Austin’s Best Food and Drink Events This Week: Dinner parties, farmer’s markets, beer, wine, and more for the week of November 18, 2021 – Food
[ad_1]
Thursday 18
FAREGROUND: THE GINGER FESTIVAL The thing about Fareground is that it’s like the fanciest food court in the city, featuring outposts of some of our finest restaurants, all gathered in a stylish Downtown setting: Little Wu (from Wu Chow), Henbit (from Emmer & Rye), Austin Rotisserie, TLV, Taco Pegaso, and more. And now they’re celebrating the coming holidays with a venue-wide showcase of ginger- and turmeric-focused specials and events. Here comes a series of cocktail masterclasses (with Domaine de Canton), limited-time dishes from each eatery, ginger drinks from Fareground’s two bars (DRINK and Ellis), and gifts from Margot Blair Floral. YMMV, foodie, but your reporter’s main reco here: TLV’s Chicken Hawaiej Hummus, with chicken thighs marinated in Yemenite spice blend served over hummus. Follow that with a Ginger Island negroni at Ellis, and it’s already the happiest of holidays, even mid-week.
Nov. 16-Jan. 3. Daily, 11am-9pm
Fareground,

FOOD ACCESS RESOURCES FROM SFC We have to admit it’s getter better, but we’ve still got a ways to go in dealing with this pandemic. The Sustainable Food Center has put together a thorough compilation of food access resources for Central Texans, ranging from farmers’ markets to CSAs to delivery options and everything in between, so you can ensure that healthy food stays on your table. And if you’re able to contribute they’re accepting online donations, which support farmers and low-income families facing food insecurity. Get all the details on their website.

THE MUSEUM OF ICE CREAM Oh! You’ll eat so much ice cream! You’ll learn so much about ice cream! You’ll Instagram your favorite phone into cute little pieces! Oh!

Note: The Austin version of this international phenomenon, located in the heart of The Domain, features 12 reimagined and never-before-seen installations dedicated to the celebration and experience of enjoying the cold and creamy confection that makes the whole world smile.

EBERLY’S CREME BRÛLÉE FOR GIRLS EMPOWERMENT NETWORK Eberly is honoring the nonprofit Girls Empowerment Network by donating $1 to the organization with every creme brûlée sold. This is a good thing from the get-go, we believe, and who doesn’t occasionally want a dessert like this? But, come to find out that pastry chef Sarah Seghi has created a Peach Leaf Creme Brûlée with Rum Soaked Pound Cake, Lemon Creme Fraiche, and Preserved Cherry Jam, and we’re considering buying maybe a dozen of them every single day. Note: We’re told that this Eberly/GEN partnership is ongoing, so we may be in trouble.
