is there a nanog austin eats page somewhere? i lost my old link to some wiki we used to use.
and, a completely unverified recco from an austin friend (who thinks chicken fried steak is the meat nearest heaven).
I spoke to my colleague who has lived in Austin more recently than I have.
He recommends North By Northwest highly, in the Arboretum area.
When I was a Texan in exile, I would always, on returning, worship at the shrine of Chicken Fried Steak. Threadgill's is a timeless classic that specializes in it. Ken Threadgill was an Austin legend, who gave Janis Joplin one of her first paying gigs. Bonus: Manager Eddie Wilson was the Ranch Boss at the Armadillo World Headquarters, and has a shrine of posters and pictures from the font of Austin weirdness.
He also recommends Urbanspoon as an online info source.
