Migas – My Favorite Breakfast Taco
In this episode, I interview Carlos Rivero, co-owner of both El Chile and El Chilito.

Read MoreSun-dried Tomato and Cheddar Scones
As promised, here’s the recipe for the exquisite savory scones I made for Austin Bakes last weekend. People were RAVING about them (mostly me and Chris, but whatev).
