Any places with good cornbread?
Does anyone know a place in Austin that has real cornbread? (And please don't say Threadgill's because I've already been disappointed in them.) All the places I've tried make it like cake - they use what tastes like a mixture of cake flour and fine-ground corn meal, and put so much sugar in it that it's more like a corn-scented cupcake. Since I moved here, every place where I've tried the cornbread, you can't put butter on it because it falls apart if you breathe on it too hard. That may be what you're supposed to get with a souffle but for cornbread it just doesn't cut the mustard.
What I would REALLY like is to find a place that serves what I know as hoecake - the thin, hard type of cornbread.

Mesa Ranch makes a very good jalapeno cornbread with very addictive garlic butter on the side.
