I've been away from Austin for about 10 years now... but I remember
Threadgills being way north of the river on North Lamar. And not having
BBQ. Still, the place has memories for me, more than the Stallion ever
did. I counted the days after the fire until the reopened... in a tent.

There was some talk about them taking over the kitchen at Scholtz
Garden, and I thought they tried to have one in south Austin, but it had
died.

So.. how many Threadgill's are there now, and where are they?

My memory is faded, but they had the second best chicken fried steak at
that time.... Virginia's near St. Ed's was the best. However, she was
80 some-odd years old, so when you went there, you'd best not be in a
hurry. Or need to use the restroom (no restrooms for customers.) I do
hope Threadgills is still OK.
