YOU WOULDN'T LET US FORGET THIS ONE.
We first ran the Balsamic Bacon Chicken Torta a couple of years ago. It left the menu. The requests did not.
So for Austin Restaurant Weeks, we're bringing it back the right way: bacon, balsamic onion jam, avocado, Parmesan aioli, and chicken piled onto a toasted telera.
And this time the mushroom crew gets one too.
Available for a limited run during Austin Restaurant Weeks. When Restaurant Weeks ends, so does the BBC.
GOOD LUNCH. GOOD CAUSE.
For every $25 Austin Restaurant Weeks menu sold at Austin Daily Press, $4 goes directly to Central Texas Food Bank.
Austin Restaurant Weeks brings restaurants and diners together to help fight food insecurity across Central Texas. We're proud to put a torta behind it.
