Iconoclast Texan

So I went down to Austin for the first time since the 2004 Missouri football game. Austin is still as great as ever and I really got nostalgic for the place and didn't want to come back to New York.
My wife and I got in late on Friday night so we didn't have many options for dinner so we decided to go to Trudy's with our friends who also come in from out of town. We basically had an unofficial law school reunion with our closest law school buddies. Trudy's food still sucks but their top shelf Mexican Martinis are still as good as ever. Those things went down very nice and wanted more than the 2 they allow.
I got to go to my first Horns basketball game since the 2003 season. I am a huge hoops fan and I went to as many games as I could when I lived in Austin. They did a very nice job in renovating the FEC and I really liked the improved concessions, graphics boards, and video scoreboard.
Unfortunately, I couldn't get a reservation to Uchi. I am planning on coming for the tOSU game so I will have to try it then. We went to Z Tejas and Salt Lick and both were great. I love Salt Lick and going there is like dying and going to heaven to me.
I did try Capitol Brasserie on Sunday and I thought it was very good. Thanks for everyone's suggestions.
