Sesame Chicken at Asia Market

8648 Spicewood Springs Rd # H, Austin, TX, 78759

This is probably the most authentic sesame chicken dish in all of Austin, TX. However, it is not quite as good as some of the slightly westernized versions I am more accustomed to. Each bite was amazingly crunchy and even after 45 minutes retained perfect consistently. Like most of Asia Market's dishes, it is huge, so share it with all of your friend!

The potato filled Masala Dosa at Sarovar is scrumptious! As you know the key to a great dosa is the sauce that goes with it, so half the credit for the rating goes to the great sauces at Sarovar. Enjoy this starter with a sweet Mango Lassie or an ice cold Kingfisher as you await your main meal.

Any place that gives you the option of ordering your Buffalo Burger mild, medium or hot is serious about their burger. Casino goes so far as to finely granulate the blue cheese which keeps the flavor consistent in every bite. Everything from this bar/restaurant (mostly bar) to the way you order to finding a table to the skin flix on the screens to enjoying your burger is an experience to remember... ...and if you are not into goth and piercings, you should make yourself go anyways, these burgers (and the fries) are consistently incredible!

These little shrimp bites are comprised of a herb and pumpkin-seed tostada, pesto-grilled shrimp, fresh guacamole and a dash of chipotle. These are great to share with the table like most appetizers. Yum.

Shrimp Po'boy at Domilise's

5240 Annunciation St, New Orleans, LA
(504) 899-9126

Arguably the best Po'boy in New Orleans, making it perhaps the best in the world, Domilise's shrimp Po'boy will haunt your memories for ever. Starting with the legendary Leidenheimer French bread and followed with delicate, lightly breaded shrimp, this dish is made by the "Ladies" behind the counter with the finest of ingredients. Domilise's is a bit off the beaten track and be prepared to wait, the restaurant only seats a few and lines are often out the door. The trip and the wait are well worth it and only make the Po'boy that much better! Enjoy your Cajun feast with a Barq's root beer or an Abita Turbo Dog or both!
