Ms. Alex will be in Austin in a couple of weeks and plans to venture out for dinner, probably by herself, on a Sunday and a Tuesday. From the research we've done so far, Sunday looks very much like a Chez Nous night, but Tuesday is as yet unplanned.

She's open to most any cuisine, but prefers a place that's relatively casual (business casual is OK) and not overly loud. Most of the entrées should be under $30. We've scouted out what appear to be some likely candidates -- Restaurant Jezebel, Wink Restaurant, Cafe Josie, Gumbo's -- and would appreciate some feedback, but further suggestions are extremely welcome, of course.

Imagine all the food you have eaten in your life and consider that you are simply some of that food, rearranged.  -Max Tegmark, physicist

 

Gene Weingarten, writing in the Washington Post about online news stories and the accompanying readers' comments: "I basically like 'comments,' though they can seem a little jarring: spit-flecked rants that are appended to a product that at least tries for a measure of objectivity and dignity. It's as though when you order a sirloin steak, it comes with a side of maggots."

A cheap cab ride up Cogress, and you can go to Vespaio. It's my favorite place in town at the moment.

Of course, there's always Uchi.

-Sounds awfully rich!

-It is! That's why I serve it with ice cream to cut the sweetness!
