  1. So just stumbled across the bottom part of the fridge of pre made stuff at Meat Shop and they have an inhouse ground beef of all the excess trimmings from all the Wagyu style cuts...

    Got a LB of it (11.99/LB) last night and made burgers and they were legitimately the best I have ever personally made (not saying much) BUT I would highly req for your next burger night at home.

  2. Pogo's here in Dallas has a killer Tequilla and Mezcal selection.  Andy Cody who is the spirits expert is a walking encyclopedia on all things tequilla and mezcal.

    Tapatio Blanco is my go to value drinker and have been a big fan lately of Siembra Azul.  They made a special 12th anniversary repasado and it is outstanding for the $.

  3. Bump...Headed there next week for our wedding anniversary.

    Leaving a 3.5 year old and 9 month old at home so 3 days of leisurely eating drinking and wandering sound incredible.

    Staying at the Rosewood and looking for a few lunch and dinner reqs and if anyone has done a cool cooking class/market tour.

  4. Tickets right now are the allotment that was offered to the general public.  Per the big 12 website:

    "Each participating university is allotted approximately 7,000 tickets, which will become available upon qualification for the championship and distributed by the respective participants’ ticket office. Additionally, 1,000 $50 student tickets will be sold only through the participants’ ticket office.

    The championship game will feature the two teams that finish the regular season with the highest winning percentage in conference games. The team that finishes first will be designated as the home team and occupy the South bench. "

    So there are gonna be a ton of tickets that hit the market Mon-Tuesday when the schools release there allotment.  Hold tight kids.  If WVU wins the market will get crushed.

  5. True that.

    Pretty good seafood on the west side of town. Hudson and Montlake my two favorites, and TJs for a quicker market feel.

    Still haven’t hit up Lovers Seafood yet

  6. Lots of ambitious plans here to include San Sabastian. We go to Spain every year and each trip we end up cutting it out because we want to spend much more time there than it would allow and it’s pretty hard to get to.

    Mad-BCN is made very easy with the high speed train (2.5ish hours) so keep that in mind.

    I love the southern part of Spain which hasn’t been discussed much. Sevilla is one of my favorite cities and Granada Is a place that will make you feel like you are in a completely different country.

    My best advice...you really can’t go wrong in Spain. Just treat your trip and planning that you will go back and hit up geographic areas to cut down on travel

  7. Has anyone used a turnkey service in the past that will come set everything up for you and take down etc? We have a great spot we rent from a company close by and everyone is getting to the point that a 6am wake up and hours spent setting up just aren’t worth it anymore.

  8. Does the TT on Inwood, f/k/a Simon David, still kind of purport to be a bit extra upscale?  I haven't been in a decade, at least, and it seems that TTs across the board have gone more or less upscale, but I have lost the basis of comparison.
     
    Anyway, fuck a Central Market.  I just want a regular HEB.


    Not really. Just a bunch of upscale folks shopping from the east, and some hood folks from the west. Odd combo.

  9. Shinsei is our go to (take out with a drink at the back bar lately)

    Did the new upstairs place at Uchi and liked the combo menu and ability to get stuff from downstairs

  10. Have not been, but I have a storage unit near there so I've driven by it a quite a bit.  Honestly, that always seems like a pretty sketchy part of town so I just kind of assumed that Blues Burgers place was probably just a dump so I never gave it much thought.  But, I just googled  it and the food pics look fan fucking tastic.  Will definitely give it a shot next time I need to go to the storage unit...which may be conveniently sooner than later now.


    My in laws were in town to see our newborn and my FIL had found it on some list on the interwebs as one of the best burgers in town....me and the wife were both like...”really...never really heard much about it”

    They went while I selfishly hoped on a flight to Austin for a day trip Bachelor party....a story for a whole nother thread.

    Wife is real picky and she loved it

  12. When was it's heyday?  The one time I went (can't remember what year that might have been), it was average at best.  Then when it closed not too long after (within a year or so), I assumed I wasn't the only one who thought that.  I guess they must have just started slipping.  And as you mentioned, the other two are still open, so there's that.


    Ever spent time in Spain? Casa Rubia in its prime was one of my favorite places in town. Si and Cafe Madrid are good options but a very Americanized menu. Casa Rubia sadly closed as a product of location. Si and Madrid May have the two of best foot traffic locations of any restaurants in the city. Sorry Lando man, don’t want to get into a cock fight here (you seem feisty lately) but I have literally been to 100’s of Tapas places in Spain and always try and hunt down the best in towns when I am on the road...Rubia was very very good
