Barton Creek has done this one right!

Do you ever wonder if the food at high end hotels, resorts, golf clubs, and country clubs are really worth the price?  I've dined at many high end hotels where I much preferred a $5 burger than the $50 dish they served.  If you are in Austin, Texas, and would like a wonderful lunch buffet overlooking a great view, go to the Barton Creek Resort and Spa, dine at the Hill Country Dining Room, and order the Hill Country Buffet.  I honestly have no clue how much it is because this was part of a business meeting, but I'm sure it's reasonable :)

And sadly, I only have one picture of the dessert, and the best thing (their bread pudding is the most unique and wonderful ever) wasn't even photographed! 

Buffets are meant for me!

I will try to compose myself and not go on and on about the food, but the food is equally great.  The dessert bar is o.v.e.r.w.h.e.l.m.i.n.g.  (I hope the periods show the emphasis I'm trying to place on that fact.)  All of their desserts were wonderfully impeccable - from the chocolate cake to tiramisu to cheesecake to cookies.  Their bread pudding - OMG - is just incredible.  They use pastry bread instead of regular bread (so I'm told...that's how much I was in love with it).  And if you are in Austin next time, feel free to ship me some bread pudding :)
