Progress, Houndstooth Tops In Coffee; NATY Sets A Date

CRESTVIEW -- Now that the North Austin Trailer Yard's got their T-Rex in place, owner Rob Higgs tells us a grand opening is expected in late March. For now, his Snarky's Moo Bawk Oink sandwich truck is on-site from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on weekdays. [Eaterwire]

COFFEEWIRE -- Both Progress Coffee and Houndstooth Coffee have made Food & Wine's list of the top coffee bars in the United States. That's buzzworthy! Sorry. [Food&Wine]

BEERWIRE -- The online chef mag StarChefs.com awards are newly focused on Austin and San Antonio, and they're expanding the accolades into the realm of beer brewing. We bet you'll recognize all these--relatively new!--Central Texas breweries. [CultureMap Austin]
