The M.O.
Born in Austin, Matthew left soon thereafter and finally made it back after years of paying his penance wandering the earth. Before coming to Austin360, Matthew co-edited Austinist.com, worked as an advertising copywriter and led tours of the Roman Forum, among other things.
When not busy pounding away on his keyboard, he can be found at book readings, concerts, gelaterias, pizza joints, Barton Springs, movie theaters, the golf course, or home with a book. The M.O. gives readers a little insight into the world of this man without a plan.

The winner of the Your A-List poll for best French fries obviously think as highly of their taters as you do. How else could you explain the massive statue of fries outside of Hyde Park Bar & Grill, winner with 36 percent of the vote.
Whether you’re getting them as a side to your burger or just making a late-night pit stop to soak up the extended happy hour booze, people seem to love Hyde Park’s fries. They’re breaded and come served with some secret sauce that must have an ingredient in it that make people come back time and time again.
Others receiving votes
- P. Terry’s, 13 percent
- Billy’s on Burnet, 9 percent
- Top Notch, 9 percent
- Hut’s, 8 percent
- Phil’s, 7 percent
- Sandy’s, 7 percent
- The Tavern, 4 percent
- 219 West, 3 percent
- Quality Seafood, 2 percent
- Starlite, 2 percent

Man this fry list is shwag. Hyde Park is bunk, it’s like eating soggy frozen fries covered in ash tray resin. Enotecca and Zax throw down the best fried spud. I’m surprised the food conisours of this town didn’t pick Wendys.
