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.

Every day of this 30-day sunstroke we call June, I’ll seek relief in something sweet and cold enough to make your head hurt. Bonus: It’s said that our Arctic brethren have 100 words for snow. I’ll give you 30 to describe how hot it is.
DAY 7: TÈO
(1206 W. 38th St. 451-9555, www.caffeteo.com.)
The gelato: Salted caramel, strawberries-and-cream and chocolate with hazelnuts and ($4.15, medium with three scoops). White, pink and brown make a classic sundae, but Tèo takes it a step further with chips of salty brittle and veins of caramel, with silky ripples of fruit and cocoa with an Italian pedigree: tartufo al bacio. Or trade the caramel gelato for a scoop of bananas Foster for an artisan banana split. On Tuesdays, a small gelato is just $2. A buck a scoop.
The hot word: SOS-DD — Same old sizzle, different day.
