The Austin Chronicle is an independent, locally owned and operated alternative newsweekly that reflects the heart and soul of Austin, Texas.
Garbo’s offers a delightfully unserious Texan take on Maine classics. They’re famous for their lobster rolls (with either butter or mayo, satisfying both camps), but the lobster grilled cheese might be the best thing on the menu, the sweet lobster balanced out by rich cheddar and smoked Gouda, smokier bacon, and the echoing sweetness of cherry tomatoes. There is tomato soup on the side to dip it in. Yes, please.
