Hoover's over a year ago, when this program aired only on 590 KLBJ radio. But this place is so good that it needs to be exposed to the TV audience as well. Alas, when he left, it all went south, as did Hoover. Well, southeast actually, to Hoover's on 2002 Manor Road, about a mile east of I-35. Hoover's is a down-home kind of joint with one very major exception from the Threadgill's of the world.
Every morsel just screams out originality and fabulous quality.
Ate there again last week with a friend. We started with the amazing Aus Tex Wings, which are soaked for a taste that's unequaled in the city. They're messy and gooey and wonderful, just the way great wings ought to be. The chicken fried steak was a classic and my New Orleans muffualleta sandwich was a delight. The flavor of this sandwich owes its origin to some mysterious recipe on loan from the Crescent City.
