AIRPORTWIRE — Austin flyers know layovers very, very well. A direct flight to anywhere but a major hub is a mythical beast, sometimes glimpsed but rarely captured. In that spirit, avail yourself of Eater National's Airport Dining Guide round-up. The Dallas and Houston guides should prove especially useful. [Eaterwire]

HOLIDAYWIRE — Citygram Magazine just published their new issue, featuring holiday recipes from a number of Austin chefs including Foreign & Domestic's Ned Elliott and Epicerie's Sarah McIntosh. You can download the issue here. [Eaterwire]
