  1. I just ate a jalapeno cheeseburger sandwich at Crown & Anchor with two (2) Electric Jellyfish. Motion to reconsider.
  2. if we're just nominating our favorite sandwiches, then I submit the Del Rancho Steak Sandwich Supreme.
  3. My now deceased Mom was affectionately known as Grandma Sandwich to our kids and their friends, because that's all that she would offer to make them for lunch when she watched them. When I was growing up, more often than not she made this on white bread with Miracle Whip. And gave the rind to our dacshunds. I would still kill for one today, but my wife does the shopping generally and refuses to buy it.
  4. Club sandwich from any old school country club.
  5. Raining like a sum bitch in Horseshoe Bay
  6. Anyone tried the Dart Bowl Enchiladas at El Dorado and, if so, are they comparable to the original? Also, fwiw, the burgers at Big Lebowski at Highland Lanes are not close to the jalapeno cheeseburgers at Dart Bowl, so I'm betting that they're not (Big Lebowski uses sweet Hawaiian buns, which doesn't work for me).

    My current go to in Austin is Casa Garcias on Wm Cannon, but mainly because my wife loves their soup. If I’m up for a drive I’ll go down to the original Texican on Manchaca. And there’s never a wait at Santa Rita. I don’t think either of these places are as good as joints in San Antonio or Houston (or El Paso or Santa Fe for Sw Amex) but they’re pretty damn good.

    Julie's Cocina in Cottonwood Shores is very good gringo Tex Mex. El Rancho in Burnet and Alfredos in Kingsland are legit!

    Used to be a Rio Grande restaurant in the aughts where Vince Young Steakhouse is now and it did slam and go hard. That's all I got.
  10. Looks like from google search that was actually filmed at the old Centennial liquor store next to El Patio.
  11. No. That's the old Ballard's. I'm talking about the liquor store where Mitch buys a six pack to take back to the Emporium.
  12. Correct. And I'm not 100% sure but pretty confident it was the store where Mitch bought a six pack in Dazed and Confused.
  13. Two frozen margaritas with floaters at Lupe are your answer
  14. I had a slice at Favorite Pizza today for lunch next to Sammies. Walked back to my office down the Shoal Creek trail behind the new Whole Foods building between 6th and 5th. It was quiet. Too quiet.
  15. Canyon Cafe. My wife remembered it. It was really good. And yeah the HEB was originally an Albertsons. HEB took it over when all the Albertsons blew out in the late 90s/early aughts. I don't think there's ever been a Kroger in Austin.
  16. When the HEB center first opened (may have still been an Albertsons) the UFCU was a New Mexican style restaurant that was really good. Same problem that other restaurants in that area have though (e.g., Biedermans, whatever the place was before the take out Cava) in that the parking sucks and the location is hidden way in the back. We tried the new Lee's the other day and it was really good, but pretty pricey for what it is. And I didn't realize the Polvos Barton Creek was open. Their webpage still shows it as Coming Soon. We'll go there (my wife loves their shrimp veracruz). But we used to go there when it was the movie theater that was sliding down the hill into the Mopac r-o-w.
  17. Yeah I was just making a joke about sitting in Flower Child with no shame eating a double, double while WL housewives dine on salads, quinoa and cauliflower rissoto. If you're looking for a place to eat outside just drive down to Rollingwood Park or the far west side of Zilker across from the clubhouse entrance.
  18. Just take your double double with jalapenos across the street to Flower Child and eat it there.
  19. I had just started driving. Had a sweet 1976 lime green Camaro with white vinyl interior (underpowered 6-cylinder though). Was living in OK at the time and a few days after the explosion had a layer of ash on my car one morning when I got up to go to school. Also, @Gatorubet, Urban Cowboy was released a month or two after the explosion. Reason I know is that it was the hit of the summer and I took my then girlfriend to see it on one of our first car dates in my sweet 1976 lime green Camaro with white vinyl interior.
  20. SIgnage is up for the new Whataburger Digital Kitchen at Bee Cave and Walsh Tarlton. Apparently the first of its kind. The traffic clusterfuck ingressing/egressing onto Walsh Tarlton from there is going to be epic.
  21. You've left out (or I missed) a very important fact or two. Who issued or what contains the setback line? Also, your post says the shed is over a setback line and also encroaches on the property line (does that mean over the property line?). Setback lines are typically either by zoning, platting or deed restrictions. Property lines are, of course, based on boundary lines/legal descriptions in deeds. Enforcement varies depending on what is being violated.

    Este. Mexican seafood restaurant started by one of the owners of Suerte.

  24. Maybe he realized he wasn't in any condition to drive.
  25. HP12C calculator purchased with Xmas money in December of 1983 for college accounting/finance classes. Still use it to this day. Plus a bunch of old vinyl.
