Flo's
photograph byJohn Anderson The redoubtable Flo Williams is no slouch in the home cooking department herself. Hungry folks have been searching out her phantom cooking trailer at one destination or another in East Austin since 1979. Great news, Flo fans: Since early this year, she's been firing up the stove in a small storefront on East 11th, just past the intersection where it makes a "Y" with Rosewood. No more al fresco or in-car dining; there are long rows of tables and chairs. The muggy day when I finally found Flo's most recent incarnation, there was no air conditioning, but the sweltering heat was offset somewhat by the sweet strains of piano music supplied by a family friend.
