a

possibility. Thanks

Prime rib seasoning almost always has sugar in it.

Smoked meat seasoning almost always has sugar in it.

BBQ sauce for sure had sugar in it.

If they don't have sugar, it's probably high fructose corn syrup. Stick

with a plain steak without seasoning.

Hi Aiazeen,

I live in Austin. I don't eat out much, and when I do, I usually go for

breakfast (eggs) or

dinner (fish). I doubt you'd find SCD-safe BBQ. My favorite places for

breakfast are Kerby

Lane Cafe, where I get eggs fried in oil, plus a side of veggies, or Hyde Park

Bar and Grill,

where I also get eggs/veggies. I've gotten plain fish dinners at the South

Congress Cafe,

Asti, the Woodland, Hyde Park Bar and Grill, and Cafe Josie (where they made a

great meal

just for me because it's pricey!).

Feel free to ask more specific questions.

Here is a link to some more restaurants on a website written by a woman

in Austin. It details what in particular you can eat at these

restaurants. Matt's El Rancho and Threadgills are old Austin favorites.

Hi Aiazeen,

I live in Austin. I met a waiter who works at 's in Austin.

It is one of the best restaurants in Austin. I asked about how they

accommodate special diets. He said they are happy to accommodate

special diets and requests. Cleaning the grill or using a fresh pan

is no problem. He encouraged me to come. He said a good way to try

the restaurant is to come to happy hour where certain dishes are half

price. Here's their website:

Austin is the world headquarters of Whole Foods. The mothership of

them all is in Downtown Austin at 6th Street and Lamar. It's a fun

place to stroll through and look at all the goodies. Lots of cheeses

and fresh fruits. I can always find something that I can eat from the

prepared hot and cold foods. Usually I get grilled flank steak and

grilled veggies and fresh fruit. Prepared foods have ingredients

displayed in the case, so no guessing at what you're getting. They

also have smoked meats in this store but I don't know if they are legal.

As for barbecue, Louie Mueller's is well known in Austin for having

great barbecue. The pitmaster at Mueller's is apparently a purist and

uses only salt and pepper on the brisket. Mueller's is actually a

little north of Austin. You probably need to call ahead. They run

out of barbecue on Friday nights and the weekends. Here's their website:

You don't have to eat out to have a good time in Austin. If you like

live music, then this is your place. Austin is the " Live Music

Capitol of the World. " Probably a little overstated, but as in NYC or

LA where all the waiters are actors, in Austin the waiters are in

bands. " About.com " has a good selection of websites about Austin

music at:

Have a great time in Texas. The weather is beautiful now. Coolish at

night and 70's during the day. Hook 'em Horns!
