What To Do in Austin, TX...

[hammondc]

-Find a Trudys and get a stuffed avocado
-Hey Cupcake - get a cupcake with a whippet (filled with whipped cream)
-Gingerman for a good beer bar. Eat before you go. They have a lot on tap, but the food sucks
-Capitol Building?
Saltlick in driftwood if you have time (BYOB there). I think there is better Q in TX, but this one gets all the publicity.

If you are going to bother leaving the Austin city limits for BBQ you might as well do it right and go to Lockhart instead. Then pick 1, 2 or all 3 of the headliners in town that really know their BBQ.

And I agree. However, when folks come visit me, they always want to go to saltlick because it has been on every show on FoodTV. My favorite is City Market in Luling. The sausage is out of this world. Kreuz in Lockhart is a very close 2nd.

Saltlick is our family's event restaurant and a must go to every time I am in Austin. Do you like Coopers in Llano more than Saltlick? I haven't had better BBQ around Austin than Saltlick.

The Whole Foods downtown and the State House are both worth checking out. The history of Texas interactive show is quite thrill.
