So my pal Swayze tricked me into eating this. Told me it was a solid meat pizza soaked in tequila. Nevermind why I found that appealing on any level. I just did. Anyway, I'm from the North where pizza tends to be 2 inches thick and full of meat. The more meat and cheese you can stuff into a soggy, grease-soaked crust the better. Having 2nd degree burns on your chin after a meal or having to pull over on the way home to throw up is not uncommon. This pizza was thin, crispy and meat and greaseless. Oh, and no effing sauce. This pizza should only cost half as much as other pizzas. Anyway, I ate it. I've eaten it a couple dozen times since. I'm not sure it's pizza but it's good. The great thing about it is that it's so light I can drink more beer (have a Fireman's #4) with it, which is not bad.

This is the most overlooked, underrated burger in Austin. Hill-Bert's has to be about the ugliest burger joint in town. Perfectly grilled. Get it with bacon.Get the fries. Vanilla shake. Thinking about this burger makes me want to weep. I want to have sex with this burger. Well, there was this one time where I did but that's not the point.

It's hard to believe that Torchy's serves this. Greasy chips. Bland red salsa. And this is not the first time. How do you mess up chips and salsa? I wish I could rate it zero. Deep fry some cardboard and dip it in water and that's roughly the flavor. Swayze loves 'em. Taco kryptonite to me. Pairs well with a Marlboro light and a tongue scraper.

Maudie's makes some damn fine basic Tex-Mex. There's nothing fancy about it and that's what makes it good. I'm not sure who thought it would be a good idea to crack a couple eggs on top of some enchiladas, but I'd like to thank them. I like my eggs sunny-side up on this dish but you can get them cooked however you'd like. I recommend trying them a little runny. Pairs well with a Shiner and a hooker.

I felt funny in my pants after eating a bite of this. White and Chocolate Ganache. It looks like a tiny portion---a lady's portion as Swayze called it, but it is rich.
