Austin, TX
Food Scene
Infamous for its long lines but everything is definitely top notch. In my humble opinion the brisket is the best in our great state of Texas. If you have a large group, highly recommend ordering in advance for pick up to avoid waiting. Online orders open 42 days in advance with a minimum order of 5 pounds of meat (perfect for groups of 8-10).

Hip spot for creative ramen bowls. Aside from the always reliable Tonkatsu, my favorite is the flavor-packed Tsukemen (dipping noodles that is rarely found at other ramen shops).

You cannot come to Austin and not get bomb tacos! Skip Torchy's and go directly to Veracruz--2 minutes from our East Austin home. My personal favorites are the migas tacos with a nice crunch from the tortilla chips and grilled steak tacos.
