| | The Austin Chronicle: Food: Toying With Tradition: How the Empanada Parlour Changed While Staying the Same (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | It has taken me half a decade to figure out the Empanada Parlour, and if it weren't for the veteran downtown restaurant's new digs and expanded menu, I would still be working on the embarrassingly inaccurate assumption that the Empanada Parlour was a family business overseen by a spirited Latin American matriarch. |
 | | Empanadas, for me, meant Brazilian or Venezuelan street food -- little pockets of stuffed pastry dough made to eat casually as you wandered the cacophonous streets of Rio or Caracas. |
