Spicy Mussles and Chorizo
We don’t have nearly enough great seafood restaurants in Austin. It’s not hard to believe, especially since we’re not anywhere near the coastal waters making it a little difficult and slightly expensive to get fresh seafood delivered consistently. However, Michael McCollum and Bill Rasch recently opened RedFin Seafood Kitchen in north Austin and, they’re succeeding in bringing in some of the freshest, best tasting seafood in town.
Redfin avoids the stalls of an old stale fried seafood joint. Instead they boasts daily fresh seafood and innovative dishes prepared by Executive Chef Mario Rodriguez in a casual dinning environment. Chef Rodriguez, has over 20 years experience in the kitchen including a long stint with the W Hotel in Austin. Together with owners McCollum and Rasch, he’s created a fun and tasteful menu with fresh Gulf Coast fare. Some of his best dishes include blacked redfish, wood-fire grilled salmon and Pepita Crusted Mahi-Mahi served with roasted poblano-tomatillo salsa and Mexican street corn.
RedFin boasts an upscale casual dinning environment in a family friendly atmosphere, which is a perfect fit for the mostly upscale neighborhoods and communities along RR 620. The interior features a beautiful custom made bar top and walls cut from 150-year-old long-leaf red pine from La Grange, Texas. The outdoor dining area provides a comfortable, lively atmosphere, with a dog friendly patio and a beautiful covered plays cape with nearby picnic tables adding to the overall romantic appeal of the restaurant, making it the perfect spot for a casual date or a fun family night.

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,…
