Hey Austin, Central Texas, and, heck, Kossacks across Texas! We're having a meetup this Saturday in honor of OrangeClouds115, who will be in town researching sustainable food and farming.
Details below.
Hope to see you there!
It seems only fitting that we should welcome DailyKos' pre-eminent food activist with dinner at a local business specializing in vegan and vegetarian food.
Here's the score:
Austin Kossacks Meetup With OrangeClouds115

Just show up. Dinner folks will cross the street once we're done.
Mother's is a great Austin institution, a small, local place that takes great care of their employees. I'm glad we're going to dine here, because last year their outdoor garden seating area burned down, and they've worked really hard to rebuild. They're back, and the food is just as good. While they were closed, I believe that the owners actually secured work for their employees at other local health restaurants -- very cool.
Mother's has vegan and vegetarian options available, and offers a pretty wide variety of menu items. The vegetarian lasagna and the enchiladas are both fantastic.
Dolce Vita is also a great place to go for a drink. They have fantastic gelato in over a dozen seasonal flavors, and other great desserts. They offer a full espresso bar and a full booze bar.
Help us welcome OrangeClouds115 to Austin, and please join us. Remember to RSVP to roses if you are coming for dinner so we can make a reservation.
See you Saturday!
