Whenever I'm eating barbecue in Texas, butterflies. It's basically like a reaction now. Whenever I walk to a barbecue joint, automatically my mouth started watering. I feel this excitement like I'm going on a meaty rollercoaster and I'm so excited to come to this place. Crimson Creek Smokehouse. Really haven't been around all that long, but they do something that I really never seen before. Smoked pork belly. Burns ends. Oh my goodness. This is a tender piece of pork belly. You can see the juice, the little pool of juice already forming below it. The outside is a nice and toasty crust. This is a plastic knife and it felt like I was using a heated metal knife and I was just slicing through butter. Oh my goodness. This thing, when you cut it open, it's just glistening. The juice on the pork belly is sealed in. You can see all that gorgeous fat, that delightful smoke ring. Just squeezing it a little bit. You can see all the juice that's trapped in these little fatty pork nuggets. You gotta come and try this. There is so much flavor in these little pork nuggets. First of all, it's just a bite of smoke. You taste that nice seasoning, the hint of sweetness from the barbecue sauce. I'm going to take a gentle little bite. And the whole thing just falls apart into a fatty, melty, smoky, delightful, juicy mess. Glistening with juice and fat and flavor. And the outside is perfectly charred with a hint of sweetness. It's pretty much like eating the best bacon candy in the world. Make a little sandwich out of this, give it a little squeeze so all that nice pork fat goes into the buns. This is such a good way to enjoy these burnt ends. Rolls a little sweet, soaks in all that delicious, buttery juice from the pork. Little refreshing palate cleansing crunch from the pickles and onions. This is the most perfect little pork sandwich. I love how beautifully this is made. This goes way beyond your typical salt and pepper. There's so much different spices in here. There's so much different flavor. I love the char on the outside. And that nice hint of bitterness that's inside these burnt ends. This is a labor of love and you can definitely taste a couple other things I wanted to try. Some mac and cheese. This is so good as well. I think these mac and cheese are a little peppery, a little spicy. Baked beans. Sweet, rich, tangy baked beans with chunks of pork inside. They also got some of their smoked turkey. That's a smoky, tender piece of turkey. And they make their own dessert, peach cobbler. Sweet, crumbly, buttery peach cobbler. This is an awesome Texas barbecue meal, especially those pork belly burnt ends. Gotta come down here and give it a try. All right, I'm gonna finish this and then go to lunch number two. Next stop, this pizza buffet. You ain't never seen a pizza buffet like this before and neither have I. Let's go check it out. I am here at the Luca Gaucho. Like I said, I've never seen a pizza buffet concept like this before in my life. If you guys ever been to a Brazilian steakhouse before, this is pretty much that except it's pizzas. The process is called rodizio and servers will bring you a rotation of the 18 different types of pizzas they make here, fresh in house. And they'll keep on serving you more pizzas until you pretty much beg for mercy. So of the 18 different types of pizzas, there's 14 are savory, four are sweet, and you get unlimited amounts of the three appetizers. All this for around $25. This is gonna be so much fun. Order my appetizers and this is the little placard that's on your table. Green for go, maroon for stop. Let's do it. My appetizers has just arrived. Some arugula salad, some homemade meatballs, and lobster bisque. Whoa, that's so creamy. Very thick, very creamy lobster bisque. In this place, they make everything in house, including the meatballs, the dough. Really good meatballs. Also, all the pizza dough are fermented for over 30 hours. Again, 18 different types of pizza. I only got four right here. Luckily, they do cut it up into smaller slices so you can try them all. This is the spinach bacon. The dough is really, really light. Yes, please. Chicken and Brazilian cheese. Just like a Brazilian barbecue buffet, the pizzas, they just keep coming. The pizza dough here definitely tastes different than a typical pizza dough. It's almost got a melt-in-your-mouth quality to it. Between slices, arugula salad. Next, chicken tikka masala. It tastes like a chicken tikka masala. So I tried two so far. Next one, sausage and barbecue sauce. Oh, this is really good. I especially like the green peppers. It adds a nice crunch to the slice. Sausage is good. Barbecue sauce, sweet and tangy. Again, everything just tastes really good on this super light dough. This slice, mushroom and vodka sauce. Think overall impression of these pizzas. The ingredients are very solid. Delicious mushrooms. The cheese is great. Got a nice chew to it. Sauce is delicious. Again, on that super light crust. This is chicken catupiry. They told me it's a Brazilian cheese with chicken. And there's some herbs on here as well. I think a drizzle of olive oil. It's a very, very nutty cheese. I mean, the pizzas just keep coming and coming and coming faster and faster. Next slice is the elote. Cheese and corn and some Mexican crema sauce on top. My suggestion, eat it quickly. Because as soon as they give you a slice, take a bite as quickly as possible. Elote pizza is so good. Creamy, popping sweet corn. Also with the appetizer, you can do take your crust, dunk it into that marinara sauce. That's a really good way to eat your pizza crust. This is really exciting. Truffle for cheese. Loaded with cheese. It's one of my favorites so far. So cheesy and truffly. This thing definitely deserves a dip in the meatball sauce. Oh my gosh. That's just the most perfect combo. Next piece, hot soppressata. Oh my gosh. This is by far my favorite. The salami is so flavorful and spicy. Really thin with a drizzle, I think of a bit of honey on this as well. So you get a nice sweet and savory flavor on the slice. This is just magical. This is a Brazilian pizza buffet after all. So this slice is the picanha. Juicy, smoky picanha sausage. Loads of cheese, some fresh herbs. Next one is the Turkish lamb. Some red onions, sauce, cheese and mint. This is so unique. This thing tastes partially like a lamb kebab. Again, when you're ready to cleanse your palate, take a bite of your arugula salad. I love dunking my crust in this. Over a dozen slices of pizza down, still feel pretty good. Thank you. Next piece. This looks awesome. Little curled up cups of pepperoni with that spicy oil inside. Look how crispy and toasty and nice this is. This pizza is just loaded with pepperoni. Super toasty, spicy pepperoni. Oh, that thing is charred so nicely. Each piece also has a nice smoky flavor because they use wood charcoal in the oven as well. That crust is also super flaky too. It's definitely hard to keep up with the speed that they bring the pizzas. I think I tried almost the 14 savory slices. Margarita. It tastes way more of that nice sweet tomato sauce and that nice cheese. If you're eating too much, you might take a little break. Eat a margarita pizza. First slice of the dessert series. This is awesome. Yeah, banana please. Thank you. Oh, this is so good. Creamy with toasted coconut on top. This dough is so light. It's almost like a toasted crepe. Next up, Nutella with sweet mascarpone cheese and powdered sugar on top. Oh, it's so good. This is so chocolatey and nice. Look how thin the crust is. I think maybe they make the dessert pizza crust even thinner than a regular pizza. I'm not sure, but this is amazing. Three of the third of the four dessert pizzas. Banana flambe. I think that's caramelized sugar on top of this pizza. Cheese with caramelized sugar on top. Yeah, that's delicious. Finally, guava pizza with mascarpone cheese. Oh my gosh. I think it's like a guava jam. It's underneath the cheese. Sweet, savory, and fruity. Tried out every single pizza they offer here. Overall quality of the pizza. The dough is very different from other pizza places. Very light. I should be extremely, extremely full right now. I feel okay. Spicy soppressata. That one's my favorite. Love the pepperoni. Love the picanha. The truffle for cheese. Also, every single one of the dessert pizzas. Amazing. This place, if you are a pizza lover, if you are a Brazilian steakhouse lover, if you just love to see pizza magically appearing next to you endlessly, you gotta check this place out. Also, everyone extremely friendly. This place, must try if you're ever in Texas. Such a fun meal. Fortunately, I think that's the end for me. Dinner is at Asian Fusion. This is one of the hottest Asian restaurants in the Austin area. And this restaurant serves a fusion between Vietnamese, Thailand, Singapore, and Chinese dishes. So there's dishes like tom yum soup, lemongrass duck skewers. There's also a dim sum menu, pad thai, pepper steak. And it has been voted as one of the top 100 restaurants in America for the last three years. First of all, got a couple of their refreshers. One is a dragon fruit with homemade rose syrup. Oh, this is so good. So rosy. Also got a lemongrass tangerine drink. Oh, this is yummy as well. I feel like the roast went better. First dish, a basket of soup dumplings. Soup dumplings in yellow wrapper. And these things are filled with soup. Look at that. Oh no, no, no, no, no. Why do bad things happen to good dumplings? A lot of... Oh my gosh, the soup keeps spilling out. There's a ton of soup in these dumplings. Wow, it's so good. These are some of the porkiest dumplings I've ever had. Give it a little nibble. Skin is nice and light. Add some vinegar. Some chili oil. That is a really good pork soup dumpling. And it tastes really different from a typical soup dumpling. I'm trying to figure out what the difference is. The only way I can describe it is I feel like the pork in this is porkier. Like in a really good way. Really clean porky flavor. Wow, the pork in the soup dumpling feels like it's much richer, more collagen-y. That's a superb soup dumpling. Can't really pinpoint what they did to make it taste like this, but it tastes really different than all the other soup dumplings I've had before. Just better. Shumai. Super thin skin with a really snappy pork and shrimp filling. That's a very good shumai. Finally, a basket of hagao. The reason why the wrapper is red is because it's infused with passion fruit. That's delicious. Chewy, mochi-esque wrapper. Nice and snappy filling. That's what a great hagao should taste like. They serve a giant short rib pho. And there's a side bowl of pho with an egg yolk inside. So what people usually do is let the egg yolk cook for 60 seconds and just eat it like that. Or you can mix it and make the broth richer. I'm gonna do a little bit of both. Eat some of the egg. And mix it with the broth. So the broth becomes richer. Look at this giant bowl. Oh my gosh. Oh that. That is tender. Wow. I've had a lot of short rib pho. I don't think I've ever had anything fall off the bone so easily before. Inside the broth, there's slices of filet mignon. Brighter pho noodles. Some scallions, onions, cilantro. First of all, the broth. Really, really beefy. So good, so good, so good. Of course, this being Texas, the short rib. Are you kidding me with this stuff? This is the most ridiculous bowl of short rib pho I've ever had in my life. Look at this, look at this. Fall off the bone tender. The meat is basically melting in your mouth. Plus, oh my goodness, that smoky flavor. There is so much delicious smoky taste in this rib. I've been to many pho places where they serve a short rib with their pho. It's never been this tender. Not even close. I mean, this is on a whole different stratosphere when it comes to tenderness and flavor. You barely bite down, the meat just falls apart. Filet mignon. Like it's from a steakhouse. And the most unbelievable thing about this, $22 for this bowl of pho. I guess it's not surprising this being Texas, meat just tastes all around better here. But this is unreal how good this is. You've got to come and get this. Noodles are springy and good. I'm so impressed by this. Finally had to try this. This is their Hanoi coffee. They make a cream out of egg yolk and then espresso is poured on making this all nice and foamy. Oh, that's so creamy and good. Stir it with a little wafer. This is absolutely delicious. Last thing, a flaming cheesecake. Liquor 43 is lit on fire and then drizzled on top of this cheesecake. With cinnamon causing a pretty much a delightful fireworks display. The top of the cheesecake is bruleed and then finally coconut pineapple ice cream is added on top. It's basically a creme brulee cheesecake with delicious ice cream. Cheesecake is delicious, very cinnamony. Everything I had here, delightful. So definitely do yourselves a favor. Do not miss out on this place if you ever come to Austin.
