The Central Texas pit2 here
- la Barbecue — The rub is pepper forward and runs through the meat and into some of the sides, Nicolai McCrary said you would be hard pressed to find a more beautiful piece of brisket, and the pit holds a MICHELIN Star across the 2024 and 2025 Texas guides.
- Rollin Smoke BBQ — The reviewer calls it a classic Central Texas-style brisket, thick bark, tender, plenty of smoke penetration, cut from Goodstock prime and smoked over local post oak on a Moberg.
Austin pizza2 here
- Bufalina Pizza — The Neapolitan pies come off the wood-fired oven pillowy and charred, at 9.4 and seventh in The Infatuation's 25 Best Restaurants In Austin. When that outlet praises another Austin pizzeria's crust, this is the crust it measures against.
- Palm Pizza — Thin, foldable 18-inch New York rounds and thick-crust squares sold by the slice, which The Infatuation rated 7.9 while saying plainly that at $30+ a pie it is not redefining the genre and that the crust leans more bready than chewy.
Keep Austin Weird2 here
- Parley — Cocktail people built an Irish pub, put Guinness on draft, and let the Oseyo Korean kitchen at the same address cook the food.
- Casa Bianca — The kitchen calls itself a weirdo Italian restaurant and sends clams casino out as a savory turnover with bacon jam.

Every beer here is soured on the grain, in a Modular Inoculation Unit the founder designed so the bacteria and yeast already on the malt do it the same way every time.
