"Central Market has been helping hungry shoppers take a break for over 30 years. The market’s varied menu features pizzas, sandwiches, smoothies, pastas, and grilled proteins (try the black bean burger or the salmon salad). The dedicated kids’ menu is also pleasing, with burgers, grilled cheeses, chicken tenders, and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. There’s indoor seating, but it’s also nice to take the meal on the outdoor patio that overlooks two giant playscapes with tons of room to run around." - Erin Russell
"A grocery-and-demo venue offering a cooking class led by a cookbook author/food writer that teaches plant-based recipes such as caramelized onion dip, vegetable coconut soup, and mushroom cakes; the evening class includes ticketed admission and books will be available for purchase." - Nadia Chaudhury
"An Austin supermarket celebrating its 30th anniversary with a ticketed food stroll on Saturday, September 14 from 2 to 5 p.m. at its North Lamar Boulevard location, offering tastes of various foods and sweets and a commemorative gift; tickets are $10." - Nadia Chaudhury
"Available at Salt & Time and occasionally at Central Market." - Eater Staff
"Central Market has only 10 stores across Texas, in or around Austin, Houston, and Dallas. It's a hybrid where you can both pick up food to get yourself through the week or dive into specific or specialty items like blue grits, a bright gose, and dried squid ink noodles." - H. Drew Blackburn
