RESTAURANTS IN AUSTIN TRAVEL GUIDE
LOCATION: AUSTIN, TX / DATE: AUGUST 2018
It's safe to say while living in Austin, TX this summer we made it our summer goal to eat at a different restaurant every time we went out. Myself being a creature of habit, this was sometimes difficult. I'm normally the type of person once I find an amazing restaurant with great food, I keep coming back. That was the old me...;) This summer was different because Buck and I were living in a new city and were motivated to try new places. For the most part, we stuck to our rule but there were a couple of restaurants we couldn't resist. They were too amazing to experience just once, so we might have gone back two, three....maybe four times. Oh well, what can you do? See below for our Travel Guide to our top favorite restaurants in Austin Texas!
