Bao'd Up
Where we've featured it

At all four Bao’d Up locations you’ll be able to grab a full Thanksgiving feast, but in bao form. That means you can eat little fluffy pillows filled with turkey and potatoes all afternoon before finishing up with a pumpkin pie bao and a pumpkin spice boba tea. Has science gone too far? You’ll have to try it and let us know. Turkey baos and pumpkin pie baos are available starting 11/16 through the end of the year.

Nearly all of the baos are Bao’d Up are under $3, which means you can pack your pockets full of as many meat-filled pillow-pockets as you can manage, though we recommend just grabbing a takeout container and keeping your pockets food-free. They also have a number of more substantial offerings, like spicy Dan Dan noodles or the pork belly plate that comes with two pieces of tender meat, two pan-seared buns, a side of pickles, and a side of Sichuan fries, for under $9. They have four locations across Austin, as well as an app for ordering takeout or delivery, so you’re never too far away from a bao or three.
