Austin, TX.
We ate at a nice place called Truluck's last night. I think it's BBQ tonight.
This is a cool city.
I like Austin, too. Did you get out to Lockhart, TX to eat at Smitty's? | | www.roguefood.com -- www.cellartracker.com | |

| Ok...so I'm Phoenix and the food at the hotel leaves something to be desired. We're out near the airport and the hotel shuttle will drive us within a 5 mile radius of the hotel. They recommended Bill Johnson's Steakhouse. So we go expecting a pretty decent place. What we got was...well...have you ever seen the episode of FRASIER where Martin take Frasier and Niles to the Timbermill? Well, I felt like Frasier and Niles.  | | | |

| | Brent, ask to go to Los Dos Molinos. Very good mexican food (can be a bit spicy, but if you like hot stuff they can give it to you). | | | |

I'm packing up tonight, flying tomorrow. | | Cheers, y'all | |

No. We went to Dona Emilia's Brazilian Cantina (or whatever it's called) right by the convention center. Had a Texas Rib Eye in cilantro-butter. OMFG. | | Visit The Butcher Block at http://www.butcherblocktampa.com/ | |

No can do. I'm having dinner at the White House tonight. That would be the White House in Pacific Grove (Robert Kincaid's restaurant since he moved from Carmel). | | Joe ----- Wine is like potato chips around me...if it's open, it's gone. | |
