    The lead car in a protected left who is staring at their phone when they get a green arrow gets a "thousand and one" count before I hit my horn. I'm amazed at the number of people who sit behind those idots and don't blare the horn and just wait for them to finally look up. I'm looking at your Walsh Tarlton and Bee Cave.

    Even though the WB isn't open yet, the cluster fucking has begun. The stacking for Cane's is now wrapped around the inline Jack Brown Cleaners/Thunderclouds space all the way down to Summermoon. Meaning cars that are parked at Thundercloud are blocked in. Good thing there's plenty of space in front of the new St. Bernards. Morons are also trying to turn left (to go south on Walsh Tarlton) out of the center from in front of the Jack Browns.

    Texas BBQ

    ftf82 replied to Washpark's topic in Food and Travel

    Texas Country Reporter just did a segment on Barbecue Inn in Houston (Heights area). Fried Chicken looks really good. How is the BBQ?

    Taco Mayo in OK had a Taco Burger in the 80s that was both a taco and a hamburger. And it was every bit as good as that sounds smothered in hot sauce.

    If Dogs are included, then Sausage Wraps should be included. In particular, the Sausage Wrap served at Frank Erwin Center after downing 5 or 6 Bud Lights.

    Well, that or 1"-2" blanco, guero.

    Spec's at Brodie makes a damn good Reuben, In fact, Spec's deli is a little bit of an undiscovered gem.

    I just ate a jalapeno cheeseburger sandwich at Crown & Anchor with two (2) Electric Jellyfish. Motion to reconsider.

    if we're just nominating our favorite sandwiches, then I submit the Del Rancho Steak Sandwich Supreme.

    My now deceased Mom was affectionately known as Grandma Sandwich to our kids and their friends, because that's all that she would offer to make them for lunch when she watched them. When I was growing up, more often than not she made this on white bread with Miracle Whip. And gave the rind to our dacshunds. I would still kill for one today, but my wife does the shopping generally and refuses to buy it.

    Club sandwich from any old school country club.

    Anyone tried the Dart Bowl Enchiladas at El Dorado and, if so, are they comparable to the original? Also, fwiw, the burgers at Big Lebowski at Highland Lanes are not close to the jalapeno cheeseburgers at Dart Bowl, so I'm betting that they're not (Big Lebowski uses sweet Hawaiian buns, which doesn't work for me).

    Tex Mex

    ftf82 replied to blacklab's topic in Austin

    My current go to in Austin is Casa Garcias on Wm Cannon, but mainly because my wife loves their soup. If I’m up for a drive I’ll go down to the original Texican on Manchaca. And there’s never a wait at Santa Rita. I don’t think either of these places are as good as joints in San Antonio or Houston (or El Paso or Santa Fe for Sw Amex) but they’re pretty damn good.

    Tex Mex

    ftf82 replied to blacklab's topic in Austin

    Julie's Cocina in Cottonwood Shores is very good gringo Tex Mex. El Rancho in Burnet and Alfredos in Kingsland are legit!

    Used to be a Rio Grande restaurant in the aughts where Vince Young Steakhouse is now and it did slam and go hard. That's all I got.

    Looks like from google search that was actually filmed at the old Centennial liquor store next to El Patio.
  19. ftf82
    No. That's the old Ballard's. I'm talking about the liquor store where Mitch buys a six pack to take back to the Emporium.
  20. ftf82
    Correct. And I'm not 100% sure but pretty confident it was the store where Mitch bought a six pack in Dazed and Confused.

    Two frozen margaritas with floaters at Lupe are your answer

    I had a slice at Favorite Pizza today for lunch next to Sammies. Walked back to my office down the Shoal Creek trail behind the new Whole Foods building between 6th and 5th. It was quiet. Too quiet.

    Canyon Cafe. My wife remembered it. It was really good. And yeah the HEB was originally an Albertsons. HEB took it over when all the Albertsons blew out in the late 90s/early aughts. I don't think there's ever been a Kroger in Austin.
  24. ftf82
    When the HEB center first opened (may have still been an Albertsons) the UFCU was a New Mexican style restaurant that was really good. Same problem that other restaurants in that area have though (e.g., Biedermans, whatever the place was before the take out Cava) in that the parking sucks and the location is hidden way in the back. We tried the new Lee's the other day and it was really good, but pretty pricey for what it is. And I didn't realize the Polvos Barton Creek was open. Their webpage still shows it as Coming Soon. We'll go there (my wife loves their shrimp veracruz). But we used to go there when it was the movie theater that was sliding down the hill into the Mopac r-o-w.

    Yeah I was just making a joke about sitting in Flower Child with no shame eating a double, double while WL housewives dine on salads, quinoa and cauliflower rissoto. If you're looking for a place to eat outside just drive down to Rollingwood Park or the far west side of Zilker across from the clubhouse entrance.
