Work trip to Austin

I guess he mentioned it because it’s walking distance. But what does an Uber from the Marriot to L&L cost? Can’t be more than $10, right?

Uber is ridiculously expensive in Austin compared to other cities. I can hire a black car service to the airport for about 10 bucks more than a shitty Prius Uber that will probably cancel the ride when they’re 5 minutes from my house.

I haven't been to Iron Works in I don't know how long...15+ years?  Is it actually a legit option?  I haven't been because it was terrible the last time I went, and not much better the times previous.  Never have understood how it's still open, other than preying on unsuspecting tourists/conventioneers.

 

It is not. They're still doing mediocre bbq on their best days and as you mentioned in your experience above it just isn't good (that hasn't changed since your last visit). I get that Cooper's isn't an all-time great and it is popular to shit on it (and I also agree with the salty comment), but it is immensely better than what Iron Works puts out.

More to the point, and the reason I mentioned it, is that it is ~100ft from the conference location.

This.  Just get the pork chop at Cooper's and enjoy it.

Get the brisket and strawberry preserve biscuit at Briscuits (Radio Coffee). Trust me.

I'd eat that.
