Ben's Long Branch BBQ - Austin, TEXAS

Hotel San Jose - Austin,TEXAS
First Thursday, how could I have forgotten! Parking was a bear; I ended up getting a ticket, parking next to a stop sign. Ouch…another $20 donation to the city. Once we arrived at the Hotel San Jose things got a lot better. Senora Foodblog went straight for the Prosecco (Italian bubbly)...
