    The last couple times I’ve been to Twisted Root I’ve been a little disappointed. Doesn’t matter how many toppings ya got if the patty is dry and flavorless. Jakes is still good but only the OG down in lake highlands. The one in Frisco sucks. Village Burger bar is consistently above average and we keep it in the rotation. A new discovery that was dam good is the Dirty Burger Bar in the Colony by Austin Ranch. Will return. Admittedly haven’t tried LA Burger or Liberty Burger yet.

    Good to hear.  The seafood place next to Dirty Burger is solid.  Lot of hot female ass around there too.

  2. My wife has finally seen the light and is fully onboard with getting her LTC.  I had previously gotten her the 9mm shield in hopes she would eventually want to carry but she has trouble with the slide.  We looked at several other options and decided on the Shield 380 EZ.  What are some good holster options for women?  She's looked at the few that I have and doesn't like them.  I've got the Alien Gear that I use daily and a couple of other kydex ones.  She thinks those are too bulky.   Help!!

  3. Is the Batch proof worth the price tag?

    I like it a lot. I haven’t fully decided if it was worth the $$ yet, there are cheaper ones that I like more ( OF 1920, 1792 FP, Blanton’s,etc).
    But I’m not upset at spending the money on it.
    It’s a solid pour.

  4. Started tonight with a glass of Blood Oath and now on a glass of 1792 FP. 1792 is hands down the better of the 2. It’s fast becoming one of my faves. About halfway through a Total Wine store pick, once that one is done, I’ll move on to a Goody Goody pick and compare the 2.

  5. Anyone else not a fan of Stagg jr? There’s about 40 cheaper bourbons that I like significantly more. 

    The one bottle I bought I didn’t like, traded it.
    I absolutely love higher proof stuff but the stagg was just too much heat. Overpowered everything else about it for me.
  6. Opened the Michter’s 10 tonight. God damn good bourbon.
    The hint of licorice surprised me though. I normally don’t like it, but I do like hint of it you get in a Sazarac. The first sip of Michter’s was reminiscent of that. One of the smoothest bourbons I’ve had in awhile. I just wish the finish was a bit longer. But I’m really really glad I got a bottle. Going to savor this one for awhile.

  7. Bowman SiB is getting harder to find. I've read a few pretty high profile reviews comparing it to Blanton's, so I assume the Blanton's hunters have pivoted to Bowman. I disagree with the comparison. Bowman reminds me of Hancock's Reserve with a hint of salt. 
    I have pretty high hopes for Full Proof. It's a cheap, high proof bourbon from Sazerac/Buffalo Trace. I believe it's older than Stagg Jr and a comparable proof. Fingers crossed Full Proof is in the same neighborhood. 

    I’ve got a couple of Goody Goody store picks of the 1792 Full Proof. It’s really good. I like it better than stagg jr. it’s around the same proof but not nearly as hot.
  8. Heads up for DFW folks, Total Wine off of Park and 75:

    The Woodford Batch Proof is good stuff.
    Haven’t tried the Makers yet.

  9. My Samsung LED DLP is still going strong at 10 yrs but is no longer our main tv, did replace the dlp chip when the screen went snowy about 5 yrs in, but got lucky, girl I used to date is an engineer at TI and she was the one that designed the chip holder. She got me a replacement for free and even came over and replaced it for me. Glad that relationship ended amicably.

  10. It's pricey. I picked mine up for $110. Reviews are pretty good. 
    If it generates some goodwill at your local store, I'd go for it. 

    I went ahead and picked it up and by doing so got moved to the top of his list for EHT Four Grain if he actually gets any. Said he talked to the rep today and there’s some in the warehouse but couldn’t guarantee they would actually get it. Fingers crossed.

  11. Harper 15 is really good. Only small negative for me is it’s a little short on the finish. But that’s probably only because I prefer higher proof stuff now.

  12. I picked this up yesterday.  Haven't tried it yet.

    Great stuff. Haven’t had a EHT I haven’t liked.
    Currently have the SiB, Small batch, rye, and barrel proof. Really want a Four Grain. Fingers crossed I come by one.
