nutsandboltons - In N Out - Round Rock, TX - SH50

I've been waiting for these guys to get here for a long time.  When they finally opened, it was two weeks before the queue was short enough to justify the wait.  Double-double animal style with animal-style fries.  The fries themselves were a bit disappointing - I don't think they changed the oil from the previous day.  the burger was exactly what I was looking for, though.  7/10.

nutsandboltons - Gourdoughs Public House - Austin - SH49

Chili burger on a donut bun?  Sign me up!  The chips are pretty good, but really kind of unnecessary.  The burger is big enough to stand on its own.  Actually, it's a bit too big, so I'm docking a point.  The chili's solid, though, and the burger's good.  The donut bun is a lot more subdued and bread-like than I was expecting, which is a good thing.  A sweet glazed donut would have ruined the experience.  7/10.

nutsandboltons - Austin Ale House - Austin - SH28

Burger was pretty good.  Fries were just ok.  Service was sub-par.  5/10

Biliruben - Dan's - ATX - #50

7 / 10

Name: Large Cheeseburger
Toppings: LTOC(A)Mu
Patty: 1/3 med. well
Taste: The patty is seasoned nicely and the buns toasted and buttered. Definitely not one to miss. But more importantly, it's number 50 and I'm done!

Slow Ride - on on to 2014 with fish and booze

Hi, folks, thanks for your indulgences while I did the kebabs-instead-of-burgers.  Next year, I'm doing two on my own (one: fish and chips at least every 7 days and two: a different adult beverage every day...could be one of the thousands of ales, or a cocktail, a wine, but it has to be unique each day).

It has been fun, these last two years.  Feel free to stop by for a visit if you find yourselves near Swindon (floor space if you want to crash for a night) or Oxford (to see what a modern chemistry lab looks like in a University that predates Columbus' voyage by 300+ years.  And, we can go for a bit of a pub crawl while you're there.

Anyways, adios bitches.  Stay in touch.
