    It seems the hot chicken craze may be heading towards the same fate as the bank branch on every corner and stand-alone ER in every neighborhood. 

    Hopefully only for the shitty ones like Lucky's, Dave's etc- I'm not even a fan of Hattie B's really.  I'll pray for places like Ricky's though.

    In Argentina, the mayo/ketchup combo is called "salsa golf," and they put that shit on EVERYTHING.  

    Same for Puerto Rico, but they call it mayoketchup, or mayokechu. They put garlic and lemon juice in as well.

    I think I have mentioned this to you before, but she also used butter as a condiment on our ham sandwiches, something else that I haven’t seen since her passing. Weird as shit to me growing up, but makes perfect sense now, as they milked cows through the 30s and 40s. Homemade butter was probably all that they had. 

    Spent my summers in Ireland growing up and my family there airways used butter as their sandwich spread. It was weird for an American kid to come in for for a lunch of ham and butter sandwiches and hot tea with cream and sugar.  But I grew to love it.

    Back in the dorms at ISU, it was common for my buddies to drunkenly order Pokey Sticks from Gumby's (I believe Austin has Gumby's as well, so I don't think I need to explain it), eat part of it, pass out, and then forget to refrigerate them.

    Not having grown up on hog farms literally surrounded by shit most of their childhoods, they had much daintier sensibilities than I did and would decide that 5-6 hours of baked bread and cheese being unrefrigerated made it inedible.  As they would go to toss their unwanted (but completely fine) food out, I would usually intervene (having been raised in the German Catholic tradition of wasting food being on par with murder) and prevent the waste.  Eventually it reached the point, where if I saw the pizza boxes tossed in the hall, I'd investigate, and if good food was being tossed, I'd take it upon myself to prevent it.

    My parents always put the box of leftover Pizza Hut in the oven to be eaten the next day.  Never was a problem.

    I have to admit, in college with no money, a couple buddies and I would venture to a couple of large dance clubs we knew how to sneak thru the back and cruise around the place which would be dark and lurk awaiting folks to get up to dance. Just slide buy a scoop up a drink on the table and go to a table and we’d chug our loot. “I got half a G&T! What’s you get? “ “I got a fucking pink squirrel! Fuck!” “ I snagged a cold Full Moosehead!” Slug ‘em down and go get another. It was always a lousy buzz from mixing all kinds of shit and you had to toss about half being melted ice or having a sunken cigarette butt. Amazing we never got herpes or caught or accidentally roofied. Not a proud moment but resourceful in a time of need. The hunt was the real thrill.

    I told my wife this story about 38 years ago and she was appalled.

    This is fucking awesome.

    They just recently opened up a Matt's in Allen in the old Casa Del Rio place off 75 and McDermott. Haven't been to it 

    Were the Matt's in DFW basically the same as Matt's El Rancho or worse copies?

    I've been.  The food was great but the atmosphere needed some serious work. It was quiet, no music that I can remember, and you could hear the tvs at the bar.  Weird.  But the chili gravy was money as always.

    I like my Tex Mex closer to peasant food vs Uppity Highland Park. 

    His menu looks like a near clone of Mi Cocina and Taco Diner.

    Agree 100% on the uppity bullshit.  And I don't blame Mico for that menu/concept stuff.  He may have been his own downfall at M, but if people were still getting rich off my creations I'd be stealing as much of that shit back as possible.

    i wondered how there was already a line before the drafted the teams.

    anyone know if luka is going to be on any sort of restrictions tonight?  he's +750 to win the mvp on my site and that looks pretty tempting to me.

    Don't do it. All Star Sunday ain't never been white boy day.  And all signs point to him not giving a shit.  He said the thing he was most looking forward to about All Star Weekend was getting on a plane to Mexico after the game.  

    Hope I'm wrong.

    Anyone been to Country Burger in Oak Cliff?  Saw them teased for that Aggy Sunday am Texas Bucket List show next week.

    I don't think they're related, but Country Burger in Murphy (and Plano I think) is damn good.  Great burgers and CFS sandwiches.  And they have a spicy ketchup that's so good I take a bunch home with me even if I don't have anything leftover.

    Not my picture:
