    Pico's, Richmond at Kirby. Great specials and moles.
  2. I posted about this on another thread but I spent the entire month of June, 2021 in the Algarve in southern Portugal. My uncle had died and I had to go rescue my elderly aunt. Honestly, I didn’t get to see very much. She was in ill health herself so I saw no museums, toured no castles or vineyards or olive groves. I never even got down to the beach a few hundred feet below their condo. I only ate at a handful of restaurants but did a lot of cooking and loved the local grocery store. I DID get to visit the emergency room in Portimao, the hair place in Lagos and the skin treatment place in Luz. I say all that just to get to this: I LOVED Portugal. I loved the people I met. I loved driving the roundabouts. I loved the food, the wine, the climate. We spent the last couple of days in Lisbon but again, I didn’t see much and there was much to see. If I ever “cross the pond” again, it will be to get back to Portugal. Oh yeah, my point - spend a week in Lisbon. Take an overnighter somewhere if you want, (Porto/Douro), but Lisbon is awesome. I look forward to your travelogue and photos. One caveat, the trains are constantly on strike. I had two train rides planned, one from Lisbon to Faro on my arrival, and one from Faro to Lisbon on our departure. Both cancelled due to strike. I still get alerts from the Portuguese railroad when there’s a strike planned. It happens a lot. Just something to keep in mind.
  3. Will we beat these guys to advance to the Sweet Sixteen or will they butt fuck us? * * or both? Edited to add: ∆ Username and avatar check the fuck out, eh?
  4. There used to be a Quizno's at Gessner and Westheimer and I popped in there every so often for a half sandwich and cup of soup to go. The "last" time I was there I got a cup of clam chowder. Clam chowder. Quizno's.
  5. I'll wait until Georgio from Ancient Aliens tells me what it's all about. Activity at the Bermuda Triangle underwater bases would be my guess. 🤔
  6. I've never been there but the alternative to "being open until sold out" is either having food left over or being open AFTER sold out. Neither one is sustainable in craft bbq. If you want to be Dickey's maybe... Put me in the bad idea category.
  7. After inhabiting the Americas for some 15,000 years (and counting), we have found "literally" hundreds of thousands of artifacts used in the hunting, butchering and eating of game animals, AND the cultivation of certain plants, but no one, no one ever, found an artifact associated with pulling the wings off a cricket. 🤔

    Still undefeated.
  9. I have no idea where Linden is, but it would be worth the trip just tor those onion rings.
  10. Link I remember seeing her in One Million Years BC as a young adolescent on the 3pm Million Dollar Movie after school. Revolutionary.
  11. Phat Eatery is great. Its not a fancy restaurant - it features Malaysian street food with typical Indonesian thrown in. Rotis and rendang, etc. Cool vibe and great food. Recommended.

    For lunch, You might look into Pappa Charlie’s and Killen's. They’re across the freeway from each other I think. I’ve been to both but in other locations.

    At the NW corner of 290 and Jones is a small strip center with a Starbucks at one end and a breakfast taco place at the other. The name escapes me, but I can find it if interested. They close at 2pm or something but they have great tacos and a constant stream of customers. That should work for you. For BBQ at dinner, your best bet probably "is" Rudy's. BBQ in these parts is pretty much breakfast and lunch. It's all dried out by dinner. As for Truth BBQ, you're probably as close to the Brenham location as the Houston one, time wise. Traffic is about the same but at least it's all going the same direction.
