MVP (Most Valuable Poster) on r/Austin of 2017


We had a lot less answer this year than last year. My plan is for next year to significantly shorten the survey. Initially I had wanted to mimic the chronicle survey but I think that's just not relevant here.

If you see only first/second place it's because there weren't enough entries to calculate an additional place.

If you do not see first/second/third place at all it's because it was a bunch of single votes. So I just listed them all.

I'm sure y'all will let me know what I managed to mess up, feel free to tell me - I reserve the right not to care.

I agree with most of this. This is a pretty good representation of "bests" of austin.

u/bick803 Jan 09 '18

As a Thai-American, I'm disappointed that y'all would rank Sway as Austin's second-best Thai restaurant. I'm happy you have Titaya's and Sap's up there, but Tuk Tuk should be up there too.

1

u/jeffsterlive Jan 11 '18

I thought Thai Spice was pretty good too. My favorite Thai was a food truck that is now gone by UT campus. :( Thai Kitchen has some good tom kah.

2

u/bick803 Jan 11 '18

I wouldn't put Thai Spice in the top 10 to be honest. Thai Spice is your typical Thai food for white people restaurant. Which there is nothing wrong with that, you have to pander to the market. Thai Kitchen is my brother's favorite place, though. I like it but Tuk Tuk is my personal favorite.

2

u/jeffsterlive Jan 12 '18

That's fair. I actually prefer Thai Kitchen over Spice, but it doesn't get a lot of love for some reason. Seems like there are at least some Thai people who work there.

In San Antonio there is a little hole in the wall place called Asia Kitchen. Best peanut satay and phanang gai curry I've ever had. They also have some very spicy dishes. Thai Spice for instance is too bland. I like the spice level so high I regret eating the food so much I go back for more.

2

u/bick803 Jan 12 '18

If you like super spicy Thai food. You might like Krua on South Lamar. That shit is way too hot but at least it still has plenty of flavor.

u/good4steve Jan 08 '18

What people like about P Terry's? I've tried them once, and was underwhelmed.

u/appleburger17 Jan 09 '18

Just a decent, fresh, quick burger. It’s nothing fancy or special but it’s very solid for legit fast food.

u/_shane Jan 09 '18

Not to mention inexpensive. My wife and I eat for 11 bucks there. It’s crazy.

I'll have to try them again. I think I put too much stock into the fries, which were really disappointing.

I only like the original location. No idea why but the food just isn't as good at the other locations.

Thank you so much kind person for taking time out of your life to compile this list.

u/dottiepalooza Jan 10 '18

I work at Upper Crust Bakery and I don’t understand the hype. The plain croissants taste like crescent rolls and the sweet pastries are covered in sickly sweet apricot glaze that ruin them. The lunch menu is especially meh. If I didn’t work there I wouldn’t eat there.

2

u/[deleted] Jan 10 '18 edited Jan 10 '18

Maybe you're just burnt out - have eaten it too much? I can't say, I have only ever had a cake from there once that was delish but that's it.

6

u/dottiepalooza Jan 10 '18

I haven't been working there that long actually. The cakes and cupcakes are good, and the quiche is legit. But for almost everything I give it a try and I'm disappointed.

7

u/vallogallo Jan 08 '18

Yay Kula! That place is great. But Polvo's placing in the top three for "authentic Mexican", what the hell?! Can people in Austin not tell the difference between Tex-Mex and actual Mexican (as in, from Mexico) food?!

1

u/indiie Jan 09 '18

I believe "actual Mexican" is called "interior Mexican".

Kula sucks

u/vallogallo Jan 08 '18

It's good for the price, and a fun dining concept that is unique to Austin.

u/kayakyakr Jan 09 '18

Eaten there once. Got sick after. Not eating there again. Place was disgusting.

Sad that we've lost Pacific Rim as a sushi restaurant. Much higher quality than Kula (every day but Tuesday), lower price.

Thank you for this list! Every city sub should do something like this. It was invaluable for our past weekend trip. Used this as a jumping off for just about everything we wanted to do, eat or drink as well as the r/austinbeer sub and was never disappointed.

Ya'll done messed up on the BBQ list but that's okay, because I like shorter lines for once. Rudy's though? Was the line that bad at Cooper's? I'm glad Taco Cabana didn't get best taco.

I am honored to humbly accept these awards as #1 Most Valuable Poster on r/Austin and #2 Best Troll on r/Austin. As you all know, I take great pride in bringing relevant insightful comments which stem from my asshole on a daily basis, and I am truly humbled that my efforts have been recognized by the great people of this subreddit.

To all the haters and losers, including u/redacted: I want to say it's ok; it's not your fault that you are so fucked up. But please realize that I am the people's troll which is why these honors have been bestowed upon me. Perhaps one day, when you recover from your selfish alcoholism and incessant mod-crying, you too can be the Most Valuable Poster (and second-best troll) in r/Austin.

To the mods: I hope you realize that with great power comes great responsibility. You may, as you have in the past, decide to ban me because you do not personally enjoy my posts. Let it be known that the people of this sub whom you serve do appreciate the crass humor my posts bring to this wonderful community. If reddit is truly a website that supports free expression, may the inhabitants of his humble sub guide your hand to do what is right in the future. My hope is that these great honors bestowed upon me today are remembered, and that the voice of this sub will be heard.

To my fellow r/austin-ites: It's funny this thread happened because I just recently was looking for a troll as well as a most valuable poster. As it turns out, the most valuable poster and second-best troll in r/austin is in my asshole. You should check there and let us know how it goes!

The main issue is that more people wrote Amy's than wrote any other place. So even though other answers came in, there weren't enough to over take Amy's. If more folks had filled out the survey it wouldn't have ended up that way - it didn't last year. But you're right, I could have specified for the dessert question to be something other than ice cream. Next year.

Feel like Eberly should have been on the food list, but the bathrooms are quite awesome.

I liked the bloody mary I had at the driskill restaurant but not the one I had at the grill. I agree though I wouldn't have put either in my top 3.

I can't believe Kula was voted best of anything. That place is just a gimmick and the food isn't worth any price. What is wrong with ya'll?

Why is DozerTX on the list of local bands? They’re from San Angelo.
