If your around Austin I could throw some suggestions out there. It seems like every other girl I take out has some weird thing with food so I know the restaurant scene pretty well.Quote:

I am legitimately, at all times, considering making the 3 hour drive just to get Your Mom's Burgers from Austin.
I feel 'Mighty Fine' > Your moms burger barQuote:

Z Tejas is ok. Dated a girl that worked there for 2 years. I hit up 'Jack Allens Kitchen' a few times a week. He was partners with the guy that owns Z Tejas and made his own gig a little north of Austin. Best sloppy joe (Sloppy jack) ever and their 'Chicken fried ribs'... Yeah.. I also die for their quesadilla. Jack is an asshole and I love his lack of 'give-a-fuck' in all matters of personal interaction. Toby and Carolyn are the best bar tenders ever. Melissa is ok and the other guy is too. (I dont even care to know his name but he will get you DRUNK). Toby even threw me some vadge one time when I was too drunk to spit game with his badass wing-man ability's. (everything is grown local/all natural btw and I cant not mention their egg enchilada)
BB Rovers... Worth checking out. Crazy good sausage breakfast burger, Crazy good Queso, and about 300 beers on the menu. My brother-in-laws dad tried to buy this place but its run by a few brothers that dont do it for the money. It may have been decorated by a crack head but damn they have good food.. Its all local home grown goodness. You cant go wrong here. Note that they are way under staffed.. And they want it that way? Bad management..
Avoid Papa Sitos's. Good local grown food but its like they made a crack den classy. You can suffer 50$ plates for very bad service in a 2$ chair
Dont forget 'Kens taco stand' off Breaker lane.. Super huge tacos real cheap and all natural.. Not much to say about that other than I think they slip crack in their tacos.. I am feanding right now..
I know theres that rule about supporting business and such but I feel this post fits. If not let me know.
If you venture into south Texas I have 2 places that you will die for. Mentioning my name could get you a free meal as well.. I buy in bulk when at the rig : )
Just some suggestions. My boy lives in Dallas and swears by a BBQ spot and my military buddy lives in Houston and has a huge list of people he says are good but that idiot has no taste..
-Edit
If you do hit me up. 6th street can be a very fun place if you know when to show up and where the drunk UT girls end their night. You dont even have to try.Quote:

p terrys > your mothers
Damn, dude. Sounds like you know your stuff. I'll have to try those places. I'll admit most of my restaurant knowledge in Austin is limited to what's on/around the drag, since I'm a UT student and spend most of my time around there since it's convenient. I'll be moving back up to Austin in a few days.Quote:

A lot of my friends in Austin swear by P. Terry's, but I have yet to try it. I'll have to do that this year. Have you actually tried Your Mom's, or are you just so enamored with P. Terry's that you just assume it's better? lolQuote:

yea ive been to both, your moms has good gourmet burgers, but pterrys has a better tasting burger patty. pterrys is all organic and a double cheeseburger is only 3.45, menu is small tho

There use to be a Thai noodle place that was crazy good on the drag. Not sure if its still there..Quote:
