What a miserable cunt. A&M should be ashamed of itself, but alas they are not.

Went to Crudo e Cotto on Friday (Mid Ln) after seeing it pop up on my IG feed. Authentic Italian sammiches, pizzas and pastas.
got two pizzas for the kids (good), 2 pastas (vodka and carbonara) both good 7-8/10. The real stunner was the mortadella sandwich (I got it without zucchini because I hate that shit) but holy fuck was that amazing. Instantly a top 3 Houston sandwich for me (#1 being the French House ham & Swiss on French bread, and #2 being an OG Regular at the two Antone’s spin offs near the med center).
Thanks for the review. It’s been on my radar for a couple of weeks. I need to get over there for lunch in the near future.
In other news, Chopnblok made the New York Times 50 best restaurants in the country list. I love that place.

If you want to be in a city, consider Mexico City.
Rent is cheap, food is cheap, tons of entertainment. They have Uber, subways and buses everywhere.
Roundtrip from Austin is 2.5 hours
High of 75F everyday.
How’s the broadband? Buddy of mine lived in Cancun for about a decade and his biggest complaint w/r/t working from there was unreliable broadband.

As others have said, John Wayne was a monumental piece of shit.

‘I believe in white supremacy’: John Wayne’s notorious 1971 Playboy interview goes viral on Twitter
It blows my mind that Orange County has his name on their airport along with a statue of him in the terminal.

On the plane back from my first Vegas trip in 12+ years. Spent three nights there. Probably did around twenty LV trips from 2000-2010.
The place is a disaster, hundreds of things went wrong to get to this point. But if I tried to succinctly sum it up, it’s that the casinos stopped giving a fuck about the customer. What used to be a fun, generous, and communal experience turned into “I literally don’t give a single fuck about you” attitude from top to bottom. Employees are miserable, bettors are miserable. The fun is gone. The joy is gone. Corporations destroyed it and Vegas will be a wasteland in 10 years without a miracle turnaround in customer retainment strategy.
My wife and I were having a conversation about Vegas a couple days ago after we saw that stupid new commercial for the first time. When we lived in PHX, we would periodically hop a flight up to Vegas for the weekend to gamble a bit, get a cabana at the pool and lounge, eat at great restaurants, etc. It was never a cheap weekend, but it also didn’t feel like you were being viewed as a rube whose sole purpose for living was to get screwed by the entire hospitality industry. It has been years since we’ve been back and we periodically talk about doing a weekend to relive old times, but then we realize that we’ll just be pissed off the entire time and it will ruin the nostalgia.

Buddy of mine was at the Rose Bowl show last night. He has also seen them in Manchester and at MetLife last weekend. Since I already knew he would say Manchester if I asked him which was his favorite, I asked him this morning which was his favorite between NY and LA shows and he said LA was the clear winner. He’s been sending me videos and from every show he goes to and they sound damn great.

On of our sons lives in Minneapolis and we've visited a few times. It's a great city and you don't have to go too far to get into some areas with gorgeous scenery. Obviously a lot of lakes. It would be on our list for sure.
MPLS is an awesome city. One of my best friends has lived there for 20 years and I doubt they ever leave. We love going up there to visit them in the summer. Great downtown, good restaurants, tons of breweries. Canoe trips on the boundary waters are an awesome experience along the US/Canada border.

Downtown steakhouse - Pappas, Vic/Anthony, Palm? Other?
Of the ones listed, I would pick Pappas every time. Adding to your list, I would throw Guard and Grace into consideration. I’ve never had a bad meal there and the atmosphere is more contemporary if you’re tired of the typical staid steakhouse.
