My KUTX: Austin Food Critic Matthew Odam

We love food here in Austin (duh). With some new barbeque/ramen/burger/pizza/kimchi joint opening seemingly every week, you need somebody to help sort the mouth-watering meals from the meh. Good thing Austin-American Statesman restaurant critic Matthew Odam is on the case: this week sees the release of his annual eating guide, a countdown of the best fifty restaurants in Austin, including one that has amazing, traditional Charleston food. He’s also the guest DJ on My KUTX, spinning songs that help him write, think, and eat delicious meals for a living. Hear Matthew Odam’s My KUTX on Saturday, October 27 at 6 p.m. or anytime at the bottom of the page.
