Early summer squash, sliced thin and seared hot till the edges catch, finished with lemon and torn mint — the first squash of the year tastes like the season making a promise it means to keep. There is a quiet in a kitchen at dusk when you feed yourself on purpose, slowly, the way you'd feed someone you loved. No one in your house goes hungry because the week was hard. That is a resistance you can taste.

Sometimes a burger in a local joint just hits the spot better than anything else. If you're visiting central Texas, I have a few favorite local Austin burgers, like Dirty Martin's, P. Terry's, Top Notch, and a bonus shout-out to Whataburger:

Just had the best country fried steak and eggs I've had in a long while. Real steak, properly tenderized. Proper sized portion. Cooked perfectly. Good gravy.

Good service, too.

I love it when a local restaurant gets it right. #EatLocal

The Austin, Texas airport is so full of distinctive local restaurants and shops, you'll hope for a long layover there. I recommend a Jo's Iced Turbo, for travel energy:

Had extra time between my two meetings so I treated myself to lunch out. A local restaurant, Garlini's, makes an excellent sausage and lentil soup, which I hadn't had in years. Delicious with fresh Italian bread and a garlic butter. I need to go there more often. #SupportSmallBusiness #EatLocal
