Hello feline, hello funtime…

By way of Lawrence: Hello Kitty Warhammer 40K miniatures. (Lawrence says he found those while searching for this, which I think came from a FARK Photoshop thread.)

The Texas Monthly “Eat My Words” web log provides a handy list of the burgers covered in their “50 Best Burgers In Texas” article. (The full article is subscriber-only.)

You may ask yourself, how many of the Austin burger places has the SDC been to? Well…

“2. Counter Cafe, Austin, Counter Burger”. Not yet.
12. Cover 3, Austin, Chop-House Burger (with cheese and bacon)“. Not yet; we were actually kind of turned off by Cover 3, as it looks like a high-end (read: expensive) sports bar, which went in one of the SDC Spots Of The Damned. But we could get motivated to try the burger. (Edited to add: we finally got motivated to try the burger. Link goes to review.)
“14. Burger Tex II, Austin, Burgogi Burger”. Been to Burger Tex, were not all that impressed, but did not have the burgogi burger. Lawrence seems unenthusiastic about the prospect of a return visit, so I may have to go on my own. I admit I’m curious.
“16. Max’s Wine Dive, Austin and Houston, Kobe Beef Burger”. Not yet; Max’s Wine Dive is fairly new, and we haven’t scheduled it.
“26. Parkside, Austin, Cheeseburger”. Not yet.
“27. Black Sheep Lodge, Austin, Black Buffalo Burger”. Not yet.
“30. Roaring Fork, Austin, Half Ass Burger (also in San Antonio)”. Been to the Roaring Fork, like it, but have not tried the burger.
“37. Mighty Fine, Austin, Hamburger”. Yes.

Also on the list, but outside of Austin:
“3. Alamo Springs Cafe, Fredericksburg, Cheeseburger (with green chiles on a jalapeno-cheese bun)”. Somewhat off the usual path for us, but not out of the question.
“29. Mel’s Country Cafe, Tomball, Double Hamburger”. I think Lawrence has actually been here.
“38. Roadhouse, Bastrop, Jalapeno Cream Cheese Burger”. See #3.
