For a fun, interactive twist on your typical sushi dinner, head to Kura Revolving Sushi Bar. Upon sitting down, you’ll have a conveyor belt to one side, where you can pluck whichever plate piques your interest, or a screen that allows you to order plates a la carte. You’ll pay by the plate, which tends to be less than a few dollars each, and win prizes if you hit the right milestones.

The Mexican sandwiches are served on a bolillo bun with toppings including avocado, barbacoa, queso fresco, refried beans, cheese, pickles and salsa.

You can take your chicken Kyiv to-to at new takeout-only restaurant U-Cuisine, 5610 N. I-35, which opened in mid-June. Ukrainian chefs and owners Alla Shelest and Mariana Shelestiuk said they are trying to bring a taste of their home country amidst a difficult time in history. Try the chicken Kyiv, a dill and parsley-stuffed chicken breast rolled in breadcrumbs; borsch, a burgundy beetroot soup; Holubtsi, beef and pork cabbage rolls; and lviv syrnyk, a chocolatey raisin cheesecake.

Quinn Ewers is the Texas Longhorns’ newest starting quarterback.

Coach Steve Sarkisian announced the decision on Friday after saying he had a “pretty good idea” of who it would be earlier this week.

Sarkisian picked Ewers, who was up against sophomore Hudson Card for the starting position, after evaluating both players during spring practice and for two weeks of preseason practice.

Ewers transferred to UT during the offseason after spending his freshman season at Ohio State University.

The new quarterback was the class of 2022’s highest-ranked recruit in Southlake Carroll, DFW area. He later reclassified to the class of 2021 and graduated early.

The Austin City Council adopted a $5 billion budget for the 2022-2023 fiscal year.

The budget includes a range of investments and directions that will be applied to rental assistance, fire and EMS stations, police cadet academies and more.

With the fiscal year beginning Oct. 1, City Manager Spencer Cronk said the budget puts the city in a strong position to recruit and retain staff.

“It does this while reducing the City’s portion of the annual property tax bill for the typical homeowner and investing in public safety, disaster response, and actions to address climate change,” Cronk said.

The general fund budget is $1.3 billion with almost two-thirds of it allocated to public safety and the remaining funds will go toward court services, animal services, family health services, and management of libraries and parks.

A few big ticket items in the budget include:

With Austin’s status as the live music capital of the world, there are some investments geared toward that like $27 million for cultural arts, historic preservation and live music as well as a $2.5 million investment in the Iconic Venue Fund, which helps preserve places of cultural significance.

After two days of deliberations, council also made some amendments in light of recent events such as lifeguard shortages and the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision overturning Roe v Wade. Their additions include:

As for the impact this will have on taxpayers, the city noted rates and fees, including electricity, trash service and the transportation user fee will rise for typical ratepayers. This is in response to escalating operations costs and increasing service demands brought by population growth.

The typical taxpayer can expect a nearly 4% increase—equivalent to an additional $14.14 per month.
