Who would’ve thought to ever put these two delectable foods together and drizzle them with syrup? Moonshine is serving up their delicious take on chicken and waffles accompanied with syrup, whipped butter, and chipotle cream gravy.

1886 Cafe and Bakery at the Driskill Hotel

 604 Brazos St. Austin, TX 78701 | You can only hope that “Texas” will be somewhere in this waffle’s name. 1886’s Texas Pecan Waffle is everything you have ever dreamed a waffle would be. Fresh pecans, blueberries, banana, blackberry jam, powdered sugar, and a drizzle of warm maple syrup will have you praising the waffle angels. 1886 Cafe and Bakery is located inside the Driskill Hotel.

 

24 Diner

600 N Lamar Blvd | When has 24 Diner ever disappointed?  Not only does 24 Diner have some of the best waffles in town, they’ve found a way to have fun with it.  Go for the eggs and bacon waffle sandwich and tag us on your Instagram!

 

Caroline + Upstairs

621 Congress Ave Suite 101 | Caroline’s is an all-day local spot serving homemade breakfast, lunch, dinner and to-go.  I’m not saying the chicken and waffles is the best dish on the brunch menu, but it’s definitely my favorite.  The waffles are perfectly crispy all the way through and the fried chicken is juicy and full of flavor.  Add a side of fruit and top it with every last bit of the maple syrup and honey butter.

 

South Austin

Caesars Entertainment Unveils Stunning Transformation with the Grand Opening of Caesars New Orleans

New Orleans, LA - On October 22, 2024, I recently had an opportunity to attend the grand opening of Caesars New Orleans, marking the completion of a stunning $435 million transformation of the former Harrah’s New Orleans. It was an evening to remember, filled with excitement, luxury, and the vibrant spirit of New Orleans. The festivities began on Canal Street with an exhilarating ceremony led by Caesars Entertainment CEO Tom Reeg, President & COO Anthony Carano, and Caesars New Orleans General Manager Samir Mowad. The atmosphere was electric as they joined Caesar himself and an iconic New Orleans second-line band in a lively procession into the casino. It felt like the entire city had come out to celebrate, with Caesars New Orleans team members and Mayor LaToya Cantrell also joining the event to commemorate this historic occasion. Anthony Carano’s pride in introducing Caesars to New Orleans was palpable. “From local favorite Emeril Lagasse to our long-time partner, Chef Nobu, to the beautiful state-of-the-art Caesars Sportsbook, all-new rooms and gaming floor, and of course, our gorgeous new center bar, Octavia, Caesars New Orleans offers something for everyone. It’s a world-class resort in the heart of the Big Easy, and we can’t wait for our guests to experience it,” he said. The ceremony was a spectacle, kicking off with an iconic Mardi Gras float featuring Caesar and his court, and a dazzling firework show that lit up the New Orleans sky. The second-line band then led us revelers into the resort’s elegant center bar, Octavia, where we indulged in a “Taste of Caesars New Orleans.” Each bite from the six on-property restaurants was a delightful journey, capturing the essence of New Orleans’ rich culinary scene. Throughout the night, elemental entertainers, including the Saints Cheer Krewe, Mardi Gras Indians, Zulu Tramps, and showgirls, created an authentic and unforgettable Big Easy experience. Everywhere I turned, there was something new to marvel at, each performance more mesmerizing than the last. Samir Mowad, SVP and GM of Caesars New Orleans, highlighted the significance of the transformation, stating, “This year marks 25 years since we opened in New Orleans, and the completion of this project is the perfect way to usher in a new era with Caesars. Synonymous with the Caesars name, our new resort is pure elegance, and we’re excited to introduce a luxury brand like this to New Orleans. We are extremely grateful for the support of the community, our team members, and our guests as we come to the finish line of this tremendous transformation.” The hotel itself is impressive,…
