The Brewer’s Table–Austin
I arrived in East Austin kicking and screaming in 2011 by way of marriage to a fine gentleman named Dave, who had built a house there in 2007. One of my main objections at the time was the lack of any decent dining options on my side of the freeway save for the blessed Justine’s, […]
