Adele Hazan

Austin Contributor

Adele is the Austin contributor for the Resy Editorial team, ensuring that the worldwide web has access to her taco testimonials, brisket breakdowns, migas musings, and other alliterated assessments. She moved from Chicago to Austin 15 years ago and refuses to leave, despite the dissipating weirdness of the city. She writes about food, restaurants, college and career planning, and the rise of pickleball. She shares the same first and middle name as the famous singer but does not have any musical talent (besides giving it her all for karaoke at Ego’s). In dedication to her job, Adele once ate 10 burgers in five days during peak Austin summer. Her words to live by: “We’d like to see the dessert menu.”

Adele’s Favorite Resy Spots

Dai Due

East Austin-Cherrywood

Local ingredients served with a level of care you won’t find anywhere else.

Eldorado Cafe

North Central

The Tex-Mex competition in town is fierce, but this is a true standout.

Odd Duck

South Lamar

Nationally celebrated for an inventive and impressive menu, and rightfully so.

Small Victory

Downtown

Tucked away from the downtown chaos, this speakeasy is my go-to for date night.

Two Hands Austin

South Congress

A solid brunch in the heart of all (definitely get a Resy in advance).
