  1. I'm no business expert, but I can't understand why someone wouldn't just double the initial investment -- build a second food truck, serve a different part of town.  It's likely a survivable mistake if it doesn't work out.

  2. So we ended up trying Los Pinos Jalisco last night.  It was good.  I'd say it leans a little more towards interior Mexican than Tex-Mex.  My wife had some mushroom enchiladas that were terrific.  

    It's basically a repurposed pizza joint, so don't expect ambience.  We ate outside on their patio.  It's nice, but you're sitting by a parking lot.  

  3. I have a feeling this isn't their last release.  I've read a bunch of interviews about the recording process, and how their producer pushed them back into a live-in-the-studio process.  They seem to be energized.

  4. Rumor has it that Azul Tequila is moving from their cursed Dry Creek location to the old Double Dave's on Mesa.  I hope so.  They can cook, but every restaurant in that location smells like mopwater.  (Interestingly enough, so does El Mercado on north Burnet.)

    Looking forward to trying Los Pinos Jalisco at 360/2222.  I'm hearing good things.  I'm hearing not so good things about Que Divino Cocina on Greystone.

    Love the line about atm having veto power on Texas joining the BIG. 

    Well, it makes sense.  A&M is the big fish in this scenario.  If they don't want little brother tagging along, they should be able to make sure it doesn't happen.

    'sips need to learn their station in life.

    In the early 90s I could get a pitcher of Shiner Bock for $3.50 and drop that huge 14% tip to make it an even $4.  

    Our go-to was multiple pitchers of Shiner Bock plus either Sheriff sammiches or nachos.  I cannot fathom how much beer I consumed there.

    It’s not even about whether he’s good at in game decisions, that’s such a small amount of what the job is. Him being out of the dugout for a couple games just isn’t a big deal at all. 
    His mindset was to get his say in and fire up his team, which was the right mindset. Just because that ump made a really weird decision on a seldom used rule doesn’t make DP the problem here.

    There are plenty of things to beat DP over the head for, this just isn’t one of them.

    DIsagree.  Let's move on.

    When banging guys they think are billionaires? I could see them forgetting.

    Max chance, 6/28 = 21%.  On the pill and skip one?  Chances are essentially nil.
