When you head out Highway 290 towards Dripping Springs, there is now a "gathering" of train cars perched around a big lot. The one closest to the road is now home to
Winner Winner Fine Foods, which three people had mentioned to me since their opening in April. I had lunch with one of them a couple weeks ago as she doesn't live too far from there. What a great, healthy addition to the area!

| Located on the north side of Hwy 290, about a mile west of the light at Circle Drive. |
Winner Winner has built up a deck, not unlike a train platform. There are also full restrooms across from the entrance to the what is literally the diner car. All the food has been precooked, and you can either eat in or take it to go. I imagine they're doing booming business in the evening, catching folks headed out of Austin to their homes down 290. There are a variety of meats available, sides/salads, a soup of the day, and some sweets.

We ate there, with my friend E having the lamb with roast potatoes and arugula salad. While their website doesn't say, previous article on
Eater Austin says that all the meats are from local farms, the lamb from
Capra Foods and the pork from
Tender Belly.

| Roast lamb; there was some sort of minty sauce with it too, but I can't remember specifically what! |
And I had porchetta with roast carrots and also the potatoes.

| Porchetta with some nice crispy, rendered fat and perfectly roasted carrots. |

| They were both delicious! |
Winner Winner is open Monday - Saturday from 11 am - 8 pm. If I lived in that direction, I am sure I would be stopping by a lot!
