Austin Restaurant Honors ‘Parasite’ Oscar Win With Ram-Don Special Again

Parasite’s Ram-Don Is Back in Austin
In honor of South Korea’s first-ever best picture win for director Bong Joon-ho’s Parasite at the Oscars this past weekend, Southern-Asian restaurant Peached Tortilla is bringing back its noodle special. The ram-don dish (which is actually jjappaguri, a mix of instant black bean ramen and seafood udon noodles) will include hanger steak, black bean paste, and caramelized kimchi. It’s available only tonight, Thursday, February 13, at the Allandale restaurant as part of its weekly ramen night.

Brooklyn-based ice cream shop Van Leeuwen is making its beloved pints available in Texas for the first time ever. This includes its house flavors such as the Brooklyn brown sugar chunk and honeycomb, the vegan lineup like a vegan cookie crumble, and ones made with oat milk. The pints will be available at H-E-B (as of now), Central Market (sometime this month), and Sprouts Farmers Market (in March).
