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.
Go out and sample what Mike Sutter recommends in his Great Dishes Gowalla trip.

Today’s Austin360 magazine is a three-part review of chef David Bull’s new Congress Austin compound at the Austonian.
Congress gets five stars (review here) and Bar Congress scores with a cocktail that tastes the way a cigar shop smells (review here), but Second Bar + Kitchen (review here) is the place to eat like an 8-year-old, or like your wife who’s 29 months pregnant, or like Seth Rogen.
What would they order? This:
Top row: Short-rib pizza with burrata cheese, roasted garlic and caramelized onion; sticky toffee pudding with bacon ice cream.
Middle row: Pizza Pomodoro with mozzarella and basil.
Bottom row: Buffalo fried pickles; pork shoulder with mascarpone polenta.

The black truffle pommes frites are better than the fried pickles, IMO. The flavor is nuanced and delicate. I found the pickles overpowering and soggy.
