Trash Blanc

We’ll have more on our trip to the wonderful Hula Hut out by the lake in Austin, but for the moment you can check the Trash Blanc lowdown on the Mexican Margarita. A little sweeter and greener than the standard tequilla cocktail, this house drink started off our last night at SXSWi with some style.

We’ll have our Nuclear Taco event video up later, but for us here at TrashBlanc.com the taco show was well and truly stolen by the Ice Cream Man. In fact, he may well have pilfered our entire SXSW food experience. In terms of right time, right place, right man, this guy hit a three run [...]

TrashBlanc doesn’t always have to enter a premises to bring you the full lowdown. This time it’s the 710 Room on Red River Street.

SXS-Eats: The 6th St. Pizza showdown part I.
TrashBlanc.com takes two for the team on 6th Street. We go where you doughn’t want to and take slices at Papparazzi Pizza and RoppoJo’s. Priced at $3 and $4 respectively neither stood out from the stodgy crowd of eateries on Austin’s party street. First through the sausage machine [...]

There isn’t enough weeks in the year for TrashBlanc to properly review all the bars in Austin. But over the week of SXSW we’re going to bring you the ones that stand out. Red Eye Fly on 7th and Red River hits the spot for us. It hosted SXSWi’s Café Fray on Sunday night. It [...]

TrashBlanc.com has had some great drink since arriving in Texas. Good local and Mexican beer served cold and with a smile. Just the way we like it. How we don’t like it is mixed with stout and named after one of the most murderous group of mercenaries of the 20th century, the Black and Tans.

Drinking at SXSW we’ve learned here at TrashBlanc.com can be a tricky activity. Sure there’s plenty of free drinks sponsored by the likes of Google, Frog Design and lots of other companies trying to retain a level of cool they once had (or is that me being cynical). But they’re not really free. Payment takes [...]

TrashBlanc.com has utterly disregarded its closely held environmental beliefs and flown from its London HQ to SXSW in Austin, Texas. Now, the last thing this place needs is more people blogging the conference. So we’re not going to bother. We’re going to instead keep doing what we do best. Track down the trash food and [...]
