  1. Hattie B’s Hot Chicken is taking over Maria’s Taco Xpress. I don’t know how I feel about any of this anymore.
  2. Do you need reservations at Speakeasy? Taking my 24 year old kid in a few weeks and the Museum and that bar are on our list.

    Burgers

    I tried this recently and it's in the running for one of the best burgers in town right now. Just outstanding. Plus, I prefer waffle fries. Don't understandtheir business model at lunch on weekdays (basically dead). But I'll keep going.
  4. Holy shit. That’s like calling targeting in the end zone.
  5. And cricket is a gentlemen’s game, played by gentlemen and watched by hooligans.
  6. Any of you skied Andorra or anywhere else in the Pyrenees? Seems like it would be a great year to ski Europe with the Dollar doing so well. Have done Gstaad and Innsbruck (Stubai)
  7. Guy that owned the Burger Tex on Guad was a member at Onion Creek when I was in the mid 90s and played in the Saturday morning men's group. Great guy. Sucks that it closed down. One of the best burgers in town.

    Fried Chicken

    Bill Millers or tried and true KFC [original, not extra crispy). I keep hearing that Randall’s fried chicken is good but the two times I’ve tried it I’ve not been impressed. Austin really needs a Strouds or Eischens.
  9. Is Mason's any good? I've walked by it a time or two and seen very little traffic. Prices seem crazy even for (i) lobster and (ii) downtown.
  10. I disagree with others about Coopers. I think the downtown one is pretty good and the OG in Llano is some of the best BBQ around when it's on. Other places walkable downtown: Roaring Fork. Nothing like a hot kettle of green chile stew when it's 105+ on the sidewalk, but still. Polvo's in the 360 Tower (or whatever they're calling it now). Ranch 616. Haven't been since it reopened but it looks great. Favorite Pizza at 6th and West if you're up for a slice or two for lunch.
  11. I'll get the one at Green Mesquite on occasion. Along with a schooner or two of icy cold Shiner Bock. Sit on the patio and reminisce about WST Bluegrass band. Not a bad way to spend a lunch hour.
  12. Hill’s had both yellow and white gravy during the Cole era. You had to tell them which one you wanted. Never got it with the white.
  13. If you're in Oklahoma, go to Del Rancho for the steak sandwich supreme. Much better than the Sonic version ever was.
  14. I’m sitting on a deck on Lake LBJ drinking Dos X. And sweating. But all and all it’s alright
  15. I mean, I was just being polite and answering the question, @jimmyjazz heh
  16. Anyone know what’s going on to the old Jason’s Deli at the Randall’s anchored center at Bee Cave and Walsh Tarlton? Sign on the door says FC Domain LLC and they’ve applied for a liquor permit.
  17. That reference is to the Texas Chili Parlor @Ally
  18. Unrelated but does anyone know if they are going to be bringing back valet parking? We used it in March of 21 but last time we flew it was blocked off and deserted. They still have a sign for it as you drive in to the short term parking. It was obviously very convenient and not that much more expensive than other options for a weekend trip.
  19. His name is Paul, and this is between you all
  20. I worked at a small fast food chain in the boondocks of Oklahoma the summer after my 17th birthday. One of my jobs before getting moved up to drive thru cashier was making the refried beans. We would actually use fresh beans, sort them, boil them in a pressure cooker, drain them, dump the cooked beans into a large plastic tub and then refrigerate them overnight. Next morning, we'd dump them in large cast iron pots with a shit-ton of lard and mash that shit up good. They were absolutely delcious served in a paper cup with a little taco meat, shredded processed cheese and knock off Taco Bell hot sauce. It was 1980, dry and hot as shit (check the climate records; one of the hottest on record for the time). Nothing better taking a break when your hungover from drinking too many quarts of 3.2 Coors Light at the lake the night before than a cup full of that while sitting in the walk in freezer during your mid-afternoon break.
  21. USA to host the 2031 World Cup and 2033 Women's World Cup. ESPN Article
  22. Recently went to Vegas for 3 nights and hit up Julian Serranos based on a recommendation on this thread. Fantastic suggestion. Just an outstanding meal and great service. Question for regulars. For this trip I arranged casino credit since (i) table minimums are continuing to go up and (ii) I don't want to carry that much cash for the craps table. After a couple of rough sessions at the table the first night I rebounded and made enough to pay off all my markers and then some. What do you do with the markers when they give them back to you? Should you keep them in case they try to claim you didn't pay them back or just shred them? Sorry if this belongs in the dumb question thread, but I couldn't find any info online.
  23. The West Lake Hills Mayor race is today too. Complete with late filings, challenges to qualifications and Texas Supreme Court Mandamus. Small town serious business. Full disclosure: Team Anthony.
