Threadgill’s

My brother-in-law lives in Austin and I remember many years ago when we were there with him we went to Threadgill’s and he told me the history of it and Janis.

I do not know if it is still there but he said,

“Come here a minute because I have to show you something …” 

In one of the backrooms was a portrait and there was a sheet over it. He picked it up and it was a portrait of Janis in a pretty revealing see-through top –   it was just beautiful.

I imagine the picture was covered up at the time because it was being advertised just like home cooking in a family restaurant. 

I have no idea where it is now in the restaurant or even if it’s still there. Great food by the way!!!
