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.

Starting Monday (Sept. 28) and running through Oct. 2, Lone Star foodies can celebrate the state’s bounty and benefit local food banks with the Go Texan Restaurant Round-Up put together by the state Department of Agriculture.
During that five-day stretch, more than 200 restaurants across the state will showcase Texas wines and special dishes made with Texas produce, seafood and meat.
In Austin, participating restaurants include the Kerbey Lane Cafe locations, Trio at the Four Seasons, Roaring Fork and Eddie V’s. At Carmelo’s Ristorante (504 E. Fifth St., 477-7497, www.carmelosrestaurant.com), a three-course dinner for $35 will include among its options Hill Country venison osso buco and tiramisu with local berries, and bottles of Texas wine will be $25.
Opal Divine’s will fill its three restaurants’ taps with dozens of Texas beers for $2.50 a pint.
Full list of restaurants at www.gotexanrestaurantroundup.com.
