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.

The Austin360 Dining Guide will hit the Web and the paper on Friday, Nov. 6. Here’s a preview from the 25 Great Dishes section of the guide, gleaned from more than 175 places I’ve visited in my first year as the American-Statesman’s restaurant critic.
A lot has been made of how actress and Austin regular Sandra Bullock is the money person behind this century-old stagecoach depot, restored and repurposed as a bakery, florist, coffeehouse and deli.
But you can’t slice fame and make a sandwich. You can, however, slice a big handful of lean pastrami and put it on some of the thickest, softest, crustiest rye bread in the city and wash it down with an artful cappuccino.

Haven’t tried Waltons. Bess was a bust both times.

I LOVE Walton’s bread and their sandwiches. So awesome. Their cookies are the best in town too. However, I was disappointed by on of their soups and also by their breakfast tacos. Also, I was there for breakfast today and they didn’t have any jam for my friends toast!
They have “happy hour” at 7 a.m. - 9 a.m. Monday through Friday where everything is 15 percent off. I thought it was a great deal until I noticed that some of their pastry prices went up — a cookie that was $1 before is now $1.75.
I want Walton’s to succeed and love the atmosphere but they need to work on some of their issues and try to be more consistent to make it here.
