Austin is well known for their food trucks and food truck trailer parks. In 2010, I had a blast visiting Torchy’s, Man Bites Dog, and Hey Cupcake. When I was back in Austin for The Southern Tailgating Cookbook Tour a few weeks ago, I made a stop at a new truck that I had heard quite a bit about; Gourdough’s Specialty Doughnuts!

These aren’t your typical doughnuts. At Gourdough’s you are getting a doughnut that will eat like a meal! Each doughnut is topped with a wide assortment of toppings. From the Flying Pig (Bacon with Maple Syrup Icing) to the Dirty Berry (Fudge Chocolate Icing with Grilled Strawberries), Gourgough’s has something for every taste! I decided to go with the Funky Monkey (Grilled Bananas & Cream Cheese Icing with Brown Sugar). If you are a doughnut lover, you have to give Gourdough’s a try!

For those of you who live in the Athens, GA, area, I would love to see you at Avid Bookshop tonight (10/4/13) at 6:30pm for a signing of The Southern Tailgating Cookbook! Have a great weekend!
