your-head good.

y is for yellow jacket social club

It's good to know that a place like the Yellow Jacket Social Club still exists in deep central Austin. It exists in a singularity as a lo-fi dive bar with hi-fi food with outsider vibes outside the standard outsiders.

zum gemalten haus (frankfurt, germany)

A quick google of "what to eat in Frankfurt" revealed the top three traditional dishes to try: (1) grüne soße (green sauce made with seven herbs), (2) apfelwein (apple wine), and (3) handkäse mit musik (marinated sour milk cheese).

pokewerks

oké is traditionally served in a bowl, but the 'works has fusioned with Mexican to create the poké burrito, essentially a giant sushi roll wrapped with a flour tortilla instead of seaweed, and nachos (poké on top of tortilla chips).

el rinconcito chapin

Guatemalan cuisine is similar to, but different than, Mexican cuisine. Mayan culture influences both cuisines, so you'll see dishes you expect, but you'll also get some surprises in execution (which is where the fun comes in!).
