Jeff and Kelly Eat Their Way Through Austin

More Mohrs

Erin’s youngest brother Jeff and his girlfriend Kelly came to visit us/Homeslice in Austin this past weekend.  They loooooove to eat and were dying to try Homeslice, so we introduced them to ‘Homey on Saturday night.

The line was horrendous and I really wanted to watch as much of the Cowboys game as I could, so we put our name on the list as the game started, watched the first half at Doc’s and went to Homeslice at halftime.  Kelly (the waitress) asked us what we wanted, but we had a hard time deciding.  So we each picked a topping or two, finally settling on basil, garlic, fried eggplant, fresh mozzarella, green peppers, black olives and artichoke hearts.

They absolutely loved it.  Jeff worked in Phoenix for the last year and a half and had been to the legendary Pizzeria Bianco and said that Homeslice was easily at the same level.  That’s big.

Kelly had a hard time deciphering the bathroom signs, so the waiter asked if she “had a slice or was missing a slice”.  She figured it out.

There were no leftovers, only happy bellies.  Throughout the weekend we hit most of our favorite eating places in or around Austin: Taqueria Star, Snow’s, Gordough’s, Kerbey Lane, Torchy’s and more, but Homeslice definitely stood out.  Maybe because it was free.

After leaving Homeslice we caught the end of the Cowboys game and got to see them hand the Saints their first loss.  Man, I was pumped!  What a great night.

Cost: $30 (I think)
Total this year: $54.25
