AUSTIN, Texas — Arnold Schwarzenegger did a few Texan things while visiting Austin on Wednesday.
First, barbecue. He dined at Rudy’s Country Store & Bar-B-Q out in Westlake, and was spotted by Westlake Nation, the Twitter account for Westlake Athletics.

The actor and former California governor posted an Instagram story where he commented on Rudy’s self-proclaimed “worst bar-b-q in Texas” tagline. In the video, according to Eater Austin, he says “It says ‘the worst barbecue ribs in Texas,’ but then I ate the ribs, it was the best of the best, I loved it.” He even included what looks like a custom sticker touting Rudy’s to his selfie video.
Arnold was also spotted at Allen’s Boots on South Congress.
You never know who's gonna walk in the door. The Governator, himself. Our ol' friend, Arny! He most certainly made our week. Heck, our year! pic.twitter.com/fuep34xicm

Schwarzenegger has not publicly stated why he's in Texas, but when in Texas, do as Texans do.
