#SXSW2023 on Red River 😎 see y’all out there for the final Saturday festivities! ✌️✌️✌️ #DefendRedRiver

Oh, man. Have you had a @dittydogatx? It’s not a NY-style hot dog or a Chicago dog; it’s a DittyDog! Starting out as a hot dog stand in Houston, owners Jill and JonJon made their way up to ATX and settled on the cozy corner of Red River and 7th. It quickly became a go-to for late-night eats, and people fell in love with wild flavor pairings. DittyDogs uses top-quality products, and the sauces and toppings are all made in-house. While people come for the dogs, don’t skip on the fries. The Country Boy fries won’t disappoint and definitely hit the spot after running around downtown. They offer vegetarian and vegan options, as well as catering. Make sure to support this Red River gem, and just know that “this dog will change your life.”

New merch alert! The RRCD was chosen to be a part of @SXSW’s 2023 Collaborations for a Cause! You can help support RRCD’s efforts to keep the heart of Austin's live music scene alive and well by scooping this awesome ringer tee by @catbarreraart during the fest at the Austin Convention Center OR online at ! Link is in our bio.

About the artist: Catherine Barrera is an Austin based Illustrator. Daughter of Mexican immigrants, her travels between The United States and Mexico have greatly influenced her art. Her love for anime and cartoons sparked her interest in drawing at a young age leading to painting and finally settling into the digital world of art. Her art has been used by various venues around Austin and in 2023 was nominated for best poster artist in the Austin Music Awards.
