  1. Three courses for $40 + giving back | August 1 – September 7
 Just got back from lunch with my mom at Pappadeaux Seafood during Pappas Restaurant Weeks, and y’all... this is the move. It’s their inaugural restaurant weeks event, and they’re doing three full courses for $40 per guest: plus $5 from every meal is donated to local food banks nationwide. That’s what i’m talking about! Supporting good restaurants, supporting your community.
 FIRST COURSE (choose one): * Pappadeaux house salad - mixed greens with croutons, baby tomatoes, red onion, honey bacon and aged cheddar * Classic Caesar - chopped romaine hearts, croutons, and Parmesan cheese, Caesar dressing * “Louisiana” shrimp gumbo - A spicy soup with shrimp, celery, onion, bell pepper, okra, tomato, spices, rice SECOND COURSE (choose one): * Rainbow Trout & Jumbo Lump Crab - sautéed with shrimp, jalapeño, hollandaise, glazed butternut squash * Grilled Shrimp Alfredo - topped with garlic, shrimp, artichokes, fresh herbs, creamy Alfredo * Grilled Chicken Alfredo - topped with garlic, shrimp, artichokes, fresh herbs, creamy Alfredo * Fried Shrimp - with french fries * Crawfish Combination - fried crawfish & crawfish étouffée PREMIUM SELECTIONS (optional upgrade): * Atlantic Salmon Alexander - pan seared salmon, crab, shrimp, asparagus, crayfish, White wine cream sauce, dirty rice — +$15.00 * Texas Redfish Pontchartrain - topped with lump crab, shrimp, mushrooms, shrimp butter sauce, dirty rice — +$16.00 THIRD COURSE (choose one): * Key Lime Pie - fresh lime pie * Vanilla Cheesecake - fresh strawberries This is one of the best restaurant weeks deals I’ve seen. #pappadeaux #AustinFood #deals #restaurantweeks

  3. Ramen, redefined. . . As I embarked on my culinary exploration, I found myself stumbling upon a hidden gem of a restaurant, Ramen Del Barrio. Led by the illustrious Chef Christopher, the establishment specializes in harmoniously fusing Mexican and Japanese cuisines to create a unique culinary experience. With a menu boasting Mexican inspired Japanese ramen, such as the Carnita Tonkotsu Shoyu, Mole Tsukemen, and Tomatillo Kosho Mazemen, each bowl is meticulously crafted to perfection. My taste buds were tantalized by the following bowls: 🍜 Carnita Tonkotsu Shoyu A delectable blend of pork belly and buche carnitas, elevated by the spicy kick of chile toreado and the savory essence of grilled onions. 🍜 Menudo Tonkotsu This bowl, featuring hominy and honeycomb tripe, was further enlivened by the rich and complex flavors of Guajillo salsa. 🌮 In addition to the ramen, we were privileged to sample three tantalizing tacos: Yaki Tacos with Lengua, Spanish Octopus and Pork Belly, and a special Tostada that surpassed all expectations. It is Chef Christopher's innate love and appreciation of both Mexican and Japanese cuisine that culminated in his inspired idea to fuse them together, resulting in a truly unique dining experience. It is worth noting that Chef Christopher's journey began humbly in his garage, and has since blossomed into the masterful culinary creations that I had the pleasure of indulging in at Ramen Del Barrio. I intend to savor the rest of the items on the menu on my next visit, especially the Mole Tsukemen.

  2. lucky hand-pulled noodles inspired by the year of the snake 🐍🧧 eating long noodles for lunar new year is supposed to bring good fortune, prosperity and luck! the longer the noodle, the longer your life 🍜 recipe below: - 300g ap flour - 1 tsp kosher salt - 2 cups spinach - 150 ml water - veg oil - 2 tbsp sichuan chili crisp - 2 tbsp soy sauce - 1 tbsp chinese black vinegar - 1 tbsp oyster sauce - 1 tsp sugar - thinly sliced radishes, scallions + cilantro ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1. in a blender, blend spinach and water. strain and set aside 2. in a large bowl, whisk flour and salt. slowly add the spinach water in batches, combining by hand or stand mixer 3. once combined, continue kneading by hand on a flat surface until smooth. knead ~5 mins, then cover with plastic wrap and rest for 20 mins 4. knead the dough for 3-4 mins, then cover and rest for 20 mins 5. brush the surface of a large plate with veg oil. roll the dough ball into a log shape and cut into 6 equal portions. place the logs on the plate and brush them with oil until all sides covered. cover the plate with plastic wrap and let rest at room temp for at least 1 hour, up to 12 hours 6. using a rolling pin, take one log and flatten it out into a rectangular shape. use a chopstick to make an indentation along the center of the dough, lengthwise 7. hold each end of the noodle strip and gently pull until it starts to lengthen. flick the dough downwards and let it hit the surface while pulling. once it reaches your desired thickness, separate the noodles along the middle line. you can keep them in a loop or cut them. repeat until all are made into noodles 9. bring a pot of water to a boil and cook noodles for ~2-3 mins 10. combine all sauce ingredients in a large bowl and toss noodles. garnish with chili crisp, radishes, scallions and cilantro
