"A slow-roasted rotisserie chicken might not be the first food that pops into your head after emerging from Barton Springs' 68-degree cold plunge, but don’t knock the combination until you’ve tried it. Of course, Lou’s does have more than just rotisserie chickens. There are also burgers, fried chicken, and creamy frozen custard. But rotisserie meats are our favorite thing to get here. Start with smashed cucumbers, order a hibiscus paloma, then prepare to get your fingers messy with a half chicken dipped in jalapeño chimichurri or smoked paprika piri-piri." - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs
