Before I went to Austin last year, I made an effort to find great restaurants. It's a good sign that both that I found through customer reviews and loved are on the Bib Gourmand list: Franklin Barbecue and Cuantos Tacos.
A travel tip that I just picked up from a friend. I've recently started to get more organized to have great food experiences when I travel. Michelin has a special designation called Bib Gourmand for restaurants that are value for money. Interested to give it a try. guide.michelin.com/us/en

Although I'd love to eat at a Michelin-starred restaurant sometime, I also wonder if it would be a bit high falutin' for me. I grew up on Midwestern comfort food. I did do a short stint working as a temp in five star hotels some years ago. Some of the food was a bit strange for me. 😆
