All other forms of entertainment considered, going out to eat is the one ticket everybody buys, whether it's fast-food cheap seats, big-steak luxury boxes or the chicken-fried arena seating in-between. Let American-Statesman and austin360.com restaurant critic
Mike Sutter be your all-access guide to the Central Texas dining-out scene.
In more than two decades at the Statesman, Mike's been a copy editor, Sunday editor, Page 1 designer and, for the past 14 years, XL art director. But after more than 700 XL covers, nine XL Dining Guides, managing the hundreds of listings in our restaurant database and writing stories about doughnuts, Vietnam and the Incredible Hulk, he'll finally be able to put his nine years of fancy restaurant job experience (thank you, drive through) to good use. This means he can write about trailer tacos on South Lamar, $250 anniversary dinners at Hudson's, smoking a cigar with Michael Moriarty at Louie's 106, brewing his own Anderson's Coffee stout beer and freeloading at kids-eat-free nights all over town.
Go out and sample what Mike Sutter recommends in his Great Dishes Gowalla trip.

For six windy, dry, rainy, balmy and frigid nights, I prowled downtown in search of street food for a SXSW report coming this Wednesday in the American-Statesman’s Food & Life section. Here’s a preview from Kebabalicious.
Kebabalicious
A trailer at Seventh and Trinity Streets. 468-1065, www.austinkebab.com.
Chris Childre and Kristian Ulloa opened their kebab and falafel stand two and a half years ago, turning it into an after-11 p.m. destination for Turkish-style spit-roasted lamb, beef and chicken.
Through the heart of the SXSW Music Festival (March 17-21), they’ll be open day and night. How good is their food? Steve Cohn from Stony’s Pizza across the street came running over. “I ran out of pizza. I’m hungry,” he says, turning to me. “Best kebabs I’ve had in my entire life.”
I had the falafel — fried globes of spiced garbanzo beans wrapped in pita, dressed with lettuce, tomato, tzatziki sauce and jalapeno hummus (8-inch size, $5). Hot, crisp, fresh. Best street food of the entire night.

Question about your experience at Kababalicious. Could you please find out what the sauces are? Is one a garlic-yogurt? What is in the spicy one? I am trying to duplicate these at home. Do they make it on-site or purchase at a Turkish grocery? Do they cook meats on a vertical spit? Is the lamb spit just lamb only or does it contain some hamburger meat in it? Thanks so much. Mimi
