    I'm not gonna nitpick your restaurant list, because it's your opinion and I don't give a fuck. But your "helpful notes" about Austin, c'mon man. "Expect 110°+ daily"??? That's just complete bullshit. I bet we had more days below freezing than days above 110°. I guess bullshit exaggeration annoys me.

    I created this list in summer when it feels like 110. This was honestly just a list I was sharing with close friends who were coming to Austin. I just wanted to give the idea that it is hot here.

    Let me say the list was made in a single day off the top of my head.

    no chains whatsoever should be on that list so tacodeli should be eliminated right there.   also, there is nothing noteworthy about their tacos.  i would not send anyone from out of town there.  agree with others that fonda should be on the list.  it's the quintessential mexican food joint for anyone that wants to experience austin.  you might also add enchiladas y mas, cisco's, and amaya's.

    i also am against sending people to food trucks, because well, they're food trucks.  and two of those places have brick and mortar joints anyway so why not send them there?

    you might need a high end dining section for places like clarks, bullfight, perla's, etc.  also, a small plate experience can be fun for a group, trying many dishes, so contigo could be  worth a mention.

     

    I'm a huge fan of Tacodeli personally. Always loved their tacos from when they were a small taco joint next to a laundromat.
    I'm not saying this list is a master piece or a finished product. It's just a list I give to friends coming in town who want to know where to eat when they visit.

    And right. I should add a high end list. Good idea.

  2. So... I'm gonna keep this thread going because I want more places to eat in Austin.

    I tried two different ramen places here. Michi Ramen and Ramen Tatsu and both were superb. I like the noodles better at Tatsu, but the Jungle at Michi may be one of my favorites of all time.

    Auodad are nasty.  Sitka are twitchy but taste good.  Blackbuck are some crawling bitches.  Axis will beat the shit out of your whitetail and chase them off feeders.  Asians take too much work but do yell a lot in the sack....

    I've found Axis are actually some of the most elusive motherfuckers in the world. I spent 2 years trying to get an axis and two months to track down this fella1muWeES.png

    Not pictured: The massive amount of sweat from the hunting suit I took off.

    Still pretty proud of this one.

    "For some dumb reason,  a guy from the Longhorn Reddit section of Reddit asked me to do an AMA..."

    Thanks for the shout out, @blacklab.

    Oh! Also talked about Daniel Figurelli. Here is the story I wrote where @Thujone helped me trap DFigs in a corner with his own words. That was some of the most fun I've had writing a story.

    Id be interested in moving on from Warehime to the KU coach with La. connections

    tbh, Texas should grab a coach with some LA connections. Maybe straight from the LSU staff. Getting some way of being in their state after Orgeron put up the cardboard wall would be great. I can't tell you the number of players from LA where I watch their film, think, "that guys has some insane skills," and talk to them and theyre all LSU because LSU has been on them from the get go.
    Having some one know all the coaches and have the contacts would be awesome for Texas to dip in and get another Malcolm Roach or three.

    @OnAComputer knows more, I'm sure, but Charlie Stewart is the new content manager for both the Texas and OU sides of the Braniacs sites. I think he first started posting a couple of weeks ago.

    He's the guy who basically makes sure that we have consistent content being put out that can be corroborated on many sides. Also makes sure our grammatical mistakes are kept to a minimum. Also helps us decide when to put out certain content. Dude's an organizational boss and well tied in.
