Over dinner last night, Lawrence brought up a couple of questions. It occurred to me that these might be interesting for open discussion. So, question #1: what type or style of food is missing in Austin?
Some thoughts:
- There’s no German food within the Austin city limits. I mean, I like Walburg, but let’s face it, that’s a bit of drive from most of Austin.
- No Afghan food, as far as I know.
- No Himalayan food, either.
- And no Serbia-Croation/Bosnian places, either, which makes observing Gavrilo Princip Day tough: I don’t think I can talk people into driving to Houston.
- There are plenty of Japanese places of one sort or another, but there’s probably at least one style of Japanese cooking we’re missing.
- ETA: Austin has plenty of Italian places, but we don’t have what I’d call a “spaghetti house”, like The Old Spaghetti Factory in Boise (now sadly closed, and yes, I know they are a chain) or The Old Spaghetti Warehouse. That’s another post…
- We don’t have any kind of Polynesian or tiki place. Of course, that’s not unusual: even the Trader Vic’s in Dallas has been closed for years.
That’s all I can remember from our conversation. I’m sure Lawrence can add some more. Any thoughts from our readers?

Have y’all tried Das Cafe or Nuernberg Brauhaus in Pflugerville? Not Austin citiy limits but closer than Walberg.
Haven’t tried Das Cafe. Did try Nuernberg Brauhaus in Pflugerville, but I understand it is closed now.
