    Comparing Trump to Perot makes my brain hurt. 

    There is no comparison. 

     

     

    I represented Perot years ago in connection with the Reform Party. Without revealing any privileged communications I can state that having spent considerable time with him in person there is no comparison. 

     

    Whether or not you agree with his policies, Perot genuinely injected himself into the political sphere because of a sense of patriotism.

  2. Nice.  Too far for me, though.

    I tend to stick with basics--Central Market, Rudolph's or the basic supermarket.

    Anyone been to the newish place on Ross?  I keep meaning to go by there but I always seem to forget.

    This may seem odd, but I think it's also nice have more casual/lower end options when you just one a couple rolls with some beer and sake.  On that note I submit Oishii.  Rolls are pretty cheap, but you can definitely still rack up a bill if you get into the special rolls and high end sushi/sashimi.

    My daughter and her roommate are regulars there.  (no pics)

  4. You need to try more burgers.

    Says the guy who recommended Al Biernat's.

    The Grape is where the Uncle Herky first debuted.

    I miss Luscher's.

  5. Revolver Taco is good too.  Right across the street from Pecan Lodge.  Any one of those 3 are good choices.  I also like Armoury DE.  My neighbor's kid is either sous chef or now head chef there.  Interesting menu (Hungarian slant).

    I keep meaning to get to Braindead but haven't made it.  Everyone I know who has been there really likes it, though.

  6. Also, the Mexican place is called Wild Salsa.  Couldn't remember it last night.  It's pretty good.  Owned by the same people as Chop House IIRC.

    If you're wanting to stay in walking distance I would probably go with one of those.  A few blocks further away is a Campisi's (not a destination place, more like a cafeteria IMO), and a couple of other places in Stone Street Walkway that I've not visited in at least two years (Sol Irlandes and the Woolworth).

    If walking isn't an issue then there are a bunch of places in Deep Ellum you could visit, depending on what sort of food/vibe you want.  Braindead Brewpub, Cane Rosso, Pecan Lodge, Revolver Taco, Armory DE, just to name a few.
