On the first day of Architecture school, they made us watch Jiro’s documentary. It was supposed to be a lesson on craft and dedication - so you’re perfectly right and valid in your special opinion on the gastro world bc it’s not just about ingredients and names, but also the art behind it all.
I like the sound of this journey. As someone who’s been in Austin for a fat minute, I’ll say that some of the best food I’ve had has also been some of the cheapest. I’m sure that dichotomy exists everywhere but something about the rapid growth and gentrification in atx is a lil extra backwards.
quick dump - Khon Thai for Massaman Curry, Afghan Village for Goat Karahi, El Norteño #1 for Pastor Pambazos, Rosita's for Pastor Tacos, Sangam for Veg Thali Special, Phoebe's Diner for the Cheeky Monkey.

Sending this to a couple gastro nerds I know :)
Thank you!
Also, any leads for a great bites around here (not the obvious ones that I can find online) would be very welcomed.
