News Notes

Stat

42%. That’s the average price increase for a meal at a chain restaurant over the past five years. While inflation is inevitable, you can spend your dollars supporting local flavors by checking out brunch spots around Austin. (FinanceBuzz)

Tech

Want to learn something new... from the comfort of your own bed? Try visiting the Museum of All Things, a new virtual museum generated from Wikipedia with exhibits on millions of topics. When the scrolling gets old and you need some real-world interaction, head to Austin’s IRL museums.

Number

$20.24. That’s the average cost of a large cheese pizza in Austin based on a national pizza study conducted by Clever. Luckily, the Capital City has many pizzerias that are worth the dough, and our options go way beyond just cheese.

Eat

Goodbye, Bistro Shrimp Pasta. If you’re headed to the Cheesecake Factory this weekend, be aware that the chain is removing 13 menu items (and adding 23 more). Maybe consider getting your meal at a local option. (USA Today)

Sports

Power forward Anthony Davis is back in the game, which could turn the Mavs’ season around. Get the biggest stories every day from the local experts of the Dallas Mavericks with Locked On’s daily podcasts.

🍹 Sip happens

A spread of appetizers from Devil May Care. The table features falafel garnished with herbs, a creamy dip with pita bread, a serving of golden fries in a sleek metal container, and small bowls of vibrant toppings like pomegranate and sauces. The dishes are presented on stylish black and white plates, set against a warm, ambient backdrop with soft lighting and elegant decor.
