Restaurants and bars play a huge role in Austin s community and camaraderie, and two new spots hope to reignite a small bit of Austin s sense of togetherness, one pod at a time.
In the Cherrywood neighborhood just off of Airport, Bobo s Snack Bar quietly opened last week. Married couple Bethany Andrée and Karl Gilkey owned South Congress Snack Bar, the restaurant at Austin Motel for seven years, until they lost their lease in 2016 when the property was sold. Their new snacky bar venture, Bobo s, has been three years, three months, and two weeks in the making, says Andrée.

(Wesley Lapointe) Updated December 23, 2020 Nobody needs to be reminded what a shit year it was for Portland s food scene. Empires toppled, neighborhood hangouts shuttered, thousands lost work. And it s still not over. The devastation was the headline from March on. But even among the carnage, there was still culinary joy to be found, primarily in the scrappiness of the city s restaurateurs who adapted, pivoted and innovated on the fly to make what they could out of this rotted

St. Julien en St. Alban from the Rhône Valley of France. This box also comes with
goodies from some of our favorite spots this yearâcoffee from Reforma Roasters (the house brand of Pearl coffee shop La Perlita, which sources its beans from Mexico and hosts many BIPOC-led pop-ups); a gift certificate for bread from ancient grains pop-up bakery La Reinita, one of our favorite newcomers of 2020; a hand-dyed red tea towel; and a corkscrew.Â
