  1. Tried a new CFS yesterday at a place called 35 & Main in Tivoli, and it was a pretty good one. No pictures because I actually didn't get the CFS. Wife and daughter shared an order, son got a half order, so I figured I could try theirs while also seeing what the burgers were like at this place. Would go for the CFS again without a doubt. Their toast is actually really good also. No fried okra, though.
  2. Are you to deny me the blood of christ (ketchup)?
  3. For me that'd be some version of Milanesa de Pollo, covered in ranchero sauce and Monterrey jack cheese. Have had it at a few places. Some serve it on a plate, some bring it out on the sizzling skillet with the onions and peppers. Either way is chef's kiss.
  4. Had this Mexican joint in Port Lavaca that would do brown gravy on their CFS and I'm here to tell you it was legit. A completely different vibe from your normal CFS, but it worked. Along with their hand-cut fries, of course. More people went in there for the CFS and fried chicken than their Mexican stuff.
  5. I don't know about mixing gravies, but I'll join you on the ketchup thing. It's not supposed to make sense, but it just fucking does.
  6. Well, you know, I don't think there's nothing wrong with going to the scrip club
  7. Yah, I don't think that Arch and Family Manning are under the impression that Texas is already at a place where the expectation is to beat Oklahoma, and damn near, if not, beat Bama also. I think that's one of the attractive things about Texas, that it's a place where Arch can go to create his own legacy.
  8. I think Gerry's just like anyone else backing off right now, kinda falling prey to the recency of it all. There's a reason you wanna get the last visit. People are legit talking Alabama now. Alabama was in 3rd BEFORE Holstein committed, and now all of the sudden they're really back in it? Or is it because the visit was just this past week, so of course that's where all of the "new" information is coming from? Then before that there was Georgia, legit as the competition comes for Texas. Texas hasn't had that last visit yet, so I wouldn't expect Texas to be separating themselves from the pack at this moment, and I'm not sure why anyone else would.
  9. tbf, we don't win a lot of our recruitments, whether they're exactly like Baxter's or not. A&M may or may not be a threat, and then you have the home state guys. But from everything we've heard, Texas has made up a lot of ground with the kid and is liking us. Doesn't mean he'll commit here, but also doesn't suggest it's time to accept he's probably not coming here.
  10. I don't think Baxter is a reach at all, so I'm not sure why it'd be time to accept that he won't be in this class, and am really not sure what new information would suggest that. Owens is the one I'm writing off at the moment.
  11. No one is saying it's a crime, but that it could be an NIL violation, whether they knew each other beforehand or not. That prior relationship status wouldn't mean diddly dick.... in a world where the ncaa had the balls to do shit about it.
  12. Never go to lane two. You'll be there for hours.
  13. The fries and fruit snacks were in the bag (kids strips are placed in a fries box inside of the kids meal bag). There were also two burgers and fries in the bag. I was also alone, and I did not eat them. That's a lot to not notice like 4 or however many chicken strips. Maybe should have caught the no gravy and ketchup part, though. Or how about just getting the fucking orders right. DQ seems to do it with their 1.5 employees. EDIT to add: I normally don't complain this much, because honestly I'm not a very picky person, and am rather patient. If they f up my order, I'm fine. But my wife is picky and my kids are picky, and especially last night they were tired and hungry af. You know how it goes: when they're not happy..... My real frustration is that for some reason my wife and daughter continue to want to go to Whataburger every time we bring up picking something up. I've learned. They haven't. At least my son is coming around.
  14. The deal is, for the kids chicken strips meal it's not the giant folding box, it's a bag, with a bag of fries and a fries "box" with the strips in it. The fries "box" the tenders go into was placed into the bag empty, along with the fries and their stupid fruit snacks no one wants because the cookies were fine. Also No gravys. No ketchups.
  15. The meat itself is good. Actually delicious when done properly. Get them tender enough you can pull the garbage out of it easy enough, but it's almost too much work. If I wanted to do that much, I'd eat crawfish.
  16. Went to the beach for a spell yesterday evening and were getting home late so we needed to order out. Kids and nephew voted Whataburger so of course here we go again. My son and daughter ordered the kids chicken strips/tenders or whatever. Got home and the tenders boxes were empty, and we had zero ketchup. I guess I should have checked the bags, but that was (supposed to be) a lot of food to go through so I took a chance.
  17. That's not a terrible point, but at the same time my local Dairy Queen, with far fewer employees, can put out better quality than Whataburger in nearly the same amount of time. It was the opposite over 5 years back. AND if I do wait longer, which will happen when they're really busy, at least my food will be fresh and I am not at risk of having a piece of fry jab through the top of my mouth.
  18. Last couple of times I've gotten fast food for myself I've gotten DQ and have been mostly impressed. The fries have been fresh and hot. The burgers have been decent. It's outperformed our whataburger for sure.
  19. I can kinda get that one, with all of the low-carbing and stuff. Back 12+ years ago when we'd close down the bars then hit Whataburger, I'd order what I called a "Whatachow." Just a Whatachicken with a beef patty on it, hold the tomato (Ch: chicken; ow: cow; Ch + ow = Chow). Sometimes they'd ask me if it needed to be on the side. But most of the time, they'd actually get it right. They can't even get a basic order right these days.
  20. I'm glad (nor not?) to hear that it's not only my local Whataburger that screws things up.
