"Foodie" Fridays in Austin Well, Easter weekend has come and gone. After all the entertaining and eating out plus preparing those large spreads for family and friends it’s time to kick back and try eating lighter!My suggestions this week are low key. Maybe a run...okay go ahead and walk around Town Lake and then make a stop at one of the many trailer parks where food is served! Yes, you heard me right...one of the trailers serving up their specialties in South Austin. In future weeks, I'll be showcasing food trucks in other areas of Austin; so stay tuned!
