  1. I always meant to do this on the other site, but thought I'd go ahead and toss it here. Maybe it belongs in Both Tacos?

    I know that some of you have to come out here for work/family on occasion.  With the current boom we are experiencing new places are popping up all over the place.  I'll drop a partial list below and try to keep it updated for those who are interested:

    Old-ish favorites:

    Wall Street Bar and Grill - Old school steak/American restaurant located downtown, decent cocktails and most of the menu items are really solid

    Cancun Grill - Peninsula style Mexican food, the corn queso is seriously legit as are most of the menu items. Very well run and also downtown

    Luigi's -  Downtown Italian food - has been around a long time and all of the menu items I have tried are delicious

    Newer options:

    Opal's table - Chef Chip Hight opened this a year or two ago.  It's located downtown and is pretty popular with the lunch crowd.  I've had some really solid items from here and some that are so-so.  The bar/mixology is some of the best in Midland (IMHO). 

    Ally Café - recently opened Ally Outdoors gun range has a café that is seriously legit.  Everything I have had here is delicious and Chef Callie is always adding new delicious stuff.  This is located on the northeast part of town.

    Cork & Pig - this was opened about 4 or 5 years ago (I think) and is located between Midland and Odessa, but closer to Odessa.  Again, everything I've had is really solid here and it's work the trip out there.  There is a decent bar next door called Proof, but you might want to Uber out there if you are planning to make a night of it.

    Taco Del Vino is a new street taco place that is really solid as well.  Great menu, they accept cash only.

    Fast options:

    We have this Mexican fast food restaurant called Rosa's and it's better than the best of Taco C, Taco Bell and Taco Bueno by a large margin.

    Living 360 Organics is actually a pretty solid option for those looking for a healthier option.  They have Smoothies, wraps and Acai bowls.  This is also by far the best people watching as it is inundated at lunch time with MILFs in yoga pants.

  2. 1 tsp of powered sugar soaked with 5 dashes of angostura bitters and a splash of water - stir to combine/dissolve

    2 oz of good rye

    rim the glass with a slice of orange peel and drop it in along with a cherry if I have one.

    I like either crushed ice or the large iceball then I enjoy the changing flavors as the ice dilutes the whiskey

  3. The last couple of times I've played I've done this:

    Pass line max odds with two come line bets and max odds.  If the table gets hot I'll add a third come line bet

    I have abandoned the strategy of place bets, but to each their own.

  4. Still trying to find time to get my second solo x-country done, Hopefully gonna make a Midland/Austin run  with a stop in the middle somewhere in the next couple of weeks.

    Also, I'm excited to possibly get some right seat time in a king air next week.
