We actually ended up using the restaurant section to help us find good local places to eat. I had always thought that was dumb because the book would probably lead us to overpriced and/or overcrowded places that may or may not still be good. (For example, an Austin tour book would probably recommend places like Kirby Lane instead of places like Mangia Pizza.)
But Robin said no, no, that's exactly what these books are for. So because of that book we ended up in the Classen Grill, which promised breakfast. It was, indeed, crowded but also good.
The best thing was the juicing machine.
Too bad you can't see it in action. You just load the oranges into the top and the machine grabs one at a time, slices it, juices it, and knocks the last rind out of the way. Those little green orange holders move back and forth in a semicircle to first grab an orange, then move it to the slicer, then knock the last rind out of the way while placing the new halves over the juicer, then juicing the oranges and then starting over.
Too bad I can't draw better. This is better than I usually draw:
That juice was pretty good, too. Tasted a lot like oranges.
