  1. Just a reminder... There's doing it for the memes and you think it's funny when it's not ("let that sink in" at TWTR on Day 1) and just being dumb as shit. This falls in the second group.
  2. I need someone to get me one of their hats...they have one of my favorite logos Out there with the beef rib. Honestly their style sheet is incredible.
  3. Couldn't be happier for Kubica to win but this was too funny not to post.
  4. I assumed he had more room on the track, but that would have been the most fucking impressive pass in who knows how long if he could have pulled it off, assuming physics doesn't exist lol
  5. Raise the floor a ton with the Troy guy very short term while not impacting the longwr term guys (Owens, etc) a la Garrett Gilbert
  6. SIAP. Good video breakdown on Arch
  7. It was showing the excellent driving by Piastri in the duel. He was late on the brake vs Norris, nobody is calling Piastri the last of the late brakers. I'm the last person here who is going to support Norris btw.
  8. Lando is just not as good of a driver as PIA. Obviously not as good as Max or Leclerc and honestly don't think he's better than George. If he can't beat Oscar in the same machinery does he try and take a leap to another car a la Danny Ric? Does he stick with McLaren? Either way, couldnt happen to a better guy.
  9. Also, saw this on tiktok and it's perfect: v15044gf0000d1687tfog65hh6q5n1ig.mp4
  10. The oner that is that episode is how my wife described her anxiety and is the one that made her quit the show. Too real. The appeal is that everyone I know who has worked in a kitchen says it's like that exactly. Not kind of like that but exactly
  11. I can't decide if I want him to be the greatest WR in the history of the program or for him to never play a single snap.
  12. What a great trip. Not just because of the weather...Great great trip. Long trip review. Dinner at Walrus and Carpenter was underwhelming, but oysters were incredible - as was the crudo. Needle and Thread was a 10/10 experience. Can't recommend it highly enough. Make the rez, go talk to them and enjoy it. Excellent hour of time there and wish we had more. No menu, just a talk with folks and they make something for you. Rockcreek was incredible. I did the sea bass that was probably the best fish dish I've had in years, although it comically came with two giant fistfulls of basil/parsley and another giant one of dill. Wife got a trout dish she loved. Probably the creamiest grits I've had in years also. Great dessert too. Edit: right now they have a spend 150 get 50 off thing if you use the inkind app, basically attach your card to the app and pay with that (it's connected via their POS system Toast) which works perfectly. Then delete account right after lol San Fermo was one of my favorite meals ever. Perfect weather. Sat on side patio, perfect caesar salad. We split the king salmon and the bolognese. Maybe the best playlist I've had at a restaurant, wish it wasnt private. Tiramsu hit the spot per usual. Taylor Shellfish Oyster Co was the best (hand cut) French fries I've had in a decade. Oysters were great too, po boys were decent. Tolouse Petit wasn't my choice but the apps were great (bread, fries, something else I'm forgetting), drinks were strange, everyone else's entrees were good (mussels, tuna tartare, scallops, crab) BUT it was the single worst steak I've been served at a restaurant. Bad cut of meat but cooked well. Best service of the trip, but shitty owner and chef whose an absolute insane person (google it.) again it's not my choice. Avoid at all costs otherwise lol Hit up Lowells for brunch when we got there and had a great seat by window. Wifes crab melt was 9/10. Mine was mediocre but you don't go there for the food. My favorite coffee drink ever from a shoo was from url coffee - the walk to work. Idk how they make it even better with simple ingredients but it's spot on. Awesome locstion. Worth your time to go. Tried a bunch of different cortados. Monorail was the best, followed by Anchorhead. Rest were decent (Vivace, Moonrise, Victrola) - Ghost Alley in Pike Place was terrible. Avoid at all costs. Wife liked the iced latte from Anchorhead the most. Hellenika Cultured Creamery in Pike Place was excellent and the best frozen yogurt I've ever had. Can't recommend it enough. Salt and Straw lives up to the comically high bar they have set. Also did Bainbridge and saw some orcas. Worth your time to go. Columbia Sky View is the move over Space Needle. Pioneer Square was a cool walk but can be super super super iffy any time that isn't basically noon lol. We did a food tour of Pike Place that wife loved, I've done one before and this was way better than that one. Fremont Troll was cool. Walking around Ballard was cool. Discovery Park is well worth your time. Chihuly was cool but not long enough for 90 bucks. Places we didn't go but wish we had: Local Tide for all seafood, Bar del Corso or Cornelly for Italian/pizza, Canon / Doctors Office / Foreign National for cocktails, Post Alley Pizza for best pizza by the slice in town, Volunteer Park Cafe for a BEC and to explore the park, Seattle Jazz Fellowship, Mopop, Kerry Park, Cafe Lago, Salumi or Un Bien for sandwiches. Found Lyft almost universally cheaper outside of ride to airport - we rode the monorail in and that's the pro move. Like 3 bucks per person vs like 60 for Uber.
  13. if there's one guy left in the business who would follow a recruit in the bathroom...he has to be very high on that list 👀
  14. Yeah, long story but chef / owner reportedly took another job with a restaurant development group in Austin. Shoot me a PM if you have any questions or want any specific recs!
  15. Both also did things significantly worse than anything Max has done on track.
  16. Thx. On the list. Any other spots you recommend? Staying in Seattle proper this time. Thanks though! Timing issues stop it from happening sadly Yeah this is what ended up stopping me. Rather have the ease of sky view, and not the issue with timing. Plus wife said she's rather have the photo w space needle vs be in it haha
