So if you're in Austin for a few days for DevOps Days ATX and want some tips on where to eat... I'm not posting locations or hours or anything, you've got a google. Be aware though a lot of places are closed on mondays.
Texas barbecue is all about the brisket. The best way to eat it is to order 'Moist outside cut' but if you don't like fatty meat go for lean. Here's some great options :
-
Rudy's - This is a local chain. If you've never eaten Texas BBQ before this is probably the place to go. It's the IBM of BBQ, nobody ever got fired for buying it. Tell them its your first time and they'll carry on like a pork chop for a few minutes to embarrass you and then proceed to give you a little of each item to taste. The creamed corn here is where its at.

Franklin BBQ - Arguably the best Texas style BBQ in the world. but is it worth a 4-5 hour wait ? Let us know if you brave the lines.
