Katz's is the penultimate, but 2nd Ave Deli and Ben's up in the garment district are pretty closely tied for second place! I think that Ben's slaw is better than Katz's and so is 2nd Ave's.

Now if I were in Austin TX I wouldn't be looking for corned beef in t he first place!! I'd be looking for real Texas BBQ brisket (same cut of meat) which Rudy's Garage cooks till it's fork tender and worthy of the trip.  Right up the street then you get Round Rock donuts which make KrispyKreme taste like Krispy Yuck in comparison. (and the Katz's in Austin has NO relationship whatsoever to the REAL Katz's on Houston in NYC.

Rudy's is usually laughed at around these parts, in terms of BBQ.  They truly live up to their motto " The Worst BBQ in Texas ".  Try "Artz Rib House" (S Lamar near Oltorf) or Ruby's  (Guadalupe and 29th).
