Rudy’s
The thing my wife and kids wanted me to bring back from Austin? Rudy’s barbecue. Yes, the meat, not the sauce. They equipped me with a cooler bag, Ziploc bags to pack into it with ice, and orders for the brisket, the turkey, and of course, sausage links.
Last night I went by there as soon as I could, right after dinner. I was 40 minutes too late–they were closed.
This morning, my flight from Austin to San Diego is at 10:30am. It is 7:52 right now. I am checking out, driving up to Rudy’s in hopes that I can actually buy the regular meats when they open for breakfast at 8:30, then driving down to the airport. If they can’t sell me the meats, I intend to beg.

Haha. I know how that is. Ever since I moved to LA from Dallas I have missed the mexican food in Texas. I hope (for your family) that you get the meat.
