a sausage man, and a watermelon man walk into a biergarten...
sausage man:
we enjoyed a mid week diversion and checked out a hot new eatery for austin restaurant week, banger's.
banger's specializes in house made sausages. all the ones we tried were really, really good.
and they have 104 beer taps (one hundred four!)
a huge outdoor beer garden (biergarten). but the weather was so nice, the outdoor tables were full at 6.45 on a wednesday. we sat inside.
two beers tested and approved of, 102 to go.
the biggest problem of sitting inside was the noise. it got really really loud in there.
the daughter tried one of the vegetarian sausages. the smoked mushroom and asparagus sausage was great!
my fried chicken sausage with green horseradish sauce was good and very different. the greens and biscuit that came with it were also good.
our austin restaurant week package came with a flight of beer that was specific to each sausage ordered. FUN! the only negative was the server. he screwed up more than once. at first, I excused his errors with the loud room, maybe he just couldn't hear us. then it became clear he was just forgetting things. I'd love to go back, but I'd like to sit outside where there is less noise.
watermelon man:
#1 son played piano for his school during the friday morning assembly. he had selected a song by herbie hancock, watermelon man.
#2 son was happy to be able to attend the assembly and sit next to his talented big brother.
