The Food We Ate

My recap of our southern experience would be utterly incomplete if I didn't give some serious attention to the food.

How much did we eat?

Well, I had a recurring nightmare for several days after coming home about having to step onto a scale.  If that's any indicator.

So today you get sharing of a different sort.  I'm sharing where you must eat in Austin & San Antonio. Because we are experts now.

Number 1 : P. Terry's 

Definitely the closest thing you'll find to In 'N' Out.  Seating is outside, and there's a sandbox to entertain the kids!

Number 2: Hula Hut

Best dinner ever! Hombre and I split this sampler tray (that was about the size of a large pizza pan) and every single thing on it was amazing.

Number 3: The Salt Lick

Most thrilling bar-b-que experience I've ever had.  Great food. Great atmosphere.

And you can't leave without having the blackberry cobbler.

Seriously. There are no words to describe the satisfaction of this dessert.  

Number 4: The OASIS Restaurant

Honestly, the food here was not anything to jump up and down about….but it was worth it just to see the view.

Number 5: Hey Cupcake

This is the one we can't stop taking about.  

These cupcakes are perfection.  If you ever go, have the carrot cake. Trust me.

Nothing else on the trip made us all smile at the same time like these cupcakes!

Number 6: Rudy's

Another hot spot for bar-b-q…totally different from the Salt Lick.  But very good.

Number 7: Freddy's Frozen Custard and Steakburgers

I never thought a fast food burger place could really top In 'N' Out, but this place did it.  

Number 8: Acenar

Delicious Tex-Mex and super sophisticated atmosphere overlooking the Riverwalk.  Just watch out for bees! 

And Number 9: Romeo's

For our last meal in Austin we went italian.  It was a fun change.

So now you know where to get all of the best food and you also know why my clothes are a bit snug.
