You guessed it...I spent Thanksgiving in Austin, TX. Never been there before but sure hope to go again The people are friendly and the food is delicious. We dined out several times in our four day visit, but Moonshine outshone them all. This lovely multi-room restaurant is located on a dry river bed in the middle of the city in what used to be, in the olden days, a general store. They claim that their cooking is, 'an innovative take on Classic American comfort food that satisfies even big city tastes.' That's a good description.
My friends and I had already had our Margaritas earlier at a saloon so we just set right in to ordering the 'chow'. I had the Broiled Rainbow Trout with cornbread stuffing and chile sage butter served with Seasonal vegetables and Grilled Polenta with parmesan and fresh herbs that melted in your mouth. The cost was $19, but that was higher than most of the 'suppers'. Two of my friends chose the Green Chile Macaroni and loved it. The four of us shared a huge portion of the White Chocolate Bread Pudding with raisins, pecans and bourbon sauce. Fantastic! We were all so stuffed. Good thing we weren't tempted earlier by the 'Starters'; Homemade Potato Chips with warm sour cream and scallion dip, or the Beer Battered Asparagus with Buttermilk Ranch....or the Crispy Calamari with spicy marinara, and on and on. This place is a must next time you're in Austin. It's popular so you may want to make a reservation.
