Summary: Austin's South By Southwest festival is a combination of interactive conferences, music concerts & film screenings which takes place every spring in the Texas capitol. The SXSW music festival has been running since 1987 and is one of the biggest in the country. It showcases primarily budding stars, but in recent years has seen performances by legendary artists such as Iggy Pop & the Stooges, Tom Waits, Willie Nelson, and countless more. But somewhere between fighting the crowd to see your favorite band, schmoozing with music industry types and convincing irritated doormen that you are indeed on the party guest list, you'll need to supply your body with the essential nutrients from the three major food groups that have helped make Austin such a unique city.
In this series of free video clips you'll get a virtual tour of quintessential Austin cuisine. Native Austinite and music critic Paige Maguire guides you step-by-step from the best breakfast tacos in Austin to the best margaritas, and finally topping it off with gourmet ice cream. You'll be able to impress your friends with the insider knowledge that only a local can offer. After all, the food is as much of the experience as the music.
