Matthew Mcconaughey's Austin
by
Mark Seal
DINNER
"Matt's El Rancho is pretty authentic Mexican
food and a big family
atmosphere. They're not afraid to spice it up and give you a little
fire. If you want good Tex-Mex, Chuy's over on Barton Springs is a
lively, kind of eclectic
Austin spot. And their portions are huge.
There's a string of good restaurants on Barton Springs, like Shady
Grove. I love to eat outside if I can. What I like about Shady
Grove is that the outside porch is sort of connected to the parking
lot, which makes it seem like it's connected to a trailer park."
MUSIC
"Stubb's Bar-B-Q is a great place to get a group together to hear
some music. I'm not going to say it's the best barbecue in town,
but it's a good place to see live music."
MIDNIGHT SNACK
"The best pizza I've ever had is Domenick's on Sixth Street. Oh,
it's so good, and it stays open late. It's a hole in the wall with
one little bar on the left where they're back there cooking it.
It's got about four stools, a shaker of garlic, oregano, red
pepper, and Parmesan. Gimme a slice of hamburger and pepperoni at 2
a.m."
SUNDAY
LUNCH "I love
Sonic. For a few reasons. One, I get the double
jalapeño with cheese. They melt the cheese with the top bun; that's
one of their secrets. The other thing I like is driving in. I get
to control my climate, play my own music, and when I'm through
eating, I don't have to wait for the bill. Get yourself a double
jalapeño burger. That's my first meal of the day, man."
