POUTINEWIRE — CultureMap lists their top five destinations for poutine in Austin. Canadian chef Jennifer Costello, who is one half of the team at The Bonneville, has added a classic version to their brunch menu. Other options include Frank and Banger's. [CultureMap]

QUI NOTES — Zagat highlights the continuing development of Qui's large-format cocktail program. In addition to the calimocho introduced during Eater's Cocktail Week, bartender Justin Elliott has developed his take on tepache, a fermented cocktail made with pineapple, sugar, spices, and in Elliott's case, Lone Star.
