Since Austin is going through a Trailer Cuisine / Roach Coach craze it occurred to me to make the most of the trend on one of my properties. Well, it went better than I could have hoped for -here is a link to a news item about the Old School BBQ and Grill.<br>

When I met Dan and Albert for the first time on the site (from my Craigslist advert) they told me about the converted school bus that was to become the Old School BBQ and Grill. Here is what my memory tells me (as accurate as Wikipedia):
The bbq/hamburger school bus is a 1991 model they bought in Kentucky and drove to San Marcos for conversion. It has a full kitchen, built to better than commercial kitchen standards, and a BBQ SMOKER. The smoker is sectioned off from the hamburger kitchen. $7 gets you a gourmet hamburger and fries that knocks the competition outta the park. You should hear Dan describe the experience. He is a longtime chef and food snob. I asked him if he could smoke brisket and drive 55 down I35. He said, “not a good plan.” So we have a sensible tenant as well!
I can’t wait to get over there, sit on the benches under the trees by the creek (just two miles from downtown) and chow down on this amazing sounding fare.
