"If you’ve driven up Dean Keeton at any point in the past 15 to 20 years, you’ve probably noticed a small, bright blue building off the side of the road. That’s Aster’s, an Ethiopian restaurant that’s become almost as essential to the campus-area landscape as the LBJ Library down the street. At dinner, there's a standard menu. But show up for lunch on a weekday and you’ll have access to a buffet with about two dozen items you can use to assemble your own platter." - nicolai mccrary
