Austin Food Diary: A No-Hype Eater’s Weeklong Adventure! 🌄🍖（1）

🌮Austin’s food scene never sleeps—and neither does this foodie’s quest for flavor! 🌴 Here’s the honest, unfiltered rundown of a week spent chasing bites from BBQ pits to sushi counters! 🍖 TEXAS BBQ: SMOKE, SALT & SURPRISES Terry’s Black BBQ: The tourist-magnet post-Franklin/Interstellar hype! 🚗 As a self-proclaimed “meh” meat-eater, I wasn’t blown away—but it’s iconic for a reason! 💸 The $60+ beef rib? Massive, smoky, and salty—worth a photo, not a repeat. Brisket’s heavy smoke? Bold, but the MVP? Crispy-tender green beans! 🌶️ Stiles Switch BBQ: Cedar Park’s local gem! 🏡 Friendlier prices, juicy ham/turkey, and free fixings (bread, pickles, onions) to build DIY sandwiches! 🥪 Perfect when red meat feels heavy! 🌮 TEX-MEX: SPICY, SAUCY & SENTIMENTAL Matt’s El Rancho: A 70-year-old institution still packed daily! 🏨 Nachos with house-made salsa? Fiery and addictive! Tacos and sizzling fajitas? Tender, charred, and drenched in flavor—staff faves for a reason! 🌮 #AustinFoodie #TexasEats #FoodDiaries #TravelBites 🏝
