[quote="ponyboy"][quote="Alaric"]for anyone who likes to cook their own burger, try using the beef from Rex's Seafood Market on Lovers (just west of Inwood). it's pasture only beef from Burgundy Pasture Beef. you can order directly from Burgundy but the minimum order is $100. Burgundy has their own slaughterhouse and dry age everything...great stuff but pretty expensive[/quote]

By "pasture only," I assume you mean grassfed. Amazingly, Grassfed beef has a nutritional profile similar to salmon and an unbelievable flavor. [url]http://www.thedietchannel.com/grass-fed-beef-benefits[/url][/quote]

Might have to try that.

Was in Austin last week before we headed to Annapolis and ate at a bar called Casino el Camino on 6th Street (between Neches and Red River). Saw it the weekend before on Diners, Drive Ins and Dives on Food Network and decided to try it out.

I had the Amarillo burger, which was 3/4 lb. patty, pepper jack cheese, roasted serrano peppers, and cilantro mayo. Outstanding! My three friends each had a different burger all were fantastic.

Also, don't miss the Verde Cheese Fries. Different from Snuffer's, but oh so wonderful to eat as well. Fresh cut fries covered in white cheese queso, fresh tomatoes, roasted garlic and fresh homemade tomatillo sauce. We ate every fry in the basket.

I will definitely go back there anytime I am in Austin.

You should go. Be prepared for a wait. Our order took 25-30 minutes, but it was worth every second. Might have been the best burger I've ever had.

Website: Casino el Camino

Make no mistake - it's a bar first (not that there's anything wrong with that). The three ladies I was with wondered where I had taken them - until the food came that is. They said it was totally worth it.

Also, TV's were showing John Carpenter's The Thing as an added bonus. LOL!

YOU WHAT!!?!?!?!?!??!??!!!?


Back before I moved here, in my pros and cons for moving to Austin, Casino el Camino was one of my pros. The Buffalo Burger is quite possibly the best burger I have ever had.

Great tip, Alaric. I've been mail ordering mine from a company called Grassland Beef out of Missouri. One other slightly off topic tip. Get New Zealand lamb from Costco. It's grassfed too and pretty damned tasty. Lamb chops are a pretty good upscale choice for tailgating. Gotta go Pinot noir instead of Bud with 'em though -- if I can keep jt from drinking all my Pinot.

Or eating the lamb. I get the frenched rack at Sam's and grill those babies to medium rare with a little salt, pepper, garlic, rosemary and lemon zest. And serve with Pinot, of course.
