Most golfers who try to live up to the legend of Austin native Morris Williams, Jr. will fall short. The storied golfer got his hands on every trophy within his reach, from the Texas Junior Championship trophy to the National Air Force Trophy—the second of which was eventually renamed in his honor. Today his legacy lives on near Elan East at his namesake Morris Williams Golf Course in Austin.

Designed by famed golf course architect Leon Howard in 1964, Morris Williams Golf Course was only the third public course in Austin. Although the course looks a bit different today thanks to a recent renovation (check out the new clubhouse and cart "barn"), Morris Williams Golf Course still showcases rolling greens with contoured hills. Call to reserve a tee time at this popular Austin course, which was once the home of the University of Texas golf teams.

Even when the Austin Daily Press only existed as a food truck, it was already making waves nationwide. The flagship food truck participated as a contestant on the Food Network's The Great Food Truck Race. Its brick-and-mortar location on MLK Boulevard still serves up the same creative sandwiches that won it fans across the country after its stint on the reality show.

According to regulars, the Pineapple Express is well worth a taste. This sandwich is actually a Mexican-style torta, meaning it comes on a Telera roll with veggies pickled in-house and a medley of herbs. The Pineapple Express is layered with roasted chicken and Black Forest ham, a pineapple-ginger chutney, cheese, and spicy ranch dressing. The Lucy torta is another popular option, this one stuffed with lemongrass-braised pork, aioli and sriracha sauce, sweet and hot pickles, onion, cilantro, and cooling mint. However, Austin Daily Press also serves paninis, traditional deli-style sandwiches, and sliders.

If you'd like to try this Austin eatery for yourself, it's just a short trip away from Elan East.
