Jody and I met Sab this morning for brunch at Austin’s Diner, formerly Laura’s Bluebonnet Kitchen over on Burnet Road near the Arby’s. It was a great, cheap breakfast, and the hipster element was in full bloom: bedhead, vintage t-shirts, and tattoos everywhere. They had the place decorated nicely with old appliances and dishes. One wall had old chrome toasters hanging on the wall and there was a rolling pin hanging near the cash register.
The food was great. I had biscuits and sausage gravy with a sausage, potato, and egg breakfast taco on the side. All topped off with a cup of diner-style coffee; watery and acidic but I cut it with copious amounts of sugar and cream from the silver flappy cup. Ting.
Everything was nice and peppery, just like homemade. I had some of Jody’s homefries which she reported as tasting just like the ones her grandpa used to cook up, buttery and not cooked too much or too little. Everything was served on diner china from many different patterns.
The best part? The price. All this tasty food set us back to the tune of eighteen bucks for three people. It’s the flea’s eyebrows.
