Here Comes The Beef…

Surprise!

Austin is getting yet another BBQ place. I do love meat, so I am not displeased about Cooper’s coming to town.  I’ve been to the New Braunfels location and I love their food. I’m not a BBQ snob as I like variety in flavor, technique, etc… but I loathe fatty BBQ. I’ve been told a lot of taste and moisture comes from fat. When I’ve dined at Cooper’s they do a great job of trimming the fat so you’re paying for mostly meat – of which I am very thankful for.

Cooper’s is opening right next to the new JW Marriott, a wall apart from La Pena. Curiously, I find it peculiar that yet another Starbucks is going into the JW, when there is Caffe Medici across the street, Houndstooth a block away, another Starbucks in the W Hotel, and two more on congress (6th and 9th). Everyone is to be properly over-caffeinated downtown, no doubt.

I peeked into the building and it appears this location my have a bar-like atmosphere.

We shall see.
