Texas BBQ
I just realized that it was last Monday that I drove by thinking it was to go only but they were actually closed (like they are every Monday).

2M, Truth or Louis Mueller would be good choices. I know 2M and Truth (in Houston at least, not sure about Brenham) are only doing to-go orders. Might want to see what LM is doing these days. I'm sure you could find somewhere decent to eat bbq outside in Brenham. Close to 2M not as much. Don't do City Market. I went recently and it was really bad.

I mentioned it passing above but Krazy Katsu is really really good. Had it again earlier. Whatever fried entree you get will be awesome and get the udon on the side.

Taco Bell getting rid of Mexican Pizza - I am outraged
Got a Mexican Pizza for lunch Saturday. It slammed and went hard in the paint except for the fact that Mexican Pizzas back in the day also (inexplicably) had black olives.

Taco Bell getting rid of Mexican Pizza - I am outraged
There was a hack where you could order a cheesy roll up and add pico and ground beef. But now they are getting rid of pico too. Wtf.

Technically the Montrose Texasdelphia isn't moving to the west side, which is owned by the guys who have the Texadelphia in the Vintage.

I've always preferred Sam's Deli Diner to Sam's. For cheap/old school Tex-Mex there is La Plaza on Bingle and Long Point and the two La Fiesta locations are pretty solid. West Houston restaurant talk not going away.

Yes, I used to live 2 blocks away before I moved south of 10. It definitely outkicks its coverage food wise. Great place to hang outside during the non summer months.

Finally made it to 2M Smokehouse last week. They aren't open for dine in but have two lines outside, one for text/email ahead orders and one for drive thru orders. Their process for text ahead order process is seamless and the line went almost as fast as chick-fil-a. Brisket, pork ribs, and Oaxaca cheese and serrano pork sausage were all outstanding, as were the street corn and cole slaw sides.

Agreed, the bakery and gelato at that NIko's are solid.

Also, Treebeard's, Masraff's, and Texadelphia are all gonna have pretty big bars. There's also the bar at the ZaZa which is pretty good.

There's a Niko's at 10 and 8 but Just GRK is better, albeit with a much more limited menu.

Yesterday, I drove by the building where Treebeards, Masraff's, and Texadelphia are going in and all three had a lot of work going on. Shouldn't be too much longer. As far as bars, there's By Popular Demand on Memorial, Kirby Icehouse on Gessner, Westchase Tavern, Radio Milano at City Centre. There's also a super laid back place in Spring Branch called Lazy Oaks Beer Garden that is north of 10, between Gessner and the Beltway that has food and a full bar.

I have a dual motor AWD Y, and it’s plenty fast.

Tesla
Technology wise the S is bit behind the 3 and especially the Y. There are rumors of a new Model S coming in the near future. Once that happens, you will see a big price drop for the current version. You can pay a few hundred bucks to update the Model S computer to the new version. If it were me, I'd try to buy a pre-owned one from Tesla. I believe you're in the Bay Area, so the Fremont factory is close and should have decent inventory.

Cape Cod, Nantucket, Martha's Vineyard
That's a convenient spot being close to the ferries. We liked Ptown>>MV>>Nantucket

Anyone ever do a Big Bend/Alpine/Marathon/Ft. Davis/Marfa trip in a Tesla? Looks like there is a supercharger in Ft Stockton and destination chargers in Marfa and Ft. Davis.

That might explain the Sam Adams commercial that has a guy working on his car in the background.

The bad thing about biotech in the covid space is that the market treats it like its a zero sum game. For example, last week Abbott got approval for a new Covid test and FLGT, a solid company with good revenue and supply chain for covid tests, craters.

Now can Tesla build a fleet of electric cargo vans to go with the semi and sell a bunch to Amazon please?

Klobasniky's
The last time at Hruska’s (in addition to pan sausage and kraut) I had a kolache that had Eckermann's sausage that was finominle.
