The Royale with Cheese is an excellent burger.

I last had In-N-Out 11 years ago in SF. Always remembered how good it was.

We were in Dallas last weekend and happened to stop into an In-N-Out, and boy, it did not live up to my memories. Nasty fries, worse milkshakes and a ho-hum burger. After having all the great burgers in Austin (P. Terry's especially), there's no need to drive to RR to get this.

I wouldn't cross the street to get In-N-Out again.

I love their Central Market frozen pizzas from Italy. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find anything but bare shelves where the Quattro Formaggio and Mozzarella pizzas should be. Checked 3-4 HEBs and Central Market but they've been gone for a month now.

Way South Philly. End thread.

Just tried Way South Philly. Amazing! Highly recommended if you need a good cheesesteak fix.

East Side King and The Texas Cuban.

Yes, awesome pho at T&N! I get take out there once a week.

Whip In has very good samosas.

All in all a great event, BUT:

Portions are way too big. I want to sample as much as I can, but paying $6-7 for a giant helping is ridiculous. Most vendors offered a $2-3 "sample" size of one thing, but ALL the things on their menus should be half the size and cost $2-3. Even with sharing with my wife we were full after 2 trailers. Also, be a bit more descriptive in your menu items on the top of your trailer. I don't want to stand in a long line just because everyone has to ask you what the "Original" is.

Beer selection was kind of weak as well, even in the craft beer section. I don't consider Shock Top a craft beer.

Sounds like a lot of complaining, but we had a great time.

Haven't tried it, but Lux Bakery on Wm Cannon has them. Chocolate or pumpkin. http://luxbakeryandcafe.com/menu.cfm

Found it today. Ms. P's Electric Cock ( http://www.electriccock.com/ ). Amazing sides as well. Try the purple cabbage and gorgonzola slaw. It's in a trailer on South Congress.

BTW, I found Top Notch's chicken to be just OK. Crispy but very greasy. Left me feeling kind of sick.

Jack Allen's has some pretty damn good CFS.

I tried one of their concrete's the other day. Pretty good! I was unaware of the Culvers, I'll give that a go soon. I'm kind of a custard fanatic. Hard to find good custard away from the midwest and northeast.

Also, there's no reason to eat the food at Freddy's as there's a P. Terry's across the street!

Freddy's Frozen Custard and Steakburgers chain set to open soon on Wm Cannon near Costco. Anyone tried this chain? I'm looking forward to the "concrete" custards.

Best fried chicken at the Highball, huh? I love that place. Very cool drink menu, too.

Doesn't Mellow Mushroom have a whole wheat crust?

Can't go wrong with that, especially dipping the crust in their esperanza sauce...

I found this googling around: http://www.yelp.com/biz/hyridge-groce...

Anybody ever been to Hyridge Grocery? I may have to check it out. That's the kind of place I'm talking about...it wouldn't be a soda-only store, usually a cool little neighborhood grocery where the owner has a passion for sodas.

Anyone know which market/store/bodega whatever that has the best variety of cane sugar sodas? I know I can get Mexican Coke, Sprite, Dr Pepper and Pepsi just about anywhere, but I'm looking for a store that might carry dozens if not hundreds, similar to http://thesodagallery.com/index.shtml in Dallas.

BTW, I'm moving to Austin next week!

Laphroaig Quarter Cask gets my vote.

I don't know how to pronounce it, but I sure love drinking it.

If you have an ABC liquor in your area, it's on sale through Dec. 31 for $18.99! If you even moderately enjoy whiskey, It's a must buy at that price.
