  1. Can we retire #29?
  2. I am lamenting brunch in fancy Houston as a proud resident of laid back SA.
  3. We are taking a weekend trip to Houston with our boys (9 & 7) soon and my wife wants to book an 10:30am Saturday brunch at a trendy Italian restaurant downtown because she says “brunch seems like a big deal in Houston” and I’m glad I don’t live there anymore but afraid to object too loudly because it’s clear she just wants to do some unreasonable shit and briefly escape a hotel room that smells like farts even if that fucks up one of two mornings on the trip.
  4. If Laguna Madre passed the test for a second visit you might want to try Bill Miller’s for BBQ. I know they have a location on Broadway across from Incarnate Word a couple miles north of where you are focusing. Not sure if there are others.
  5. I don’t do much brunch, but I do hit Thousand Oaks Cafe on Austin Highway every Saturday for breakfast and cannot recommend it highly enough. Of the various Pearl spots I would rank 1) Ladino 2) Mon Chou Chou and 3) Best Quality Daughter as my top three. The pizza place at the food court is also quite good.
  6. I really want to love the Hayden. I go there often enough. Love the vibe and what they are trying to do. But the menu is completely hit or miss depending on what you order. Most dishes with chicken are downright bad and the pastrami gravy is gross. Other sandwiches, burgers and entrees are pretty good. Fish n chips are good. Apps and cocktails are solid. i had the pot roast tonight and while i usually don’t like tomato based sauces on pot roast this was decent and the crispy Brussels sprouts were an excellent accompaniment.
  7. He is going to try to send one to the moon when any poke will do. But I am here for it. You be you Rylan.
  8. I was referencing the dick-bump at home plate.
  9. Have we discussed the unique way these Sooners are celebrating home runs?
  10. Beating Mississippi State is in his blood
  11. From the outside you can’t understand it. From the inside you can’t explain it
  12. I said at the time that if we got the punt off and tackled the returner, the game was won. We weren't going 3 and out and they couldn't move it fast enough. Even on their one sustained drive in the second half it was dink and dunk 4 yards at a time.
  13. I echo Mon Chou Chou. I would also recommend Ladino (mediterranean) and Best Quality Daughter (asian), on the level with Cured and well ahead of places like Southerleigh, Supper, and La Gloria. The pizza spot in the food hall is good, and the new burger place in there looks solid, although I haven't been. Bakery Lorraine for breakfast is great. If you want to range beyond the Pearl proper, I would avoid Carriqui or Down on Grayson. Josephine St. is fine if you aren't looking for anything fancy. But my recommendation would be to walk south on the river to Tres Trattoria for a decent Italian spot. It's a shame Allora shut down because that place was fantastic.
  14. It’s all about perspective. I look at this not as an improvement on fries, but as an improvement on the loaded baked potato.
