After The Surrogate Valentine premiere, I was beyond ready to grub!
Torchy’s Tacos is all over Austin (with one location in Dallas). This stand is in the Trailer Park and Eatery, which features a number of other food trailers.
I prefer this to Los Angeles’ food truck scene – the location doesn’t need to be hunted down, and you don’t have to eat on the sidewalk!
While waiting for our tacos, Abe and I shared an appetizer
STARVING! The chips couldn’t get into my belly fast enough – by the end I was desperately shoving handfuls of crumbs in my mouth…
…then DRINKING the salsa. Classy!
For my main course, I ordered the Brush Fire Taco without Sour Cream
Very fresh and not too spicy, even with the grilled jalapenos
I also tried a bite of Abe’s Fried Avocado Taco – think Jalapeno Popper/Mozzarella Stick breading
Very full and happy, we headed over to The Blue Starlite Drive-in Theatre
More cool trailers!!! This is the Wonder Craft – a boutique of handmade goodies housed in an Airstream:
We came to see my Surrogate Valentine co-star Goh perform
Snagged a video of him covering The Cure’s “Just Like Heaven”
Like what you hear? You can now pre-order the soundtrack – and the movie itself too!!!

Hi Lynn,
I love your blog, look forward to reading it every day. I had a few persoanl questions I wanted to ask you about Binge eating, I believe that I have developed something close to this, I am very scared and was wondering if i could email you? It wont let me email when I click the email button on your contact page. Thank you for any help you can give.
Salsa is AMAZING. I’ve absolutely been known to drink it/eat it with a spoon when the chips are gone. No shame!
How fun! I really want to eat off of a food truck! They had some at the brew fest we went to a few weekends ago, but I wasn’t hungry! That salsa looks super good! Enjoy the rest of your weekend
Thanks for the sweet comment on my blog 
I think I actually like Goh’s cover of “Just Like Heaven” better than The Cure’s Original. I found myself singing along
Can’t wait to see the movie! Just like a dream… ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ Just like a dream … ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫
The chips look soooo appetizing! Have fun!
The taco looks so good! With the weather being warmer here I am so craving summer foods like that!
Looks like you are having a great time in TX! Love the “trailer park” eateries.
I really hate it when I accidentally let myself get way too hungry – sometimes it just sneaks up on me and I don’t even notice until my hands are actually trembling. Freaky.
Your method of carrying your own healthy snacks is such a good plan! I try to keep a piece of fruit or a packet of nuts or crackers in the car for commuting days, but it doesn’t always work. Must Try Harder
Carry on having fun now, you two!
We need to get YOU on a soundtrack album. I really love your outtake scene from “White on Rice” and wished it was on the DVD extras.
Looks like you two are having such a fun time! I’ve never been to Texas but Austin looks like tons of fun. Avocado tacos, yum!
So cool that you are at SXSW! haha I can’t believe you drank the salsa; I’ve always wanted to just eat the salsa by itself like that, it’s nice to know I’m not the only one!
wow, he’s A-MAZING!! will he be doing any shows in LA?
I just checking out Goh’s cover – one of my favorite songs. He is so talented! Did he do all of the music for the movie?
Yup – he plays himself and does the entire soundtrack! Here’s the trailer and a music video on itunes if you haven’t seen it yet: http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/independent/surrogatevalentine/
hahaha, your post title reminded me of a treasure trail…sick.
