Tonight we went to an Austin food blogger happy hour at III Forks. It was really interesting to meet all of our other culinary colleagues. It was a quite a hodge podge! The food was somewhat rudimentary but we found the chef’s passion refreshing. The duck with microgreens was unique though it was overpowered by the cracker it sat on. The chef said he was working on playing down the cracker which would help let the duck shine. The beef croustades were hot and tangy.
He says: I look forward to going back and ordering the off-menu table-side prepared beef tartare. The bar manager and chef entertained the crowd, but the bar area lighting was a little too ambient - I couldn’t see a thing.
She says: I anticipate skipping the apps and going straight for a hunk of beef when we return.
