As is our habit, my wife and I were watching the Daily Show last night. The guest was Sandra Bullock. She was there to plug Miss Congeniality 2 (feh), but her conversation with Jon Stewart turned to Austin. They both gushed about our fair city and the topic turned to local eateries.

Bullock plugged Salt Lick which they both agreed was great. If you ask me, Cooper’s is hands down the best BBQ around and well worth the extra half-hour drive.

Stewart asked her about an old burger place that everyone recommends in town. She thought for a moment and suggested Sandy’s which I thought was a cool plug, but probably not the one he was trying to remember. I’m guessing he was talking about Hut’s, but then thought it could be Dirty’s, Top Notch, or Hillbert’s. For burger joint atmosphere, I think any of those that I mentioned are worthy. However, I still think the Amarillo burger at Casino El Camino is the best burger in town. Period.
