Yo Austin

What's up Texans? I'm gonna be out there November 26 until 28. I'm going to meet with a professor at UT on the 27th, but the rest of the time (not that there's gonna be so much of it) it's just gonna be me and my pappy chilling. Any recommendations on vegetarian food, and not to be missed stuff would be appreciated.

    Hey bro, do a search on a post MediumDude did just a weekend or so ago. Tons of Austin knowledge dropped in there. I know vegetarian places exist in abundance in town but I wouldn't know them. As far as digs: Friends of Sound, End of an Ear, Antone's, Waterloo, Backspin and Sound on Sound are all worth peeping. Good luck and have fun!

    Hell yeah! That's what I'm talkin about. I can sllip into a little bit of a chicken lapse, but my dad is strict vegetarian, thus all of the Mexican spots in the other thread were enticing, but I'd be weary of bringing my dad to any. Thanks for input.

    most of the good restaurants in austin (except BBQ) have at least decent veggie options, too. So some of the mexican places really do have some options with cheese or veggie enchiladas/tacos, etc.

    but that list in this thread is probably more than enough to keep you busy.

    I was a vegetarian for 12 years, then about 3 years ago I returned to the dark side. I still eat a lot of vegetarian food though.

    True, but I am a bit skeptical of the more authentic Mexican spots because they usually wild out with meat stock, or lard. My dad can't do any of it.

    Authentic Mexican will have lard. Tex-Mex you'll have better luck with.

    I'd recommend Trudy's migas enchiladas with refried black beans. I'm a big fan of their Mexican Martini's also.

    I just ate at Manuelle's last night (3rd and Congress) last night. That was some good Mexican food, with many vegetarian options.

    Seems like just about every place in town will have some sort of vegetarian options.

    on a tangent...

    what's up with ceviche in texas (maybe this is strictly a tex-mex thing) being served w/ ketchup?

    that is straight up nasty... i had it once in Austin shortly after landing there in '05 and i had to throw it in le garbage.

    ceviche is delicious though!

    I wouldn't call those fish sandwiches at Burger King ceviche J/K

    Where did you get ketchup with ceviche though?

    They put it in cocktail sauce... which to me, tastes pretty much like cheap ketchup. I'm not that big on ceviche myself though but it seems fairly popular here.

    Cocktail sauce is for oysters and shrimp and it's typically made of ketchup, horseradish, and lemon juice.

    Ceviche is sometimes blended with some sort of pico de gallo, but ketchup or cocktail sauce???

    I'm still eager to hear who mixes such a bizarre concoction.
