For the past few years, I’ve been hearing great things about Austin.  Apparently it’s the place to be - brimming with live music, local artists, unique boutiques and hip restaurants.  A friend of mine just got back from Austin (and is now determined to live there) and raved about Uchi, a sushi restaurant set in an old refurbished home in the city.

I suppose I shouldn’t simplify Uchi - the restaurant offers much more than sushi.  The menu is described as expanding on the Japanese tradition with new flavors and influences.  Diners can enjoy sushi, but can also choose from an eclectic menu with options such as seared Hudson Valley foie gras with fennel marmalade, or cured moulard duck breast with heirloom tomatoes, live basil, dried blueberries and vanilla oil.

Now I have to go to Austin.
