On my last day in Austin, I was trying to finish up the things I didn't get to do during the week, and one of them was to check out Easy Tiger.

This bake shop/outdoor beer garden has a bit of a split personality. Upstairs, you can get bakery items and sandwiches to go. Downstairs, you can get the full menu of housemade sausages, charcuterie boards, more sandwiches, and snacks.

Initially, I wanted to dine downstairs so I could go outside but once I got downstairs, it was pretty busy, and I wasn't sure how to get seated, so I made my way back upstairs and looked over the bakery menu.

Sandwiches would be good, I thought, so I could go find a bench somewhere and people watch. I ended up with the Smoked Turkey Breast : Pain au Levain, Avocado, Chimichurri, Radish, Roasted Jalapeño Aioli.

After finding a place to perch, I unwrapped my sandwich and side of potato salad. And, it was alright. You know, it was a turkey sandwich. It was a decent turkey sandwich, with tons of meat and some aioli. And, it was a good, utilitarian lunch. Nothing too fancy. But, that could be just perfect for a quick lunch.
