Big Bite Out

It’s been a weird year of eating, and I’ve finally put on my thinking cap to decide which new Austin restaurants impressed me the most in 2019. These are the absolute best of the best but rather the restaurants I WANT to go back to. So, let’s dive right in! Oseyo First on this list has to be Oseyo, simply because I’ve been back four times already, and I’ve had an incredible meal every single time. The space is warm and inviting. The cocktail program is great, and the food is delicious as hell.

This year is almost over, and I can hardly believe it. It’s truly been a whirlwind. I’ve honestly been so incredibly busy this year that it’s been a little difficult for me to stay on top of new restaurants in Austin. But, I’ve gotten to try some—when I’m not too busy sticking to my tried-and-true favorites or ordering Uber Eats delivery while watching Baby Yoda light up my life.

That's because hamburgers are truly my absolute favorite dish in the whole wide world. And, of course, once people know that they immediately ask, "So, what's your favorite burger in Austin?" Here are the seven that truly never steer me wrong. First things first, I like a pretty boring burger. I don't want it super fancy. I don't want a fried egg on it.
