The Varsity is awful! Definitely a tourist trap to be avoided at all costs.
Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 23: What's Your Ideal Diet Breakfast?
You're getting quite a lashing but as long as you understand how much your breakfast is lacking in nutrition, I don't feel as though I should add to the chatter. I wish I had the cajones to eat chips for breakfast! How I envy you!
My favorite DIET breakfast is a 1/2 cup of plain fat-free organic yogurt, 1 apple (Granny Smith or Pink Lady), 1 hard-boiled egg, and 2 cups of water. If I've got more time, I like to do a quick tofu scramble with some bell peppers, served alongside half an avocado, pico de gallo, and whole wheat tortillas. I'm not much for sweets for brekkie.

I love rau ma! Che nhan reminds me of sam bo luong.
Where to Eat in Austin
El Chile is a bit out of the way but I like their Mexican food much more than Chuy's! :/

I love Jim! This skit especially cracks me up.
Sack Lunch: Black Beans and Rice
I definitely want to try this but I might cut back on the oil and add the kale, as you mentioned in your commentary.
Banh mi in Austin, where can I get one?
I feel sorry for anyone craving decent Vietnamese food in Austin. It simpy doesn't exist. :(
Do you brown bag it for lunch?
I usually do steamed vegetables (brussel sprouts, or medley of carrots, broccoli, and cauliflower) or salad (mixed greens or broccoli/cabbage slaw as the base, with alfalfa or radish sprouts, grape tomatoes, bell peppers, onion, radishes, and cucumbers), hard boiled eggs or water-packed tuna, and some extra veggies for dipping with hummus. If I want something sweet, I'll pack a Fuji apple, clementine, or a piece of organic dark chocolate.
I'm trying to eat healthier but I sure miss those lunch-time burritos.
Frozen Guilty (Hot) Pleasures: What Are Yours?
Taquitos are hands down the best frozen savory guilty pleasure. I could eat half a box in one sitting if I wasn't careful!

@HeartofGlass - Thanks for mentioning aspartame! Artificial sweeteners, while they may be noncaloric, do foster sweets cravings the same way that refined sugar does, so diet sodas can actually encourage overeating. And there's that little bit about aspartame being a neurotoxin...
I do take exception with the smoothies comment - when they're made with no added sugar, they can be an excellent breakfast food for the times of year when fresh fruit isn't readily available. Frozen fruit is not very palatable thawed and eaten, but it's perfect for a smoothie.

Diet soda, while not having calories is full of aspertame, which (unlike Splenda) is an artificial sweetener that spikes the blood sugar. Strawberries or a real potato have more potassium than a banana, actually, and while some fruit is better than no fruit, a high sugar, high GI starchy fruit plus aspertame is very hunger-spiking, combined with potato chips (also high GI) that have little nutritional value.
A typical 'breakfast sandwich' of an egg on an English muffin with cheese or even lean meat would be lower in calories and have more protien, depending on the bread, how the egg was cooked, and so forth.
Smoothies are very high in sugar too, btw, for all of you 'fans' out there...
I've never understood smoothies, personally--as long as I have teeth, I like to chew my fruit!
Nothing is wrong with an occasional indulgent breakfast, but if I'm going to indulge, hell I'll have cake for breakfast, not packaged snack food and good coffee, not preservative-laden soda!

I agree with "I can't stand Flying Biscuit, The Varsity, or Mary Mac's."
Fritti is a must
Dinner Tonight: Deviled Sardines
Thank you for the Deviled Sardines recipe. Tinned sardines are high in protein and great food for your brain! I gave up eating deviled ham years ago, the same time I stopped eating Spam. The only deviled thing that I have eaten recently is deviled eggs. In 1988 an international student asked me why I called my prepared eggs "deviled eggs" instead of "stuffed eggs," and I told her because you remove the yolks and mash the devil out of it! :D

Canned sardines on grilled country bread, topped with crumbled or sliced chillies and chopped fresh mint make a brilliant sardine bruschetta. Simple to make but delicious: the chilli provides "devil" whereas the mint is cooling (it also takes away any fishiness and prevents repetition burping): a great flavour combination - even for people who think they don't like sardines!

I have been eating tinned sardines for years. Healthy and quick , my son eats them too. Try them with cream cheese on black bread or in pasta with raisins.

Being Filipino-Am, I grew up eating canned sardines in tomato sauce over rice. My mom would saute some onions and garlic, add chili sauce to the adult portions, and serve the "dressed up" version of the canned sardines over a bed of rice with some steamed green veggie on the side. You can usually find canned sardines in tomato sauce near the other tinned fish, or in the Latino aisle at the grocery store.

I can't stand Flying Biscuit, The Varsity, or Mary Mac's. They are all touristy. I agree that Busy Bee is the place to go for soul food. (Fried chicken there is a must.) I would recommend you check out www.yelp.com/atlanta and do a little research. That way you can see what all of us think about places in downtown, and read more detailed reviews of places, before you commit.

Definitely The Flying Biscuit. My sister lives in Atlanta and that was the one place she made us go when we visited her a few years ago.

My comfort food: sardines in olive oil, drained on Ritz crackers and bright, cheap yellow mustard.
