Threadgill’s Closing

Threadgill’s restaurant will be closing:

Threadgill’s, the Southern-fried eatery that’s long existed as a paragon of old Austin culture, will not reopen. Founder Eddie Wilson confirmed the news to the Chronicle on Sunday. By then, he’d already begun working with an agent to sell the property at 6416 N. Lamar.

I for one will miss them, though I think Dwight will be less broken up.

I suspect that this is neither the first, nor the last, Austin restaurant to fall victim to the Wuhan Coronavirus. Feel free to list the Austin restaurants you would most like to see survive the pandemic in the comments below.
