    Those" baked" beans you were eating were Pinto beans and nobody bakes them in Texas. Many if not most Texas homes were never without a pot of beans on the back burner in the kitchen. They are a staple in a traditional Texas diet. I've got to say I appreciate the accuracy and perception of your review of the masterpiece Beef rib and the smoky brisket. You nailed it. Come back soon.

    I live in Austin and if i had a day and some out of town guests, I'd hit pretty much the same spots. Im over Torchy's personally, and I havent found good mexican food here, but if theyve never had a texmex taco, Torchy's or Velvet Taco is a good go-to. I'd pick Houston over Austin for the food scene. But the Broken Spoke, Capitol building, and Terry Black's are all on my must see list for visitors.
    I'd recommend Franklin's for bbq next, Round Rock doughnuts, and a visit to Mt. Bonnell on your next trip.

    Bbq is plentiful in Austin, but it is not a cheap meal. Even fast food BBQ such as Bill Miller and Rudy's, 2 people will be lucky to get out of either place for less than $20 and no tip for some pretty good Texas bbq. It's not love, but it's not bad, and both are consistently good; whereas there many bbq places in Austin often have very good bbq, but they are not consistently good. Lots of hits and misses. Most bbq places in Austin, for 2 people, 2 plates including meat, 2 sides, drinks, and desert, expect to spend close to $30, not including the tip.

    • @AdventuresofMattandNat

      Yea, we can barely get out of any fast food place for less than $20 these days! And you’re right, bbq in general isn’t a cheap meal. The beef rib alone at Terry Black’s was $56! Lol… I think we ended up just shy of $100 for that meal.😳 Great food though! I just couldn’t afford to eat there regularly if we lived there! Lol… What are some other bbq spots you would recommend?

    @allencaruthers867 3 місяці тому

    I understand why he gave you the bone on that rib, but since it fell off before plating and you were giving him advertising he should’ve left it off. That contributed a good chunk to the weight/cost.

    Austin was great until it got so popular and so many people moved there. I lived there for most of the 90's and it was fun. I would not live there now. Too overcrowded and the infrastructure did not keep up. Too many non-Texans. Okay too many Californians and New Yorkers, etc. I love the greenbelts when I lived there. Best city for natural areas and I live in the Pacific Northwest now.

    LBJ isn't very popular to me because prior to signing The Civil Rights Act of 1964, he exclaimed ". . . . I'll have those n***erst voting democratic for the next 200 years. . . ." I didn't like it when I heard about it 40 years ago and still don't like it. Of all the things and people out of the great state of Texas, regardless of being president, he is the worst, in my opinion.
