      So, so good. Especially at 2 am, when everyone bands together after a good night out to celebrate their drunkeness with gingerbread chocolate chip pancakes and love migas. I always think I'll branch… […]

      I had to pick ONE restaurant to stop at as we drove through Austin, and Magnolia Cafe was it. I was a little worried since their specialty is breakfast and we were were for dinner, but when we drove… […]

      Good food whenever you want. I have to say that as a person who knows Cajun food; they know how to make it blackened, creole, or the Acadian way. I have not found another Austin restaurant that… […]

“Love conquers all” for the Valentine’s Day menu

Published: February 16, 2012

Kent gives the cooks full creative control of the dinner menu every Valentine’s Day.  The cooks order special ingredients and plan the entire menu — it’s an annual evening of culinary pride and accomplishment.  I wish I had pics to show you from the Magnolia Cafe (Lake Austin Blv.d) as well, where they work to present an equally glorious menu each V. Day.

Here was the menu at the Magnolia Cafe South this year:

VALENTINES DAY MENU! 1. Greek Platter 2. Warm Olive Bread 3. Greek Salad 4. Avgolemono Soup 5. Spanakopita 6. Monk Fish 7. Lovers Lamb Kabobs 8. Greek banana split 9. Raspberry Chocolate Cake

As you can see, the cooks (led by Adam, in front) agreed to wear their red T’s for the evening.  An inspired, and inspiring, bunch.  Thanks to all of the cooks who contributed to our fabulous Magnolia dinners!
