  1. Hotels are like airlines. Huge fixed costs. Limited variable costs. Volume-cost-profit is the key. They kill it when they kill it. They suck when they don't.
  2. We have never found better calamari than what Duke's serves. The Kauai store by the Marriot near the airport is a great way to enjoy life before getting on the plane, but we've also been to their stores on other islands and in California. Never a miss.
  3. I know that I have said this on other threads, but we always go to the island Costco for proteins, be it local fish or some frozen proteins (read: steak), and then hit the daily farmer's markets for veggies or salads while we tourist around.
  4. Kauai is the nuts. Hamura Saiman Stand will set the tone after you get off the plane in Lihue.
  5. Ridic that you can eat prime steaks for less than brisket these days. It's yardbird or pork butts when I do stuff at home lately.
  6. I've never tried, but it seems like a worthy endeavor.

  8. Pos rep for bloody Bloody Bulls. Great flavor combo.
  9. Saturday morning menudo! Brother from another Mother?
  10. The "I'm an Alcoholic" thread is over there. ---->
  11. With the Clamato, you are approaching a Canadian Bloody Caesar. Both are great. For a change of pace, use Gin instead of Vodka. And also, it is hard to beat Zing Zang as your base mixer.
  12. Pay attention, folks. This is a world class humblebrag!
  13. Peet's Whole Bean Dark French Roast is my standard. I grind some beans every morning and use my French Press. I may or may not add some Wild Turkey or Brandy to my cup from time to time.
  14. Fresh ground beans and a French press is the way. Simple and effective.
  15. This seemed like an interesting piece in the May D Magazine. Anybody have on the ground experience with these places? Why Are Iraqi Burgers So Good? https://www.dmagazine.com/publications/d-magazine/2024/may/why-are-iraqi-burgers-so-good/
  16. We got out for under $100 because my bride is a lightweight - one glass of Prosecco! I've long teased her about being a cheap date!
  17. Just had an amazing HH at Salt Traders in Round Rock. $1 gulf oysters, $5 off appetizers, cheap bar snacks, and good drink specials. That is a fun and hopping place.
  18. I've had some of these that act like they are offended and hurt that I haven't responded to their last 4-12 "personal" messages to me. Fuck that shit. Read the room.
  19. 220 -221, whatever it takes.
  20. 4-4 top of 7th.
  21. Stay in Fisherman's Wharf, still a pretty safe area. Alcatraz is a cool trip. Ride a cable car down to Chinatown for a meal, but go no further than Chinatown. Then get the hell out of there. Rent a car and drive down the coast to Monterey, Pacific Grove, Carmel-by-the Sea, Pebble Beach. All are much better places than SF.
  22. Kicking this thread back into action. Sweetwater Oyster Bar on Whitestone in Cedar Park has a M-F HH that kicks butt. $1 gulf oysters on the half shell, a bunch of $10 small plates, good drink specials. Fun place. https://sweetwateroysterbar.com/
  23. Nope. But they have a great track record with all of those places. I'm a long-time Ziziki's fan, but look forward to trying Nikki.
