Earlier this month, I spent a weekend in Austin, Texas attending SXSWi, and of course, eating. Here's a quick report of some the restaurants I visited. Enjoy!

Iron Works Barbecue
100 Red River St
Austin, TX 78701
(512) 478-4855
* Styles of barbecue vary widely, but Central Texas barbecue tradition is heavily influenced by the influx of German and Czech settlers in the late 19th century and their tradition of sausage and smoked meats. Beef brisket figures prominently in Texas barbecue -- I, however, threw caution to the wind and opted for the Jr. rib plate at The Iron Works, conveniently located around the corner from the Austin Convention Center. It was a tasty mess, just like I like it.
