Well, it ain't in Austin, but next time you're in San Antonio, get yourself over to Little Hipps. This is an unrepentant grease pit. Last time I went I had the burger I think they call the Oinkster. 1/2 lb. of beef with 8 or 10 slices of bacon on top and any kind of cheese you want. I haven't had their fries as I prefer their excellent tater tots. If you're a grease loving carnivore, Hipps is almost worth the drive by itself. Warning: Do not order anything on the menu which has "large" in the description. The large tater tots are enough for 4 -5 people. The large burger has to have 2 lbs. of meat and is the size of a dinner plate. Try the shy poke eggs. Craig S. wrote: > > I really miss good old G&M Steakhouse #14.

Yep, the Bubble Room closed some time ago but Little Hipps is still crankin' 'em out. They're on McCullough just north of I-35 outside of downtown (8 or 10 blocks). Ugly orange steel building on the left as you're headed north. You _really_ can't miss it unless you're color blind. Regards. __________________________ Tyler Hopper "He's a High Tech Redneck"
