    Austin resident 14 years. You hit some of the great spots! Yet, barely scratched the surface.
    Off the top of my head I would suggest Odd Duck, Mattie's, Red Ash, Wu Chow, Terry Black's, Aba, Vespaio, Gloria's, Home Slice Pizza, Perla's, Dai Due, Jeffrey's, Justine's...
    I''m an Uber driver not a food critic! So I know these spots and how they fare (no pun intended) with my passengers, locals or visitors. Who else guys?
    Oh! And if you got the Continental then also hit up C-Boys.

    Native Austinite here! Nailed it! I forget how lucky I am to live here until I see videos like this.

      Absolutely wrong!! There is nothing native on this list. This is all new sh!t. There is nothing authentic to Austin that has been here more than 4 years on this video.

    @watson457 11 дней назад +75

    This is one of the few videos of Austin that perfectly highlights what makes it great. From the BBQ, Tex-mex, Tacos, Dive Bars, Breweries, Lake Boating, Barton Springs, downtown trail hiking, and last but not least the extravagant college football games and traditions. There are so many different amazing establishments to choose from similar to the ones highlighted here, and many others that are quite unique, so you can keep coming back and experiencing something new every time too.

    Native Austinite here. I don't get out that much, but this video makes me want to venture farther than South Austin, where I live. I love that my friend Brian's restaurant, Bird Bird Biscuit, is considered one of the best. Fun fact : Brian is a wonderful violinist and is in one of my favorite Austin bands, Alpha Rev. 😊

  • @Jjinjaforreal
    @Jjinjaforreal 6 дней назад +5

    Native austinite Latina with ex-Chef parents here and Veracruz is genuinely some of the best Mexican food. The greatest Austin restaurants are always changing because greedy, disgusting realtors, brokers and private equity have completely destroyed the environment for restaurants to be able to afford to keep their doors open and cultivate community. I had the privilege of being here in the mid 2010s when the “very first” of ethnic restaurants were still operating. The first Mexican restaurant, first Korean, first Thai etc. THOSE were the best and I wish y’all could try them!!

    16:59 homey having that reaction to an ordinary 1-ton pickup towing a 16’ trailer is so hilarious to me. “Wooowww!! Look at that!!”

    I love watching your videos of places I'll likely never get to go. As a Texan, to witness your take on a place I can (and do) drive to quite often just added a level to what I already loved. I'm ready to experience Austin for the millionth time, for the first time!! Great job!

    Great video you guys nailed it! one point of clarification is that Deep Eddy is not a person, but refers to part of the river that swirls around like a whirlpool and those little swirls are called Eddys. the Colorado River that goes through Austin has a lot of those little Eddys all up and down the side of the river. You were right next to the Deep Eddy swimming pool that gets its name from one of these Eddys.

    As a North Carolinian I vividly remember my first trip to Franklin a decade ago. I kept saying "how good can it be, really?" and when we finally got to the counter and they handed us a burnt end before ordering I do think my brain exploded. It's for sure worth the pilgrimage and wait. Also, Nickel City might be my favorite bar of all time.
    Jester King would have been a cool stop but I understand it was likely not convenient. Check out Via 313 next time.

Next time hit up Dai Due for brunch, Uchi for sushi and exceptional service, and Matt's El Rancho for quintessential Austin Tex-Mex. Also, DKR stadium isn't the biggest in the country, not even the biggest in Texas: Kyle Field has it beat. Gig'em Ags!
