Lankford's?

Fantastic burger! It's been a minute since I've been there. Last time I was there, the Astros front office workers were eating there, including Drayton McLane and Hunsicker.

It was at a for real grocery store that had a pretty good sized sit-down eating area at the deli. I want to say it was Whole Foods or a Central Market...and I think it was off the West Loop in Bellaire area or maybe inner loop off 59/69. 

It was around 20+ years ago. Lots of Astros discussion was also had at these lunches. I remember being there the day after Albert Pujols launched a small spherical object into Earth's outmost atmosphere during the playoffs for a walk-off. I want to say it was off Lidge.  

There were some guys at these lunches that were plugged in with Mack.

The original was just outside of downtown and at least when I was going there (late 70s/early 80s) was more of an icehouse than grocery. I heard they opened another in Bellaire but that was long after I left the area.

Born and raised in Nashville, TN. Moved to Athens, TX for work initially in 2009 and did my Masters at UT/fell in love with the school while I was down here. Went back to Nashville for a while but just moved back to the Austin area about a year and a half ago. In Leander now. Nashville is great and will always be home but ever since I set foot in Texas, this has felt like it was where I was meant to be!

San Antonio, born and raised! I really wish we had a greater talent pool here. It's really fun when you can go see a Texas recruiting target like Michael Terry.

The one outside downtown is the only Lankfords I've been to. Outdoor seating. There was also a place called Christian's Tailgate that also made a mean burger. Not sure if that place is still around.

My ancestry is primarily German and Scots, with pinch of English and Norwegian.

 

Dad was a football coach.  I was born in San Angelo.  Lived in Sonora, Seguin, Midland and San Antonio.  Currently living in San Antonio and other than the 5 years I spent in Austin for college, this is where I call home.

Can't remember if we've had this thread at OTF so curious where everyone is from?

Childhood was in Brazoria, TX, moved to Phoenix, AZ in middle school and lived there 25 yrs until this past summer when I moved to Murfreesboro, TN.

Fun thread, texaz. Glad you started it.

Wow no kidding?! I had cousins that went to Union! And if my fam stayed in Tulsa I would’ve been in school with Josh Jacobs at Booker T 🤘🏽 918!
