Hey Guys,
We just got back from TX and found REAL NB Bandera's at Academy in Austin!
They must have a "deep and slow" supply chain.
I just paid $298 for a defectiive Charbroil here in FL.
My saga on that "buy" is in a different thread here.
The real thing is $198 at Academy on Hwy 183 north.
I came within a "wallet reach" of buying a spare/2nd one--but could not justify it even to myself, let alone to the wifey.
They have 2 assembled Banderas on display and one in a box.
The clerk checked the computer and found 2 or 3 Banderas at all the Academy stores in Austin. Computer alleged that all of them were the real thing, not CharBroil. Time will tell on that.
So, If you want the real thing--it is still out there!
Side note- had "Rudy's BBQ" in Austin. Good stuff!!!!!!!!
