Bubble Tea!

GJ and Bubble Tea

We found a place in Austin that sold bubble tea! Actually, in this picture GJ is drinking a Strawberry-Mango Smoothie Bubble Tea. It was yummy-extreme!

Bubble Tea is basically a drink with large tapioca pearls sitting at the bottom. It’s really weird to drink the first time around. Some people slurp way too many pearls their first try and end up having a mouth full of tapioca. Awkward for the person but hilarious to watch.

Below is a couple of places to get it in Austin, but if you want to try it just do a Yelp search for your local area.

The Alamo Draft House

Gossamer Drinking

Place: Alamo Draft House
Location: Austin, Texas

The Alamo Draft House in Austin, TX is one of our favorite places in the world. The Alamo is not your average movie theater. Along with showing the current line up of movies, there are days and events dedicated to cult classics, TV shows, and sport games! Also, you can enjoy all of those with a great meal and a huge selection of beers, wines, and other beverages. It’s not exactly a kid place but there are days set aside for the little ones.

The atmosphere is just so fun, especially where there are contest, free movies at the park, celebrities appearances, live shows, and well… booze!

Looking at the menu

Tips:
– Always arrive early. Really early. At least half an hour to 45 minutes before the movie starts. It’s best to get your food ahead of time and you’ll never know when there’s going to be a rush. Don’t worry about being bored since there’s always funny and very odd clips before the movie.
– Try the specials. As a chef, I love being able to appreciate when other cooks create such wonderful seasonal meals and desserts.
– Don’t talk during a movie or they’ll kick your ass.
