The
Driskill Hotel
I recently found myself in the heart of Texas, and
discovered a beautiful historic landmark in Austin.
The DRISKILL HOTEL, which cost $400,000 to build and
opened in 1886, was the site where Lyndon Baines Johnson
had his first breakfast date with his future wife
Lady Bird. David J. Bull, Executive Chef serves signature
dishes such as barbecued duck burrito over fiery corn
cakes, herb garlic broiled lobster tail with mushroom
lobster polenta, and he makes the best scrambled eggs
I have ever tasted. The formal, but comfortable, dining
room reeks with history and is a charming place to
dine with friends.
