    I'd like to compile, for my own uses, a list of the best places to eat in Austin and the surrounding areas. If you have a top 3 and everything else pales, give me those. If you can't trim your list any shorter than 20, then give me 20. Where do you go, what do you order?

    Nueva Onda - Migas
    Trudy's - Migas
    Chuys - Green Chile Enchiladas
    La Fuetes - anything
    El Arroyo - enchiladas del mar
    Trulucks - seared tuna
    Dave and Busters - chicken parmigana sandwhich (seriously)
    Shoreline Grill - anything
    Little Mexico - 1st st burrito (I think) HUGE
    Shady Grove - green chile anything
    Juan in a Million - the DJ
    Enchiladas y Mas - cheese enchiladas, chili sauce, lots o' onions
    South Lamar Drafthouse - godfather pizza or ceaser salad

    My list ebbs and flows, but you can tell I'm a tex-mex fan. I'm also clearly short on the east-side joints, but we're working on that. I'm sure I'm also leaving off about five top-notch places ... but ... what are yours?

    mods - this probably belongs in "around austin" - but can it live here for a bit for the traffic?

    My top five are pretty constant; the rest just depend on what sounds good lately.

    1. Uchi--anything and everything
    2. Asti--white pizza w/truffle oil and fried sage
    3. Chez Nous--whatever the steak option is with the nightly prix fixe
    4. Maudie's--Diablo Soul Food; Rockin' Ruthanne's, 1/2 ckn, 1/2 ground beef
    5. Austin Land & Cattle--bone-in ribeye, medium rare
    6. El Sol y La Luna--queso; huevos con chorizo; plantains
    7. Jo's--chicken burger w/fries
    8. Mandola's--prosciutto w/arugula pizza; pasta bolognese or carbonara
    9. Taco Shack--Orlando's Plate
    10. Saccone's--spinach pizza with 1/2 pepperoni, 1/2 meatballs
