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.

Tiffany Youngren (above) laughs about the cliche of a couple from Washington state coming to Texas and opening a coffee stand. But that’s what she and her husband, Duane, did shortly after moving to Oak Hill a year ago.
The second location of their bright little coffee-and-smoothie outpost called Austin Brevita opened in June at 1219 S. Lamar Blvd. near the Genie Car Wash. The original opened in February in Dripping Springs.
Youngren says the Austin culture is similar to their home city of Mt. Vernon, north of Seattle, but the weather is actually better.
The South Austin shop, with drive-through windows and picnic tables, sells coffee drinks (try the Americano, an alternative to drip coffee with espresso and hot water starting at $1.40) hot or iced, along with “Frozen X-Plosions” from $2.80 to $6.30 made with coffee or juices, including an acai-pomegranate-blueberry blend.
There are also kolaches from Moonlight Bakery and a special Dilettante dark chocolate mocha. Open 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mondays through Fridays, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturdays. 440-7500, www.austinbrevita.com.
