austin revisited

I’m not a huge fan of the food at Austin Grill, a local Tex-Mex restaurant chain. But DCist yesterday pointed out a reason to give the eatery another chance: Austin Grill gets its ice cream from Amy’s Ice Cream, an Austin institution.

Amy�s chocolate and Mexican vanilla are the best standard ice cream renditions of those flavors that we’ve ever had. The richness of the vanilla and the surprising complexity of the chocolate are further enhanced by the creaminess that can only result from 14 percent butterfat. And the coconut is absolutely ambrosial. The cinnamon and mint chocolate chip also stand out as original takes on classic favorites.

We love this stuff so much that we wish Austin Grill would conceal a mini-scoop shop behind the hostess stand so that we could just roll in for a quick hit and go on our merry way.

Oh, yum. I think I’ll have to revisit it just to get dessert sometime.
