The city\u2019s growing foodist culture follows suit with a neighborly vibe and dedication to sustainability and fresh-from-the-farm foods. Cheesemongers with a taste for pungent goat\u2019s milk cheeses can rejoice: Texas is the nation\u2019s largest producer of sheep and goat products thanks to the rocky Hill Country terrain. While you will, of course, find international cheese flavors throughout the Austin dining scene, local restaurateurs look out for their own, often dishing such area favorites as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.purelucktexas.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Pure Luck<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.veldhuizencheese.com\" target=\"_blank\">Veldhuizen<\/a>, and CKC Farms. Austin may not yet register on the map of foodie capitals, but this cool, central Texas oasis boasts something that the New Yorks of the world do not\u2014that much-touted, smooth-like-honey, Southern hospitality.<\/p>\n<h2>Markets<\/h2>\n<h3>Central Market<\/h3>\n<p>This homegrown supermarket is hailed for its commitment to local, organic goods and a hefty offering of microbrew beers, wines, and artisan cheese. There are nearly 800 cheeses from which to choose\u2014including most of the American Cheese Society\u2019s 2008 award-winners\u2014and up to 4,000 varietals of wine, with a few bottles open to taste. The store also has one of the city\u2019s best bread bakeries; the caraway-crusted Black Russian Rye is a beauty.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.centralmarket.com\/\">Central Market<\/a><\/strong> 4001 North Lamar Boulevard Austin, TX 512.206.1000<\/em><br \/>\n<em><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.centralmarket.com\/\">Central Market<\/a><\/strong> 4477 South Lamar Boulevard Austin, TX 512.899.4300<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Farm to Market Grocery<\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_1552\" style=\"width: 260px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/cult409_1879.tif\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1552\" class=\" wp-image-1552\" alt=\"A basket full of baguettes \" src=\"https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/cult409_1879.tif\" width=\"250\" height=\"179\"><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1552\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Freshly baked loaves of bread from Farm to Market Grocery<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Tucked behind one of those flat storefront facades ubiquitous to the sets of old-school Western flicks, Farm to Market Grocery is a quaint neighborhood stockpile of sustainable and health-conscious product catering to South Congress hipsters and tourists.

Early birds can wake to a whiff of savory Brie en brioche, while lunch brings a classic offering of soups, salads, and sandwiches in a rustic setting. The wide array of cheese-friendly breads is most notable.

Second only to Central Market in terms of sheer size, Whole Foods scores points for its team of savvy cheesemongers. Picnickers will appreciate pre-prepared plates laden with two or three hearty wedges, a scoop of <em>membrillo<\/em>, and a bamboo knife ($10).

Nibble on Fourme d\u2019Ambert, Baby Bell\u00e9toile, and the espresso-rubbed cheddar Barely Buzzed, all served with Marcona almonds, Castelvetrano olives, and figs.

Translation: its in-room minibars are insane. Two gracious portions of artisan cheese hold court with supremely genteel company\u2014think caviar, duck rillettes, and grass-fed bison jerky. That\u2019s not to mention the other posh snacks including olives, <em>croccantini<\/em>, and Perla dark chocolate that\u2019s divine with a spicy Rioja. In a last coat of polish, the bar is equipped with all the appropriate trappings, from a mini cheese board and planer to mother-of-pearl caviar spoons. Guests who can bear to leave their private crash pads\u2014all impossibly stylish with a hodgepodge of revamped antiques and iconic modern designs\u2014will find a sleek patent-leather sofa awaiting them in the urbane hotel lounge. The kitchen turns out such decadent charcuterie and cheese plates as a goaty trio from CKC Farms, served with ripe, local tomatoes. Of course, everything tastes better with a helping of classic rock by the pool.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hotelstcecilia.com\/\">Hotel Saint Cecilia<\/a><\/strong> 112 Academy Drive Austin, TX 512.852.2500<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Taste Select Wines<\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_1554\" style=\"width: 260px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/cult409_1795.tif\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1554\" class=\" wp-image-1554 \" alt=\"Two enomatic fountains with wine\" src=\"https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/cult409_1795.tif\" width=\"250\" height=\"350\"><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1554\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Enomatic fountains at Taste Select Wines<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Opened in Spring 2008, Taste Select Wines is the only Austin bar and retailer to offer wine on \u201ctap\u201d via an Enomatic fountain that self-dispenses one-and-a-half ounce pours. There\u2019s also magic in the kitchen, where chef Bill McGrory, a veteran of Tom Colicchio\u2019s Craft, specializes in house-cured charcuterie. The meats, of course, pair beautifully with a plate of two or four cheeses ($8-$16), each with a unique accompaniment. Look for Roaring 40\u2019s Blue coupled with candied walnut butter or Seal Bay Triple Cream with black plum syrup.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tasteselectwines.com\/\">Taste Select Wines<\/a><\/strong> 202 West Cesar Chavez Austin, TX 512.478.2783<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Vino Vino<\/h3>\n<p>In the crop of wine bar-slash-retail shops burgeoning about town, Vino Vino is a richer varietal, with a selection of mostly Old World wines that positively ooze charisma. While bottles are available to purchase on the run, chef Esteban Escobar\u2019s intriguing cheese plates tempt us to stay a while. Grab a seat at a long farm table beneath the lofty framework ceiling and note how a bright salad of local grapefruit, mint, and fennel coaxes the earthiness from a creamy Garrotxa ($6). Meanwhile, a slightly smoky Idiaz\u00e1bal is accented with black pepper, red grapes, and basil ($7).<\/p>\n<p><em><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.vinovinotx.com\/\">Vino Vino<\/a><\/strong> 4119 Guadalupe Street Austin, TX 512.465.9282<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Dining<\/h2>\n<h3>Chuy\u2019s<\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_1555\" style=\"width: 260px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/cult409_1822a.tif\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1555\" class=\" wp-image-1555\" title=\"Chuy's\" alt=\"Sign for Chuy's\" src=\"https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/cult409_1822a.tif\" width=\"250\"><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1555\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Home of the Chuy Gooey<\/p><\/div>\n<p>We\u2019d be hard-pressed to find a funkier Austin vibe than at Chuy\u2019s, where velvet Elvises and 1950s auto paraphernalia are as vibrant as the Tex-Mex cuisine.
