Torchy’s Tacos, Holy Cacao, and Man Bites Dog invite you to groove to DJ Chicken George while sipping Liquid S’mores made with complimentary Dripping Springs Vodka and 1921 Tequila and get a preview of HOLY CACAO’S 12 DAYS OF CHOCOLATE special holiday Cake Balls! The eateries of the Trailer Park & Eatery will donate 10% of sales for the entire day of November 19th to the families of the Fort Hood tragedy.
AUSTIN, TX – 11/12/09 – Torchy’s Tacos welcomes its new Trailer Park & Eatery neighbors: HOLY CACAO and MAN BITES DOG. Come celebrate the SOUTH AUSTIN TRAILER PARK & EATERY Re-Launch on Thursday, November 19th from 6:30pm to 9pm with free cocktails inspired by Holy Cacao’s Frozen Hot Chocolate (called Liquid S’mores) and designed by Claire Hees (local Artist and Bar Manager) while grooving to music spun by DJ Chicken George.
To celebrate the flavors of the holidays, HOLY CACAO has designed 12 special Cake Ball and Hot Chocolate flavors (preview flavors will be available at the Re-Launch Party). Starting the Friday following Thanksgiving HOLY CACAO will introduce a NEW flavor of Hot Chocolate and a NEW Cake Ball, every day for 12 Days. Those who survive and come back EVERY DAY for the full 12 Days and have the Hot Chocolate and Cake Ball special will be rewarded with a FREE Go Local Austin Card ($10 value) which can be used all around Austin to support other local vendors. The 12 DAYS OF CHOCOLATE Cake Balls will also be available in a gift box for the perfect holiday gift.
The HOLY CACAO Preview Cake Ball Flavors available at the Re-Launch Party will include: BERRY BALLS (a cranberry thyme cake dipped in candy coating then dipped in white chocolate), RUDOLPH’S BALLS (chocolate cake spiked with chopped red hots then dipped in dark chocolate and topped with red hot sprinkles) and GRANDMA’S BALLS (a fruit cake made with red wine and dipped in dark chocolate that will make you reconsider this dreaded holiday dessert!).
HOLY CACAO has updated their standard menu to include new Cake Ball flavors, Ice Cream Floats, 2 NEW flavored Hot Chocolates and brought back Toast Your Own S’mores to the Trailer Park. For just $6, the S’mores experience includes 4 fluffy marshmallows that are handcrafted daily in Austin, 2 Hershey Bars, graham crackers, and deluxe extendable S’mores Forks that will keep your hand from getting toasted along with the marshmallow! Check out the full menu and find out more at www.theholycacao.com.
MAN BITES DOG, a hot dog venture set to open November 14th, promises to bring the heat and the meat with a menu full of innovative dog and sausage creations. The concept at Man Bites Dog is simple—more meat, better buns, bigger ideas. Highlights include the Buffalo Hottie, a 100% Vienna beef frank topped with bleu cheese crumbles, buffalo hot sauce and green onions, the Bird Dog, a chicken sausage topped with sweet corn relish and pesto mayo, and several twists on classics (think dog-meets-Reuben). For the individualists, there’s even a build-your-own option with a variety of franks, sausages, sauces and toppings.
These aren’t your average dogs. Check out the full menu and find out more at www.manbitesdogaustin.com.
With spicy tacos, hot dogs, and a campfire to toast your own S’mores, the South Austin Trailer Park & Eatery is your headquarters for the cool weather.

S’MORES ON A STICK

admin — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 18:01:32 +0000

Childhood memories often involve camping with friends and family under the stars making S’mores under the stars. Since our busy schedules (and 100+ degree weather in Austin) often prevent making them here in town, we thought that we would bring them to you! We make marshmallows from scratch for our Drinking Chocolates. It was a natural decision to follow the direction of our Cake Balls and put the marshmallows on a stick, dip them in chocolate and add Graham Crackers! Isn’t everything better on a stick??

We also offer our made-from-scratch Marshmallows for a Roast Your Own S’mores Kit. Our Kit includes the following: 4 of our jumbo marshmallows, 2 Hershey’s Bars, Graham Crackers and use of our Deluxe Roasting Forks. Come down and sit around our campfire and enjoy a bit of the country, in town!

Visit Holy Cacao for S’Mores on a Stick today!

Without the hassle of making a fire, not to mention the heat, you can try a S’mores on a Stick™ today at Holy Cacao. It would be the perfect treat for you and your family when you are looking for something different to satisfy your sweet tooth. Stop by today and try one for yourself.

Our S’mores on a Stick™ is available for you at the trailer located at 1311 S. 1st Street in the South Austin Trailer Park & Eatery (next to Torchy’s Tacos). We are ½ mile south of Barton Springs on South 1st at the intersection of Elizabeth.

Cake Balls in Austin

admin — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 17:46:18 +0000

Doesn’t everything taste better on a stick? When we first decided to add Cake Balls to our menu, it was important to us to consider a few points. First, they must be delicious and made locally every day. Second, we wanted them to be fun and not too pretentious. Finally, we wanted them to be affordable and accessible, so that even if you want just ONE, you can walk up to our trailer and make a purchase. We don’t want you to have to take out a second mortgage to have a little dessert!

Cake Balls, for those of you who have yet to try them, are kind of like a truffle. We bake a cake from scratch and let it cool. Then, we crumble the cake and mix it with made from scratch frosting so that it will bind the cake together. At that point, we add the infamous Holy Cacao stick, and put them in the fridge to chill overnight. The next day, we add the chocolate coating that seals in the intensely delicious and moist taste. Our Cake Balls take about a day and a half to make from start to finish.

AUSTIN DRINKING CHOCOLATES

admin — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 17:39:46 +0000

Your first question might be: What is a drinking chocolate? It is a thick, velvety, luxurious chocolate that will satisfy even the most insatiable chocoholic. We based our Drinking Chocolate on the inspiration that we found at the City Bakery in New York City. After many sleepless nights, we found our “secret recipe” and have finally perfected the Holy Cacao Drinking Chocolate.

Stop by Holy Cacao for the best Drinking Chocolates in Austin!

We offer our Drinking Chocolate in the Dark Chocolate variety or the “Mexican”, which infuses a cinnamon/ancho/cayenne syrup, providing a delicious alternative. You can add a made from scratch marshmallow to your Drinking Chocolate, including a cinnamon marshmallow for the Mexican as well as fresh whipped cream. Further, be sure to try our Frozen Hot Chocolate. Based on the famous Serendipity 3 version, we add our Drinking Chocolate as the base, mix with Blue Bell Ice Cream and crushed ice for a truly unique drink. It’s guaranteed to satisfy your sweet tooth as well as help you beat the sweltering Austin heat!

Our Drinking Chocolates are made fresh for you at the trailer located at 1311 S. 1st in the South Austin Trailer Park & Eatery (next to Torchy’s Tacos). You will find us 1/2 mile south of Barton Springs Rd. on south 1st at the intersection of Elizabeth.

AUSTIN MILK SHAKES

admin — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 17:33:00 +0000

A milk shake is a milk shake, right? Not in our opinion! We believe that the best milk shakes include quality ingredients, creativity and must be THICK. We have created a unique milk shake at Holy Cacao called the Cake Shake™. One night in a dizzy state of having eaten Cake Balls all night, we thought, “What would happen if we mixed cake and ice cream in a shake?” This stroke of genius helped us create a milk shake reminiscent of the best part of a bowl of cake with ice cream on top from your childhood birthday parties.

Stop by Holy Cacao for Austin’s Best Milk Shakes!

Our Cake Shake™ is available in a variety of flavors ranging from all chocolate, all white cake, carrot cake, red velvet, mint chocolate, peanut butter and chocolate and more. You can have them made with fresh milk and Homemade Vanilla or Dutch Chocolate Blue Bell Ice Cream. We will add fresh whipped cream at no additional charge and garnish it with the Cake Ball of your choice. We believe that you will not beat our milk shake in Austin. So, what are you waiting for? Come try one now!

Our milk shakes are made fresh for you at the trailer located at 1311 S. 1st in the South Austin Trailer Park & Eatery (next to Torchy’s Tacos). You will find us 1/2 mile south of Barton Springs Rd. on south 1st at the intersection of Elizabeth.
