Fixer Upper’s Magnolia Market in Waco. This is now Waco’s most famous thing to do and see. Other than Baylor university and that other thing with the FBI, a long time ago. Anyways . . . The famous HDTV show with the Gaines, this place is a huge Mecca for home stuff. They have cafes, a bakery, food trucks, stores, and a really tasty Alabama sweet tea. I recommend checking this place out. Only an hour away from Austin. . . . . .
Smoked pork belly and waffles. Probably the best thing I had in Austin this time around. Bouldin Acres is the stereotypical Austin joint with outdoor seating, music, and food trucks. But today was but hotter than comfortable. Anyways . . . Good times and great to hand with old and new friends. . . . . . . .
Texas BBQ from Stiles Switch in Austin Texas. We ordered smoked beef brisket, pork ribs, sausage, Mac and cheese, and cole slaw. Yummy. When I lived in Austin, Stiles Switch was one of my favorites. They were ranked as one of the top 50 bbq joints in Texas. Fun weekend with some friends. . . . . . . .
First attempt at making Snow’s BBQ famous pork steak. It taste really good, but it was way too tender. I was looking for a texture that was had some solid chew or mouth feel. Not something you could e
Missed those breakfast tacos from Austin. Luckily we have we had the Pecos (shredded brisket and egg) and the Guadalupe (chorizo and egg). Also we had the traditional migas and queso & chips. Though the taste is reminiscent of the sizes were incomparably smaller. I liked the pecos breakfast tacos. Remember to get there early on weekends.
and decadent Texas tea chess pie
Beef Brisket was good but the spicy sausage was even better. Pull pork and pork ribs were ok. I like the cabbage slaw and button mushrooms. Blantons was tasty
Didn't know brunch was serious in , pastrami hash, and Bloody Mary were yummy
Great Breakfast Tacos
Lucysfriedchick, Austin at Lucysfriedchick in Austin.
Dinner with family at (I love this name!). we had a Triple Fried Duck Fat Fries, Truffled Deviled Eggs, Brussels Sprout Caesar Salad, Bacon & Gruyere Roasted Bone Marrow, and Candied Pork Belly
Breakfast tacos at
Tasty pork ribs - must order. Beef brisket was also great - nice thick cut with good bark. Chicarron Mac and cheese - good also. I liked the red cabbage cole slaw. Wish we got here earlier to have the, Saturday only, beef rib.
Made a trek to Lockhart, BBQ Capital of Texas. Had the smoked ham, BBQ pork chop, sausage, beef rib, and of course brisket. I like the ham and sausage more than the others. Went on Saturday with only a 40 min wait.
my co-worker was right - best breakfast tacos!!! The real deal Holyfield taco With a side of brisket and pork ribs! !
Soft serve ice cream Fluffer Nutter and Caramelized Banana Split
The BBQ from Texas Monthly 2017 my friend says the moist brisket is better than Snows and Valentina's. I think they are very close. We had to also get some .
almost 3 hour wait. Texas Monthly BBQ 2017!!! Had the most amazing and tender and moist (fatty) pork shoulder steak. Brisket was wonderful. Pork ribs was so-so. Jalapeño Sausage was outstanding
Austin's cookie delivery. . Snicker doodle, chocolate chip, peanut butter, oatmeal chocolate chip, and chocolate chip peanut butter!
Japanese "Texan" izakaya Tako sunomono was my favorite - the octopus was more tender than usual Japanese restaurants. The fried rice ball, street corn, soft shell crab, Hot Pocketz (with Gouda cheese and brisket) are recommended. No need to order the Tamale (sticky rice with beef tongue) and chicken meat ball - both ok, nothing to write home about.
we had the hibiscus donut, the maple, and the Homer Simpson. Can you guess which one is which?
pork belly, chicken karage, and fried beets was great as was the spicy chicken karage (Thai style). The beets had good texture and subtle flavor. Could do without the aioli. Too many ants on the picnic table.
the Detroiter and Cadillac pizza. The detroiter - pepperoni and the Cadillac- prosciutto with balsamic vinegar. Cadillac was better than expected
farm to table quite possibly the best gourmet I've ever had. The the texture of the corn tostada, the sponge-ness of the buns, and the creaminess of the sauce was awesome. . Please note this burger is only served at lunch M-F.
One of Texas Monthly's top 50 BBQ 2017 - . Outstanding Beef Ribs, spicy sausage, corn casserole, and coleslaw. The mustard was great with the sausage. But the brisket was a bit dry and the baby back ribs were adequate.
The holy land
Texas Toast, smoked octopus, beef brisket, beans, homemade root beer
