Stepping outside of your own kitchen, you lose control of how your food is prepared. Most restaurants will give you a brief description of the dishes on their menu... but few will tell you what is actually in them. Do enough digging online, and you can find out how much MSG you choked down at a national chain... and how many more ingredients there were in their crispy french fries (aside from potatoes, oil and salt). Caveat emptor.
Having been in Austin for PaleoFX12, we decided to stop at Louis Mueller Barbecue on our way out of town. Louis' is a mere 45 minutes northeast of downtown Austin, we took "the long way" home. It was well worth the side trip.
