Austin's In-Town Attractions and Easy Day Trips

03 Go on a food tour of Austin

An Austin food tour is a mouthwatering prospect that runs the gamut from humble food trucks to bougie eating places. A food tour will give you a taste of barbecue styles from all over the state. The one common factor? Beef reigns supreme. Franklin Barbecue knows how to slow-cook meat, and Lambert's is all about the punch of flavor. The Chi'lantro truck does a Korean version with kimchi fries and bulgogi. Regarding fine dining, Austinites have it good with boundary-pushing chefs like sushi master Tyson Cole and James Beard-acknowledged baker Mariela Camacho of Comadre Panadería. Try the Mexican restaurant La Condesa while you're in town.
