    And this is new? No, it's not.

    In the late 70s and 80s,  a weekly snoozefest but must see tv was  ... "The Fred Akers Show."

     

    How about in the 1960s and 70s -- The Darrell Royal Show was must see TV on Sunday evenings.  In the early years he had to fly up on Sunday mornings to film the show since there were no proper production facilities in Austin.

    The jury I sat on 3 years ago awarded something like 11 million against one person.  Dude was scamming Park Place Autos (DFW).  His scheme was amazingly dumb.  I don't recall the specifics, but it was something along the lines of buying a car as a sales manager, then reselling it for profit.  But, he wouldn't deliver the car title.  Then he'd shift funds from one bank to another to cover for older debts. 

    I wish I could remember how he did it.  Suffice to say, it all caught up with him at the end ala a pyramid scheme.

    He sounds like a really swell guy:

  3. I am glad to see that this list shook some things up.  The Lockhart, Taylor, and Llano-type places have just not kept up.  I had a Coopers-Llano pork rib this weekend that I would have been embarrassed to serve at my own home.  It wasn't fully cooked or rendered and it was way too salty.  They are just not paying attention to details.

    dickies and bill miller's are top 3 for iced tea, no fucking doubt. also, bill miller tacos are damn good 

    Dickie's free soft-serve ice cream FTW.  Bill Miller's fried chicken is also worthy.  BBQ?, not so much for either chain.

     The other game changer is to pan fry the sausage first. Another poster suggested it. They were correct. 
     

    Roux made with sausage fat and lard is just about as good as it gets.

  6. Just a quick overnight out there on Saturday to deliver some equipment.  I'll spend the rest of the day screwing around with feeders and such.  Then it will be college football, bourbon and grilling steaks.  Looking forward to enjoying some low 40's temps on Sunday morning.  This is the best time of year in Texas.

    Coopers is only in business because of the name. If they were called Smith's they would have gone out of business years ago

    It isn't that difficult.  They have all of the infrastructure set up, good smoke, fully rendered meats. It just seems that they have forgotten that when it comes to barbecue rub, Black pepper > Kosher salt.

    Another one that should be off the list? Coopers in Llano.

    Agree on Coopers.  The last several times I've had brisket from there it was so oversalted as to be almost inedible.

    Very satisfied with the commitment to Carne Guisada in this thread. The official meal of Tejanos for generations. Salute, gentlemen. 

     

    Also, anybody got a recommendation in Austin? I've had Cisco's, and it was decent but the tortillas just aint' dusty enough like in SA.

    Joe's Bakery on East 7th.

    Good to meet you tonight, notwithstanding your upbringing and (alleged) education.

    Something like this 

    I have some Velcro strips like you use in a server setup that I'll bring.  They might do the trick.
