I've been to the 1604 location a few times and the private event menu was serviceable, but I wouldn't make a special trip.
I probably could have eaten my weight in "Shrimp Paesano" back when they were on McCullough -- right next to the original Biga. Good eats on that street.

any specific recommendations for Italian in SA? open to go basically wherever and not too worried about price as long as it's awesome.
It's been a while since I've been there, but isn't Paesano's still one of the best places in SA for Italian?

The Mexican guys at work say Bill Miller actually has good carne guisada.
Unless you would prefer to have the fried chicken, which Surly says to be excellent.

I didn't know the decedent, but know folks that were involved in the events directly preceding this murder -- there was another murder and there is still a body yet to be found:

I have mixed emotions about recommending Mi Tierra. The chips and salsa are very good. Their enchiladas are pretty good, but there are most likely better options.
Mi Tierra has great menudo 24/7 I never miss the chance to drop by there.

An underrated Italian gem was Stelline's in north Austin.
Agree on Stelline's. That was chef Harvey Harris' first foray into having his own restaurant after spending time at Mezzaluna and prior to that in Houston (Maybe Damian's?).
He's been the chef at Sienna forever. I like Sienna a bunch.

I mentioned this a few years ago when I saw the report, could obviously be a very different environment these days. But that store at 45th & Lamar, that was one of the Top 10 Chili's in all of North America in terms of gross receipts. Meaning, not only were people skipping over dozens of great restaurants within a few miles radius of that place, but when they went in.....they were spending serious money. That just blows my mind. To pick Chili's and then spend $50/person. Having said that, I've spent $50 at airport Chili's. The myth that paces like Chili's and Applebee's are affordable spots for working class families is just ridiculous.
As for best Austin restaurant, it's not possible to name. We are fortunate to have so many superlative restaurants covering almost every cuisine and type and taste. We've also lost a number of great restaurants over the last 5 years or so. But based on crowd size/wait time---Olive Garden on South Lamar still reigns supreme.
An authentic Austin vibe:

Any recs for a really good “this is what Austin is all about” place for tomorrow? One that doesn’t include a 2 hour wait in line like Franklins?
Texas Chili Parlor, Scholz's, Dirty Martins, El Patio, Matt's, Terry Black's, Juan in a Million -- I'm old school.

Looking for a rec on a place to stop and grab lunch on 290 somewhere between Houston and Austin this coming Friday. Was initially thinking BBQ but maybe instead a place with barbacoa, brisket tacos...etc.
It's been a while since I've been there, but Zimmerhanzel's in Smithville has been known to make some decent 'cue. Give us a report wherever you go.
Ban user. I focused on the "between Austin and Houston" part, but missed the 290 part!

Are there any good Chinese food restaurants near Anderson Ln?

That sucks about Ranch 616. Texas Chili Parlor!

Mamma's is good, but maybe a bit overrated. I love Merriman's and Roy's, with great stores all over Hawaii. Paia Fish Market, which also has multiple locations, is pretty solid. Enjoy the ride.

I took some clients from France to Ranch 616 and they couldn't believe how big and thick the lamb chops were. They showed me pics of the tiny lamb chops they'd had earlier that week in Paris.

Other classics that I take out of state people to are Texas Chili Parlor, Scholtz's, Ranch 616, Matt's, and Dirty Martin's.

As much as I don't like the food there, the County Line on the Hill is perfect for such an event. Margaritas out on the patio with a great view. Huge beef ribs. Memorable for out of towners.

And the electricity required to charge this plane's batteries comes from a plant powered by what sort of magical source?

This storm is about to witness the firepower of the fully armed and operational Austin Forcefield.
IDK about that. No rain yet, but the big winds just arrived at our country place near Liberty Hill.

Congrats on expanding my "ignore user" list.
Asian
in Austin
Posted
Hadn't heard about Hao Q closing, though I read that the new place at that location planned to keep some of the old menu and add some Filipino influences to the new menu.
Pho Saigon in the Asian shopping center on North Lamar is my current favorite in Austin. Phonatic on Anderson Lane is passable. Good luck.
