Last week, we wrote about one of the optional, no-host excursions during BlogHer Food '13. Another option for our attendees will be to experience some of the eclectic food, music, and culture of Austin during a progressive dinner in South Side of town. This trip will be led by Clay Nichols, an Austinite and author who blogs at DadLabs. The dinner will include stops at the following Austin institutions:

• Taco Xpress for margaritas, guacamole, and tacos al pastor on one of the funkiest decks on South Lamar;

• Whip In is the world's only convenience store featuring authentic gujarati cuisine from the Gandhi region of India, and an amazing selection of craft brews. Doesn't get more South Austin than this; and

• Gourdoughs for dessert. These doughnuts -- with names like Funky Monkey, Flying Pig, and Son of a Peach -- must be seen to be believed.

Keep your eyes open for a BlogHer Food attendee newsletter that will give you details about how to sign up for this excursion.
