the peached tortilla

This weekend a new family member will be introduced, our sister concept, Yumé Burger.  Yumé Burger will serve Japanese inspired hamburgers, all through the very familiar vehicle of a mobile food truck.  With Yumé Burger, I am paying homage to a burger I grew up eating as kid in Tokyo, Japan.  Where the Japanese adopted the American hamburger, we are now adopting their interpretation of our hamburger.  Perhaps that makes no sense at all.  But once you grab a bite, I think it will.  Burgers will include the JapaJam (all beef hamburger, Asian tomato jam, jalapeno jack cheese, fried egg, Japanese BBQ sauce, crispy onion strings), the Po-Ku (all beef hamburger, seared pork belly, creamy wasabi slaw, Japanese pickles) and the Yumé Dog (all beef hot dog, wasabi mayo, tonkatsu sauce, nori, crispy onion strings).  You can check us out this Saturday at the grand opening for the South Austin Brewing Co from 3PM-8PM at 415 E. St. Elmo.  Or…make sure to come out for our launch party at Hops and Grain from 12PM-6PM (507 Calles St., at the end of E. 6th).  You can RSVP here.  ATX, it’s time to experience the burger, redefined.

In case you missed it, our friends at Eat Austin Eat profiled us this past week.  Check it out.  And remember…taste life, get peached.

In case you missed it, check out the incredible video put together by Enrico Deleon and Frank Maulit recapping the Battle on Burnet.

the battle on burnet takes place Tuesday, Dec. 13th at Roll on Sushi Diner

Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later.  We would be faced with a challenge that we just could not turn down.  So when Chip and Chad Reed of Roll on Sushi Diner asked us to participate in an Austin Fusion Showdown with bacon as the key ingredient, we gladly obliged.  On Tuesday, Dec. 13th, from 6PM-10PM (seatings at 6PM & 8PM) we will be putting our culinary skills to the test at Roll On’s location at 5350 Burnet Rd.  Two teams battling it out in an open kitchen to put the best bacon-centric dishes on a plate.  6 courses in all, plus sake and beer pairings.  And if that’s not enough, we’ll have an Alton Brown-esque MC hosting and DJ’ing at the event.  Eating dinner is a culinary excursion.  The Battle on Burnet is a culinary experience.  Please join us.  You can purchase event tickets for $29.95 at http://battleonburnet.eventbrite.com.
