So about Central Market's Blue Corn Hatch Cookies...

So about Central Market's Blue Corn Hatch Cookies...

These really are the bee's knees. My new favorite cookie.

There are "better" cookies out there in the craft of cookie baking. But what makes these stand out is that they so perfectly encapsulate the spirit of keeping Austin weird.

The heirloom blue corn permeates with every bite, the hatch pepper has the subtle flair reminiscent of jalapeños in cornbread and the sweetness ties it all back to remind one that this is still a cookie.

It's sad to learn that today is the last day the cookies will be available at Central Market with their Hatch promotion ending. Grateful to even have the chance to try something so uniquely delicious. Till next year.

So about Bird Bird Biscuit...

I don't think I've had a better biscuit.

One bite that divulges into the pillow-y soft butter goodness topped with their blueberry jam just speaks to the inner Southern ancestors I never had.

Any biscuit (or bite!) that tops this please let me know.

So about Quality Seafood...

Since moving from San Diego, I've been craving some good seafood. Been hearing Quality Seafood is the GOAT and I usually do an order of the clam strips to test the waters.

Brother let me tell you these are as good as frozen from the supermarket. I mean freezer burned for months...

Unless this is absolutely not the thing to get here, does anyone have any recs beyond this place or another dish?
