Eats at SXSW
Our goal was to help recharge SXSW-goers by offering charging stations in the Chevy Volt Recharge Lounge, power strips throughout the convention center, and Catch a Chevy rides throughout the city.
We found staying fed a challenge as we were constantly on the move and looking for good food within walking distance of downtown. Some of our favorite spots included a bbq tent setup in the alley-way of 5th Street between Congress and Brazos. These folks drove to SXSW all the way from Kansas City and their cue was worth a stop! For dessert we had Jude's Rum Cake and they were amazingly rummy and fresh. Wish they were sold in Austin on a regular basis! Other highlights included lunch at Royal Blue Grocery at 3rd and Nueces where we snacked on pizza from East Side Pies, house-made summer rolls, brownies from Mrs. Butters, and beer and wine. Nearby, teo gelato had set up a stand just for SXSW and that was a treat since it's our favorite in the city. This was the year of the food truck and we visited Frietkot, The Short Bus, and Chilantro BBQ among others. What was your favorite food find at SXSW this year?
