DESERT DOOR SOTOL: WILD MEAL SERIES Desert Door Sotol presents its first Wild event series of three custom-curated meals and experiences in the wilderness at Spoke Hollow Ranch in Wimberley. Yes, that’s a three-course meal – either a brunch or dinner selection – prepared by three distinguished Austin chefs (Julien Hawkins of Hestia, Amanda Turner of The Fiery Talon, and Contigo’s Ty Burton), and the dishes will be paired with signature Desert Door cocktails, all in a breathtaking landscape under the big Texas sky. Oh, and there’s even more to it! Suggestion: Check that website ASAP to see if tickets are still available.
Fri.-Sat., Oct. 15-16
Spoke Hollow Ranch, Wimberley.
$135.

EL ALMA: HISPANIC HERITAGE HOSPITALITY National Hispanic Heritage Month means many things to many people, and at El Alma all of those things are enhanced with chef Alma’s Chile en Nogada, a stuffed pepper dish featuring a pistachio-based nogada sauce and pomegranate glaze, served over saffron rice. Pro tip: Pair it with a Maracuya Mule – a potent ginger, passionfruit, and LALO tequila cocktail.
Through Oct. 15
El Alma Cafe y Cantina,
1025 Barton Springs Rd., 512/609-8923.

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.

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.
