Austin:

(1) On the firm's dime: Sullivans, Roaring Fork, Manuels;

(2) On your own dime: Mike's Pub, Guerro's, or Torchy's Tacos.

Austin BBQ:

Have to go Salt Lick over either of the County Lines.

And Hill's Cafe for the best chicken-fried steak.

Austin:

I'd vote Magnolia over Austin Java for breakfast (or lunch for that matter).

And if you don't practice downtown but are instead further west towards Lake Travis, Hudson's on the Bend is my favorite culinary spot in town.

Phil's 78704 burger or Mighty Fine by the Domain.

I respectfully disagree that the embedded clip is the "Craziest Deposition Ever." I'm regionally biased, but I consider the clip below to be the best/craziest depo ever.

This clip's made even better by the fact that the attorney about to resort to fisticuffs with the witness and opposing counsel is none other Joe Jamail, who still holds the record of the largest domestic verdict ever upheld on appeal ($8.53 billion in actuals and punitives). See Texaco, Inc. v. Pennzoil Co., 729 S.W.2d 768, 774, 866 (Tex. App.–Houst. [1st Dist.] 1987, writ ref’d n.r.e.).
