March 25, 20232 yr Wife and I are headed to Austin tomorrow from Dallas for some boot shopping. We haven’t been to Austin for years. Looking for recommendations for lunch. We’re pretty much down for any style but we can get good bbq and mexican in Dallas. A patio would be great (RIP Shady Grove).
March 25, 20232 yr Author We live a few miles north of Addison. Loro opened a location in Addison. Wife said “that’s the place I wanted to go to last weekend”. So, Loro is a no-go for the Austin trip.
March 25, 20232 yr See if you can score Nido. Also, just saw pics from a friend who went to Otopia at the rooftop bar. Edited March 25, 20232 yr by texasdago
March 25, 20232 yr Author The lunch menu at Nido doesn’t really entice me. I suspect the view of the city is really nice though.
March 25, 20232 yr Perlas for the patio is hard to beat. I also really like Salt Traders but there is no patio.

Flame away South Texans that don't like it because it's not as good as their abuela's taqueria in the Valley. Please go have at least a beer at Dirty Martin's. It feels like they're on borrowed time. Chili burger still slams.
March 25, 20232 yr Author We picked up some boots at heritage on south congress and got tired of dealing with the masses. we headed over to matt’s for lunch before heading back up to Dallas. Thanks to everyone for the recommendations!

Thanks to everyone for the recommendations! Biggest UT fan I’ve ever met went to Matt’s after every home game. He bought me more dinners than I can count. RIP Rusty. I hope you’re up there throwing the ball around with James Street and Bobby Layne.

But we both work from home, and it’s good to have a reason to leave the house. My wife is VP of sales for an enterprise software company. The end of quarter is damn stressful for her. I thought a day trip to give her a mental break from her office would be healthy. We’re on a boot kick right now. We both saw a pair we liked from a boutique boot co. called Heritage on south congress. I like to try on boots to get the right fit; each brand has its own subtleties. Regardless, we both scored, and had a great day in the process. Again, thanks to all. The surl never disappoints. Edited March 26, 20232 yr by GenXer

March 26, 20232 yr Matt's. Meh. Hit up the soft opening of Uptown Sports Club today. Very legit. Aaron Franklin was there - very cool guy. Kitchen is already on point.
