"I killed time at the Thompson Austin bar where I devoured Massachusetts‑sourced oysters that were nicely briny, shrimp toast with a dense minced‑shrimp layer and sesame seeds on perfectly toasty bread (I could’ve had many more), and the fried ugali — a wonderful carb-y fried cornmeal dish; the bar was an easy place to chill out." - Nadia Chaudhury
