And if you are in Austin, for lunch only, visit
House Park.
I still miss the original
Hoffbrau here for steaks. LBJ used to visit this place - smart ... waitresses and only a verbal menu - small T-Bone or Large, with fries swimming in butter. They had an Aggie Bowling Ball on display - a red brick with three holes in it.....
The thinly cut quickly flat-top cooked steaks at the old Hoffbrau are one of the blessed memories of my youth. I'm still partial to lemon butter.
If passing thru Waco, a "Gut Pack" at Viteks', just down Speight from the 17th/18th St exit on IH35, is a worthy offspring of the Frito Pie. You'll still be burping when you pass Waxahachie.
