Banger's Executive Lunch; Bob's Opens Downtown

RAINEY STREET — Beer gardens: great for drinking in with all your friends, and also great for escaping to after a crappy morning at work. The brand new Banger's Sausage House & Beer Garden has launched their "executive lunch" special: "any traditional/veggie sausage, any side and any Texas beer on draft for $8." [Eaterwire]

NORTH — For three long years, Austinites have been living the horror that is the Saladworks delay at the Northcross Mall shopping center. Finally, the nightmare is over. [ABJ]

DOWNTOWN — Get your pleated slacks ready, because power lunches downtown just got a little more powerful: Bob's Steak & Chop House has opened at 301 Lavaca Street. [Austin360]
