Sometimes I Wonder about SIDES!

No, not these sides, side dishes!
I was recently in Austin for a professional conference, and a group of faculty, students, and alumni got together for dinner. We got our eat on at a fantastic little out-of-the-way joint that had the most interesting side items. It got me thinking--what are my favorite side items?
Clearly side items depend on the entree, but are there certain ones that you just have to have? Are there any that you would gag at if they brought to your table? What about the cost of these dear meal companions?


ps, I had the broccoli with lemon butter. Lemon and butter was more like it, but it was delicious.
post ps, the eastside cafe is a great place. they grow all of the vegetables that they use in their garden. you can read more about it on their website, cleverly linked above.
