The Austin Food + Wine Festival in 5 Pictures

One great thing about going to food events across the country is getting a taste of the “local flavor”— the people, places, accents, traditions and meat-mobiles (true story!) that keep a place unique. Last weekend, we asked Jeanine of the Love and Lemons blog to capture the local flavor of her hometown at the Austin Food + Wine fest on our Instagram. Here’s a taste of her experience, in five pictures.

 

 

my FAVORITE dish of the fest so far: Shawn Cirkiel’s white chocolate gazpacho with strawberries, almond milk & almond crumble … xo Jeanine @loveandlemons #wstakeover #wslocalflavor #afwfest @oliveandjuneatx

“You guys want to cook at home again and it’s not just because of my pretty face.” – my fave quote from @hughacheson’s awe-inspiring @austinfoodwine demo … he made fava bean soup & a gorgeous arugula salad with lemon & mint… which is the food I love to eat everyday so I sorta love him even more now. xo Jeanine @loveandlemons #wstakeover #wslocalflavor #afwfest bonus quote: “Life’s too short for crappy cheese or cheap olive oil.”

Day 2 at @austinfoodwine! Follow along as Jeanine @loveandlemons shares her favorite moments. “Sneak peek of @williamssonoma’s new line of tangy & spicy sauces (launching May) made with @anchorbrewing’s beer – these were the cutest little packages of pulled pork sandwiches.” xo Jeanine @loveandlemons #wstakeover #wslocalflavor #afwfest

Grilling with @cheftimlove always starts with “waaaht wine” (which is Texas speak for white wine)… xo Jeanine @loveandlemons #wstakeover #wslocalflavor #afwfest
