Mom is something else. When the interview was done, she said “wait was that live?” Probably best that she didn’t realize that yes, it was live! A huge thank you to
FOX 7 Austin for featuring old school Austin institutions. It is how we survive & thrive!

If you need some Holiday Tamales visit tamalehouseeast.com as we will probably have to cut off December pre-orders pretty soon.
