Austin loves to eat and now there is a new Austin-based cooking show aimed at teaching Austinites how to cook. Hilah Cooking! stars Hilah Johnson – who you may know from her band The Hot as Shits. She’s also an accomplished actor and comedian and puts those skills to good use in this low-key irreverent series. The first episode just lays the groundwork, but the recipes grow gradually more interesting all while keeping the funny (but R-rated) vibe intact. We especially recommend the episode on How to Make Fish Tacos.

Here’s a new episode of THE CHALK SHOW featuring Chris Trew and Tami Nelson of the New Movement Theater. Fun Fun Fun Fest sounds fun, but apparently tickets are already sold out, so you’re outta luck if you don’t already have some.

Good Flow Honey and Juice company is an Austin institution that ranks right up there with the Alamo Drafthouse, Amy’s Ice Cream and Whole Foods. The company has been selling hand squeezed juice for the past 25 years. However, on Friday the FDA forced the company to shut its doors. The shortage of Good Flow juices is already being felt around town and the city (and internet) has been abuzz about the situation. We were unable to reach Good Flow by phone, but the word on the street was that the company had been forced by the FDA to shut down production over issues related to pasteurization. An article in today’s Daily Texan shed some light on the situation:
Good Flow co-founder Judy Crofut said the company asked the FDA for an exemption from pasteurization mandates placed upon commercial juice producers because the company produces and distributes locally and delivers its product within 24 hours.
“We have all our own processes in place to ensure that it’s good, safe juice,” Crofut said. “Pasteurization kills everything, all the enzymes that allow you to digest your food, so that was a big interest of ours.”
