A friend rounded up some of us for a carb-a-licious dinner at an Vinny’s – an Italian restaurant on Barton Springs Rd. The next day is the Austin Marathon, and my buddy was packing in some energy to fuel those legs for the big race. Much respect, as he does not seem like the athletic type or physique but will be finishing the 26-mile strong! For an optimal diet regime for marathons, there’s more detail than just a big plate of pasta - check out this article on carb-loading.

As for the pizza, I ordered the Margherita after verifying they use Bufallo Mozzarella. I wasn’t expecting too much, but the pizza turned out decent. I like the strong flavor of Bufallo Mozzarella, but this was as potent as others I’ve had. The crust was more like a flatbread, had hints of garlic, and went well with the sprinklings of basil and tomato chunks. Wouldn’t die to come back for the pizza, but their selection of pastas looked yum from what my friends ordered.

A couple of quotes from tonight:

“What’s more interesting than age difference is height difference.”

“I bought the largest soda so that it put a giant wall between me and the guy at the movie theater.”

Tonight is also v-day eve. I haven’t heard stories this entertaining in awhile, haha. Til next time pizza friends :)
