Best Late-Night Restaurant

There's nowhere in Dallas to get a better hit of post-debauchery nutrition than Cuba Libre, a Latin rumba of pulsing pecs, flirty lips, slinky dresses and herbs and spices lewdly dispersed over various protein platforms hopped on a mom-approved vitamins and minerals (even prowling club lizards need virilty maintenance).  The latter is assembled by Nick Badovinus, a crafty chef who does things to shrimp, fish and meat that would scare the chips out of salsa, or maybe the salsa into your buddy's bloomers.  And that's a helluva lot more bang than you'll get from an aerosol cheese omelette or a waffler with freeze-dried blueberries. - Dallas Observer Sept. 26-Oct. 2, 2002
