Regular 197   Tempe, AZ |  Subject: Never been to TX-doing Austin this weekendHey Texas Peeps....I am traveling from AZ this weekend to race in Austin 70.3. I have never been to TX so was hoping to see if any of you recommend some good places to eat in Austin, preferably BBQ. Where would you go after a race in Austin if you could only pick one place? Also...I am driving to Dallas on Monday to see a friend. I am a Cowboys fan and would love to know of a few good bars to watch cowboys games. Any advice appreciated! Thanks |

Thanks Well, if you were going to Houston I could hook you up for sure, maybe even San Antonio, but I know nothing of Dallas or Austin as far as food goes. My friend JackieP, a member here is from Austin, currently in Florida on business, but I'm sure she would be more then happy to point you in the right direction. I will post a link to another thread and see if we can get her here. |

I volunteered on the bike course for that race a couple of years ago. #1 Franklin BBQ (be prepared to wait in line, sometimes 5 hours long) #2 Salt Lick (quite a drive out of town, but worth it) You didn't ask, but I love Torchy's Tacos. Great for breakfast and also lunch or dinner. Multiple locations. Dallas is a big place. What part of Dallas will you be visiting? I have a couple of friends that live in different parts and I'm sure I could get an answer on that one too. |

| Deep in the Heart of Texas | Subject: RE: Never been to TX-doing Austin this weekend Just remember that BBQ joints in Texas actually run out of meat. I know Franklin's runs out and I assume J. Mueller runs out as well. By the time you finish the race, the best places may be out of que. Salt Lick is a good choice and doesn't run out, but it is BYOB - so if you like a beer with your BBQ, you'd better pick it up on the way. |
