My Follow Me Foodie Favourites & Best of 2012! I prefer calling it my “favourites” or most “memorable” experiences, but I’ll include “the best” just because I’m weak and want to align with every other “best of 2012″ list out there. This is a recap of my delicious 2012.

Shoal Creek Saloon is one of Austin, Texas’s oldest restaurants. It offers hearty Southern Louisiana cooking, Cajun & Creole food and “Austin’s Best Pork Chop”. Advertising “colored tv” & with dead animals on the wall, it’s a Texas experience!

Smokey Mo’s BBQ is a casual family restaurant where Austin locals go for good old fashioned Texas BBQ. It offers every kind of meat, big portions & cheap prices. On my hunt for the best beef brisket – this was my last stop.
