Dua Lipa: Forget the Stage, Austin BBQ is the Real Show

Last weekend, Dua Lipa didn't just rock ACL, she devoured Austin — literally! When she wasn't belting out tunes, the global superstar was chowing down at local spots.

Dua Lipa Invents 'Pickle-Jalapeno Diet Coke,' Internet Loses It

At Austin's La Barbecue, Dua Lipa shared a unique drink recipe in a viral video. She mixed Diet Coke, pickle juice, and jalapeño juice, and the internet lapped it up. Even Gordon Ramsey tried it, and, well, he wasn't a fan.

"Dua Lipa, for God's sake, girl!" Ramsey spat. "You'll ruin your vocal cords!"

Apparently, Gordon didn't stir it properly. Typical lefty mistake.

La Barbecue owner Ali Clem said Dua was "super nice," ordering everything family-style. "Picking sides were big for them... The shells and cheese did not stand a chance,” Clem told Eater Austin.

Este: The Seafood Fiesta

Before Saturday’s performance, Dua Lipa hit up Mexican seafood spot Este. Her group was "so nice," says chef Ale Kuri, and Dua loved the camarones "El Ricas."

Maybe she should stick to singing and not drink mixology, huh?

Broken Spoke: Honky-Tonk Heaven

After her set, Dua two-stepped at the Broken Spoke. She shared clips, captioning them "HONKY TONK HEAVEN." In one, she's dancing with a guy; in another, she’s belting out "Your Man" by Josh Turner in a Strait-shrined bathroom.

Imagine explaining to your kids why you were dancing with Dua Lipa in a bathroom. Conservative dreams, am I right?

Dua Lipa’s Austin adventure continues this Saturday at ACL Weekend 2.
