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.

Borboleta Gourmet Living Cuisine cafe owner and chef Virginia Morgan (above) became a vegetarian at age 12, then a vegan at 15 for “moral and political reasons,” she says.
Her cafe (1221 W. Sixth St., 828-7404, www.borboletagourmet.com), which opened in May in the Bella Salon building on West Sixth Street, reflects her beliefs with food that’s vegan, kosher, gluten-free and raw, with nothing heated to more than 115 degrees Fahrenheit.
The menu changes daily but might include zucchini “pasta” with green beans and red bell peppers topped with an Alfredo sauce made from cashews and mushrooms ($10) or a parfait with berries, nondairy fruit yogurt and a housemade granola of dried fruits and nuts ($7).
The menu includes salads (a small grapefruit-fennel salad is $8), pizza (two meticulously assembled slices for $11), fair-trade coffee drinks, desserts and fresh juices, including a nonalcoholic mimosa with Brain Toniq and orange juice ($6.50).
Borboleta is open 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Mondays through Fridays, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays.
