— There’s a new produce delivery service focusing on “ugly” fruits and vegetables in Austin with the expansion of Imperfect Produce. The California-based company will start delivering boxes of blemished fruits and vegetables to people on Monday, October 8 in weekly or bi-weekly shipments. For the launch, Lick Honest Ice Creams is offering a spiced sweet potato pie flavor at all of its Austin locations from Thursday, October 4 through Friday, November 23, made with imperfect sweet potatoes from the company.

— Even though a new company bought 13 Austin-area locations of pizza chain Mr. Gatti’s, the stores won’t change its menus. New owners Three Dough Boys, LLC will actually add ten new restaurants to the city.

— Downtown spot InterContinental Stephen F. Austin Hotel is donating one dollar from every glass of rosé and $5 of every rosé bottle purchased at the hotel towards the Breast Cancer Research Foundation through the month of October.
