Voluntarily paying 4 bucks for a bowl of oatmeal? And no meat or cheese? Do it. Eating oatmeal is like kissing grandma on the mole. You know you should do it every now and then and sometimes you throw up in your mouth, but in the end you've done a good thing for your heart. Makes you poop too if you chase it with a cup of coffee. Anyway, this oatmeal is more like kissing your hot first cousin. You feel like you shouldn't be enjoying it this much but it's so good you can't stop. And in the end there's nothing wrong with it --science says so. Here that, Swayze? Science. So here's the deal on this oatmeal: Organic steel-cut oats, rice milk, honey, apples, mixed nuts and a whole lotta love from chef Emily Crumpton. She makes some damn fine food. You can heat it up, which is pretty good, but I personally like to eat it chilled right out of the tub. Comes in a smaller size. Cost's less too. Open to the public except for Mayor Wynn who's been banned. He knows why.

I'd kill a man to eat a piece of this pie. Thick, cold, creamy and coco-nutty. Crust was flaky. Can't think of a better place in Austin to get some pie. The overweight gentleman sitting at the table next to my booth said it best. (In falsetto, whistling his esses)My, my this is some good-ass pie. He had another slice. That dude cracked me up. But, hey-it WAS some good-ass pie.
