A new year, a new opportunity, a new menu and a new (and better) person to share this great experience with! Austin’s genuine, ass-kicking Italian bistro L’oca D’oro (The Golden Goose) held up my newish tradition…Feast of the Seven Fishes. Normally, I want to pimp slap people who have to take a picture of every damned thing they eat, trust me, I see them daily and it’s why I deleted my FeceBook and Instagram accounts. However, I want to share these culinary delights since you won’t be seeing this fantastic stuff at Olive Garden. Jennifer and I had a fantastic time with the every friendly and helpful staff.
