  1. I enjoy Matt's El Rancho.  Their margaritas are great and I 2nd the Shrimp a la Matt's is a great dish.  Their grilled salmon and their redfish mojo de ajo and a la Mexicana are also very solid.  Get an order of Matt's Fries to go and mix them with scrambled eggs and chorizo in the morning for a fantastic breakfast taco. 

    Someone mentioned liquid smoke in an earlier post which reminds me that Hoover's is overrated, if they are rated at all.

  2. I slang bar b que downtown for a year.  There was an item on the menu called "The Chunk", which was a big piece of the moist brisket served like a steak.  It was really good, but as you can imagine, had a significant amount of delicious fat on it.  At least 3 times a week, a customer would eat the more than 3/4th's of it and then bring it back and claim it was too fatty and wanted their money back.  The manager always gave them a free banana pudding that could have been from 3 days earlier.  Good times in food service!

    Don't have a specific restaurant rec, and not sure where you are staying, but there is a train that goes from the Crystal Shops (connected to Cosmo and Aria) straight to Monte Carlo which is right next to T-Mobile.  You could easily eat anywhere at Aria or Cosmo and take train there.  Getting a cab outside T Mobile is a mess.  I don't have any experience with Aria restaurants but I like all of the Cosmo restaurants.

     

    STK - Steak
    Scarpetta - Italian
    Milos - Seafood
    Momofuku - Not sure how to classify it but probably my favorite restaurant there
    Beauty & Essex - Fun tapas type place

    China Poblano at the Cosmo is also excellent.  

  4. 1996 at Forrest Creek Golf Club in Round Rock.  37-30 for a 67 from the Blue tees.  The back 9 was magical and it remains one of the two rounds of my life under par.  My other one was a 71 at Onion Creek.  I'm a really shitty golfer now and can barely break 90.
