The venerable Cottonwood, once a favorite halfway stop, has declined, and
has seen me for the last time. I was driving a client from Austin to
Houston last November, regaling him with tales of the earthly delights
awaiting him at The Cottonwood, especially the bread. Alas, the food was
mediocre to poor and the place smelled like a long-unscrubbed bathroom.
Significantly, the once-jammed restaurant was empty. Pity. I'll miss it.
