Tony's Southern Comfort Food 1201 E. 6th St. One of my favorite restaurants. It's conveniently located on the east side of I-35 when I want to get some time away from the chaos of Sixth Street. I have yet to find another great home-cooking restaurant that doesn't affect my poor college kid budget.
Austin Community College's Bistro 3158, a restaurant put on by their culinary students, offers a tantalizing selection of food from different cultures and gives you an upscale dining experience.

Bistro 3158 opens doors, serves food from around the world
Sarah Neve Campus Editor The culinary program's student-run restaurants reopened for the first time this semester on Thursday, Oct. 9 at the Eastview Campus. An impressive display of traditional French foods was on the menu for the opening. The program is headed by Chef Brian Hays, who teaches American Regional Cuisine, the class that puts on the lunch events for Le´ Bistrette, and Chef Brian McCormick who teaches International Cuisine, the class that puts on the dinners at Bistro 3158.
Lunch has always been a favorite subject of mine throughout all of my years of school. Even in college not much has changed except now lunch is even better because I can choose where I eat and what I want to eat. I found out quickly that no matter I'm craving, The Tavern - located a few blocks away from the Austin Community College Rio Grande Campus on the corner of 12th Street and Lamar Boulevard - has it all, from mini corndogs to crab cakes.
Double Dave's Pizzaworks, the popular pizza joint located in the shopping center across from the Northridge Campus, is a fantastic place to eat within walking distance and is definitely affordable. The lunch buffet between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. has a great variety of pizzas, pepperoni rolls, stromboli, dessert pizzas, and a salad bar.
Authentic, affordable and flavorful food is often found in the most unlikely places. The picturesque Little Italys and Chinatowns, settled by newly arriving immigrants at the turn of the 20th century, are quickly becoming overpriced museums of a bygone era.
Be it foie gras in Provence, grub worms in Oaxaca, or a particular cheese aged in a particular cave in the Pyrenees, there is no better social barometer than the foods we eat. A people's foodways are crafted through centuries of cultural and economic circumstance, new patterns of migration, the rise and fall of empires.

Everyone, at some point in their lives, curses the creator of Mondays. My usual chant is pretty simple, mainly consisting of various words not suitable for use in this article. Since we are all at some collegiate level, I'm sure you can imagine. From that point on, we spend the next five days preparing ourselves for our immortality.
While the claim that Austin is the "Music Capital of the World" Austin is debatable, Austin is quite possibly the food capital of Texas, if not the entire region. Mexican, German, Korean, Vietnamese and Indian cuisines have all had a profound influence in shaping Austin's food scene, making it a true melting pot of international flavors.
Hidden up a hill off South Congress near Ben White Boulevard is a wonderful coffee shop called Ruta Maya. That location is their International Headquarters. Ruta Maya is impressive, not only in size, but in cultural diversity - they have something for everyone.
