Hello from Arizona!
I'm being sent for work to Austin for two weeks, and I've never been there before. What are some must-visit places / restaurants that I should visit while I'm there? Thanks in advance |

Seriously, what food you looking for? You can find good stuff for anything but seafood. Try the Texas Chili Parlor in the 1400 blk of Lavaca downtown. |

Thanks in advance Austin in NO way represents Texas any longer.

Thanks a bunch for the replies! I'll probably be busy most weeknights, but I'll have the whole weekend to myself, so it helps to have an idea of what's around.
I love just about every kind of food, but especially barbecue and (real) chili, so getting some actually from Texas is kind of a priority! Quoted:

If those places aren't especially far, I bet they'd be fun to visit. |
