Dubbed the Carnegie Hall of Supper by locals, few restaurants had as large an impact on Austin's food and music scenes as Threadgill's. It was part music hall, art museum, and restaurant, a local gathering spot that brought together all walks of life.
One cool feature was the memorabilia that adorned the walls. On my first visit there, I remember seeing wonderful historical photographs of the city and some of its past musicians. I was also very impressed with a handwritten poem called"Mother," written by Bonnie Parker of Bonnie and Clyde fame. Chicken-fried steak in the front, compassionate poems written by violent gangsters in the back.
Austin has yet to replace the loss of this icon. Where else can talented musicians play for their supper, artists have a show, and diners walk out back to a cool makeshift Texas History Museum in a former 24-hour gas station? Nowhere!
Awesome!! I’m going to make this for Sunday dinner
