"I learned that Plano-based Whiskey Cake Kitchen & Bar is opening its first Austin-area location in Round Rock at 2600 North I-35 starting Tuesday, September 13. The Texas-American menu will be served for lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch and features dishes like goat cheese fondue, candied bacon, chicken tenders and malted waffles, burgers, croque-madames, carrot cake pancakes, and the namesake whiskey cake — a stick toffee cake with a bourbon crème anglaise, spiced pecans, and whipped cream. The restaurant will have a garden supplying cocktail garnishes, a whole whiskey collection, an on-site retail market with local producers, and will donate half of its proceeds from its first day of service to the nonprofit the Dog Alliance. Hours are listed as 11 a.m.–10 p.m. Monday–Thursday, 11 a.m.–11 p.m. Friday, 10 a.m.–11 p.m. Saturday, and 10 a.m.–10 p.m. Sunday." - Nadia Chaudhury
