  1. fortunately, i live nowhere near houston unfortunately, they don't distribute anywhere near me and i'm not paying $14 a jar, but those look fantastic. in laws are going to be going to Houston in a few weeks and may ask them to grab some for me. where are you seeing it in stores?
  2. bumping this to say i agree totally. these are fantastic
  3. also, updated drivers list for next year thoughts: SAI ends up in the 2nd Red Bull seat with a 1 year contract, ends up at Audi in 26 or does well enough for RBR to pay him to stay. MB: soft landing for a 1 year deal for PER? Stroll is back at AM for one last ride before his father sells enough of a stake that they can make the decision to replace him "my hands were tied Lance!" Gasly stays at Alpine, and Ocon fucks off to Formula E, does shitty and we never hear from him again. Alpine does something weird with the other seat - BOT? PER? more likely is they just keep their all French combo, which i hate Williams re-signs Albon to a 1 year deal, adds Kimi Antonelli to 2nd seat. whoever finishes better, Yuki (probably) or Danny Ric (less likely) keeps the VCARB seat with the other going to Lawson Kick ends up with someone to keep the seat warm for 1 year for SAI - Danny Ric? BOT? PER? Haas ends up with something like Ollie Bearman + an experienced driver like BOT? or they cheap out and keep KMag for another year. let's be honest they probably do that because Gene Haas is a cheap SOB. maybe they double up with young guys and have Pourchaire? or Zhou as the pay driver (you just know Gene wants to break into that Chinese market) so you have RBR: VER and SAI MB: RUS and PER? FER: LEC and HAM MCL: NOR and PIA AM: Stroll and ALO Alpine: GAS and BOT? Ocon? Williams: ALB and Kimi Antonelli VCARB: TSU and LAW Kick: HUL and RIC? BOT? Haas: Bearman and Pouchaire? KMag? Zhou?
  4. BOT has smoked the hell out of Zhou, something like 33-16 in quali as teammates and has 5-0'd him this year. if people are fired up about shitty drivers, then they need to get worked up about Zhou. He is the definition of a pay driver at this point - he won the F3 asian championship in the year he was in F2 where he finished third, outside of that never won any series, highest ever f1 finish is 8th, then 2 10s then 3 9s for a total of 12 points across 2 full seasons and 0 points so far this year, has more retirements across 2 full years - 8 - than he does points finishes - 6. he clearly ain't shit. people want to shit on Danny Ric, but he had the same # of points in 7 total races last year as Zhou had in the largest F1 calendar ever. if we are talking about getting folks out of F1 who are not very good to make way for some of the new blood, Zhou is down there with Logan Sargeant, KMag, Danny Ric, etc at this point. i hope BOT sticks around, one way or another.
  5. i went like twice to Roast and the food was good, but i really remember hating the location/space. i liked Stanleys, still do and the Motherclucker is my favorite sandwich I've ever eaten. One of the few places I miss from ETX
  6. editing to just talk about the full bar part of things. Top 50 spots I think that have a full bar Pinkertons Terry Blacks Stanleys Truth in Houston Killens? L&L (new spot) who else has a full bar that's in the top 50? -- ignore this below, had to do with hours that Jimmy put together and i misunderstood something
  7. key parts of the thread that really hit home: this part (10 and 11) is exactly how i feel, especially 11.
  8. Franklin's has a very high quality standard. also they absolutely did a huge expansion from a food truck style to the building - just on the # of smokers they were using/briskets smoking/etc looking at the last TMBBQ top 50 list's top 10: Goldees: opened B&M Interstellar: did they open in the strip mall? Truth: B&M in Brenham --> B&M in Houston Burnt Bean: opened B&M L&L: Food Truck --> B&M in 2024 Cattleack: i think they opened at the B&M? not sure Franklin: Food Truck --> B&M Evie Mae: Food Truck --> B&M Snows: always been what it is today Panther City: Food Truck --> B&M DFW has Daynes, Hurtado, Zavalas that i think all went Food Truck or pop up to B&M? off the top of my head/looking at top 50 list 2M opened as a B&M but did popups? Sunbird was food truck now B&M Eaker was food truck in Houston, moved to Fredericksburg and opened a B&M then made top 50 Guess Family was food truck to B&M Stanleys and Slow Bone opened as B&M i think Pecan Lodge for me is the biggest example of the flip over to large B&M that just never worked out quality wise. they had huge issues with like quadrupling their pit space when they moved and someone told me their lease required them to do B&M hours vs a "sell out when you sell out" model here is the prior top 50: https://www.texasmonthly.com/food/the-list-the-top-50-barbecue-joints-in-texas/
  9. lol i'm sure you are. hey at this point if it shakes things up - great. i'm in for that.
  10. if RBR implodes - at the end of this THAT should be the question. Jos and Max backing the 80 year old who has basically zero impact on the day to day of running RBR overall, has no impact on the technical side, has no impact on the organizational side and wasn't the guy who built the org in the first place instead of the 50 year old is and forever should be seen as a monumental fumbling of the bag. the success that RBR has had as an org over the last few years is significantly more tilted towards the technical/org side than the Marko side and it isn't even close fuck Jos and honestly fuck Max for letting it get here. dude has more juice within his team over the last 3 years than any other single driver, including Lewis. the lack of stability is what has a lot to do with Newey potentially leaving, and that lack of stability is directly related to the Marko/Horner power struggle
  11. if you own stock now and haven't sold, idk what to say. you should have sold in 21 or 22, unless you got in very, very early or have a very very low cost. which then begs the question. when did you buy in / what was your per share cost?
  12. yeah, turn the initial truck into your commissary kitchen, roll out a second truck somewhere else (Buda?) and grow that slowly going from that food truck to 6,000 sq feet was setting them up to fail
  13. i think they said hes making about 17m now? so it's a nice bump either way, it's something RBR should match in a heartbeat
