@bwarbiany Did you figure out a place for dinner?  The food truck at Live Oak is decent, but not particularly "Austin-y."  I'm not that familiar with restaurants around your hotel, it's basically at the opposite end of town from where I live.

I would definitely suggest Valentina's for breakfast tacos and BBQ in general, it's really good.  It's in South Austin but not really all that close to you.  Leroy And Lewis is another BBQ trailer that's also in South Austin and a little closer to where you're staying.
Haven't yet, and the food truck appears to be closed today due to the rain. There's pretty much nobody in here. The chalkboard says the food truck runs 2-8 PM on M-F, but it's closed.

Given the rain, I'll probably find something as close to the hotel as possible.

@bwarbiany Along 71 between the brewery and the intersection of 71 and I35, is a place called Catfish Parlor that specializes in deep fried catfish, shrimp, and other southern foods.  They have some cajun offerings, as well as chicken fried steak and chicken fried chicken.  It's pretty good and a longtime Austin landmark and institution.

For anyone who is ever wondering what Penn State's Larry Johnson is up to, he's very active on twitter, ranting like an Ancient Aliens episode in his endless promotion of conspiracy theories, especially those pertaining to Satanism, Illuminati, and other world control by the global elite. 90% of his tweets relate to Satanism governing Pop Culture.

Exhibit A:

That might be perfect. Especially since I'm confined to Uber.

@bwarbiany Cool, hope you like it!  It's family-owned and operated, and I know the family, went to high school with the kids (who now operate the three locations).

Also, I'm interested in which beers you tried at LO, and what you thought of them.

Enjoy your trip!

So far the pilsner, smoked helles, and hefe.

All are clearly expertly made. Wasn't as fond of the smoked helles, but I think that's more that I need to be in the mood for smoked beer and I wasn't completely there today.

The hefe is just how I like them.

They do a lot of smoked beers.  I really like them, but you definitely have to be in the mood for it.

I warned you not to order an IPA anyway. :)  Their European styles are excellent, that's their bread and butter.

thought of Bwarb,

https://vinepair.com/articles/sous-vide-homebrewing/

Brewing equipment can be expensive, though, and many tools only have one purpose (what else are you going to put in that conical fermenter?). For this reason, upgrades to better equipment can be cost-prohibitive. One emerging method that’s catching on in the homebrewer circuit is sous vide homebrewing, which, depending on your budget, is a relatively affordable way to up your homebrewing game. It does this via the sous vide immersion circulator: a tool priced around $100 that maintains water bath temperature within extreme precision — 0.1 degrees Fahrenheit — for long periods of time.

The IPA wasn't bad. I just hate when they don't tell you a hazy is coming out. 

This restaurant is a trip. The Uber driver said "it looks like a strip club sign" lol. I've determined I like this even before tasting the food !

What You Need to Know About German Barbecue

https://www.thespruceeats.com/german-barbecue-cooking-335803

Most importantly, the Germans brought us brisket. Brisket was considered a worthless cut of meat in the United States and usually ground up for chili or stew. The old German tradition placed tough brisket in a Dutch oven to cook low and slow until tender. It wasn't until the 1950s when a couple of German butchers put a brisket in a smoker to make modern Texas Barbecue.

The great thing about ordering food in restaurants in New Braunfels and Fredericksburg is that you can get a plate of BBQ ribs, German sausage, potato salad, and baked beans without knowing which is Texan and which is German. Fredericksburg (west of Austin by 100 miles or so), used to be a German-speaking town. Now, with the exception of a few German cultural festivals, these places are all American.

Yup, heavy German influence in Fredericksburg, New Braunfels, and a few other CenTex towns.  Also, a lot of Czechs, which is we we love kolaches and klobasnek so much.
