  1. Bringing a 10+ crowd into French 75 is a terrible idea. Sazerac too, now that I think about it. If you don’t want to trek over to Frenchman I’d say do Carousel Bar and some dive bars near by like Absinthe or Chart Room.
  2. Galactic at Tip’s or Juvenile and Mannie Fresh at the Saenger.
  3. That is exactly the comment I expected from DWS, holy shit that’s great.
  4. What are prices like in desirable neighborhoods in Seattle proper? Took a gander and blown away at what $1.5M gets in Queen Anne gets you compared to…anywhere in the Bay or LA.
  5. I’m sure he got advice on this but I imagine the Franchise Tax Board will go hard after him based on they acted during the IPO boom. Gonna ask our tax guys, pretty interesting.
  6. If I-10 is a shitshow around Baton Rouge, it’s easier to take 90. This gives you the opportunity to eat at Spahr’s in Des Allemands, an institution. Or you could hold all the way to New Orleans for Mosca’s.
  7. Yep, and the Gris Gris chef, Eric Cook, is a great dude. Going through hell with the city on his other restaurant in the FQ right now so definitely go support him.
  8. San Francisco is 75% SFH and the BoS is fighting like hell to keep it that way. That’s why it’s the most expensive city in the US.
  9. You realize most of those places are bastions of NIMBYism that have had very little development for decades and the motivating force for initiatives like HOME, right?
  10. Man I just can’t muster up the courage to go back after the hep c outbreak.
  11. To be fair, old people are technically not the future of anything.
  12. Yeah, that place has changed a ton over the last decade. 6-7 years ago Polly brought in the Boucherie folks to do the food, and she just retired and sold to the Blue Oak BBQ folks last year. Beer list has gone downhill but the heyday of the beer bar was a decade ago anyways, still a LGD and Mardi Gras morning staple.
  13. They got arrested and their cars towed, impressive effort but APEC was the wrong time to fuck around.
  14. Link’s other spots, Herbsaint and Gianna. La Boca is an institution for steaks. Also, hear me out: Emeril’s. His son took over last year and put in place a tasting menu with the goal turning into a Michelin-level destination. They just reopened after a full renovation. Haven’t been and don’t know anyone who has, but I’m curious.
  15. Yes, I was able to go back in December and it was fantastic. Full disclosure, the owners are friends of ours and this is a shameless plug. But, they just made the NYT’s Top 50 Restaurants and Bon Appetit’s Best New Restaurants lists, so they are doing something right.
  16. What’s the rent/own ratio in the area? In HCOL areas on the west coast it much, much cheaper to rent. I only say that because inventory is shit right now so unless you’re seeing stuff you really like it may be better to wait.
