This week in Austin food, it'll be easy to pretend we're on vacation. We can travel via taste buds to Germany, France, Eastern Europe, the Pacific Northwest, depending on how you slice it, or enjoy a casual brunch made with local ingredients.

Openings and closings

Saturn Cocktail Club, a quirky bar with casual food, imaginative cocktails, and lots of community events, announced this week that its last day would be Thursday, October 8. In a post on Instagram, the owner explained that staying viable as a business was "a constant uphill battle." The post explains that in order not to compromise the vision or lean on crowdfunding, the closure would happen almost immediately. Guests are asked to stop by in the bar's final hours to drum up as much business as possible before it shuts down. Fans can also buy a commemorative hardcover book.
