Forklore
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.

When Apple Annies cafe lost its lease in a bank tower on West Sixth Street last year, owners Love Nance and Sherry Jameson lost little time leasing kitchen space to keep their catering operation going.
On Monday (June 1), they’re set to return downtown in style with a mid-priced, full-service restaurant called Annies, featuring farm-to-table cooking from Mark Schmidt — the former chef-owner of Cafe 909 in Marble Falls — and longtime Annies chef Tony Amplo.
For several weeks, Annies (319 Congress Ave. 472-1884, www.appleanniescatering.com) will be open for breakfast and lunch daily from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., leading to a full-scale reopening on June 20, with dinner, full bar service, late-night hours, sidewalk seating and a Sunday brunch.
Breakfast choices will include brioche French toast, cage-free eggs and housemade jams and pastries. Lunch will range from Annies renowned tomato-brie soup to a dozen salads, plus a grill to handle more substantial main courses.
After June 20, hours will be 7 a.m. to midnight Mondays through Wednesdays, 7 a.m. to 2 a.m. Thursdays and Fridays, 8 a.m. to 2 a.m. Saturdays and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sundays.

I can’t wait! This is the best news for downtown Austin in a long time. We’ve missed you, (Apple) Annies!

What great news. The only way Apple Annies could have gotten better was to be open so we can go there for dinner or on weekends. Congratulations on the new location and hurry!

With Mark Schmidt’s cooking one cannot go wrong. I really loved Cafe 909 and was sad when it closed. Looking forward to eating at Annies.
