IN THE SPIRIT FEATURING: Lindsay and Morgan Vandygriff, sisters behind @EatingATX

TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT YOURSELF:

We are 2 sisters from Austin, Texas that have a passion for exploring local food and beverages and sharing our thoughts with our followers on Instagram.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE RECIPE YOU HAVE COME UP WITH USING AN ACC PRODUCT? WHAT WAS THE INSPIRATION BEHIND IT? 

Moscow Mules have always been a favorite of our family for a long time and we always keep ingredients on hand at our lake house. We decided to give our recipe a local flair using Tito's Vodka, which was founded right in our hometown of Austin, Texas. We love pairing this with the Spicy Ginger Mule mix to give you a warming sensation which is great during the winter time.

WHEN YOU ARE COMING UP WITH NEW DISHES OR DRINKS, DO YOU HAVE A SOURCE(S) FOR INSPIRATION?

Austin is a very diverse city with lots of different culinary influences. We get to experience all of these through new restaurants, dive bars, and our favorite, food trucks. 

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE RESTAURANT OR BAR, WHAT DAY OF THE WEEK DO YOU RECOMMEND IT, AND WHAT KIND OF EXPERIENCE CAN A VISITOR EXPECT?

Living in Texas, we love our Mexican Food and our BBQ. The best place in Austin that combines both of these things is Valentina's Tex Mex BBQ. It is a food truck that serves mesquite-smoked BBQ with a Tex-Mex flair. They also have incredible tacos that are a must-have when visiting our city.

WHAT TRENDS (EITHER LOCAL OR INDUSTRYWIDE) ARE YOU NOTICING TAKING SHAPE AND HOW? 

Truthfully, we're beginning to see a lot more health conscious food selections popping up. We appreciate this so much, as a majority of our jobs requires eating. We love that American Cocktail company creates gluten free, vegan, low calorie, and low sugar mixers!
