My favorite dishes in Wimberley

If you follow me on Instagram , you may have noticed that I spend a lot of time in the charming hamlet of Wimberley, about 40 miles southwest of Austin.

As such, I am thrilled at how the dining scene there has really exploded over the last five years. A town which once had no stop lights and just a handful of restaurants is now home to more than a dozen options for dining and drinking.

The scene is growing, and with it come greater strains on natural resources and increased auto traffic and housing costs. But the quality new hospitality options that have accompanied the changes are welcomed by this food lover.

The town, which my parents first visited in the 1950s, and where my family has had a house for almost 30 years, is still my favorite in Texas, my spiritual home. And it keeps getting tastier without losing its soul.

I release a list this week of the dining options in Wimberley, which you can read here.
