My 1995 used to do this exact same thing on occasion- I never figured out what it was (it did it very infrequently and the car was totaled before I had a chance to diagnose) but I suspected a leaky fuel injector(s), as there would be a strong smell of gas (like a rich mixture) on the rough restart. If you can pull the CEL code from the computer, that might point you in a direction or you or could also pull the spark plugs after you shut it down to see if fuel is leaking into one or more of the cylinders. Good luck!
