New, 2 comments

WEST CAMPUS — New food truck park alert: Rancho Rio Eatery is now serving late into the night at the corner of 26th Street and Rio Grande. Trucks parked there include Short Bus Subs, Wunder Waffle, Firefly Pies and Wurst Tex, with Mighty Cone coming in February. [Daily Texan]

BAKERYWIRE — Baked goods: Austin has them. CultureMap visits Baguette et Chocolat out west and Sugar Mama's Bake Shop and La Mexicana in South Austin to sample some of the sweets. [CultureMap Austin]

RAINEY STREET — Has anyone heard of this place Lustre Pearl on Rainey Street? The Austinot calls it an "excellent showpiece for this revitalized, formerly residential district" and says that the reputed "douchiness of Lustre Pearl" didn't show, since "upwardly mobile types" and "the average college types" got along just fine. [The Austinot]
