8/1, it’s time for the Hatch Chile thread
I don’t have much faith in our new Chicago Overlords. Have you noticed in the commercial about the burger with pico de gallo that the actor calls it “PICK-O?”

I pledge to post more pictures of this STEAK
So they are pricey, but Flannery's prices are better than other places. Thus cut was $68, so $34 per pound. If you want smaller cuts, they have then and sell them in different sizes and styles. For this cut=, the price per pound is About what HEB charges for their dry-aged at the places they have the dry-aging chambers, and Flannery is better quality and longer-aged. Snake River Farms sells a similar 32 oz cut for $99. Pat LaFrieda's similar cut is $82. And Allen Brothers has a different system where you have to order 2 steaks, but they work out to $55-60,lb.

Wilford Brimley RIP
Agree. Underrated. Lost the Oscar to Henry Fonda. Newman lost out, wrongly IMO, on so many Oscars before he finally received it for Color of Money.

32 oz. The rib bone in this cut (the “Jorge”) is small, so it’s a lot of meat.

Wilford Brimley RIP
He was in “Absence of Malice” for what, 10 minutes? And he stole the shoW.

Secluded winter getaway
Ritz Dove Mountain, north of Tucson. Great hiking, incredible scenery, and a great hotel. Very secluded https://www.ritzcarlton.com/en/hotels/arizona/dove-mountain?scid=ae239e68-8164-4448-9d89-99299045bd6c&ppc=ppc&pId=ustbppc&nst=paid&gclid=Cj0KCQjwyJn5BRDrARIsADZ9ykGIAj530phMuummQTDuT6xQy9loL6CaCc3M9dqol37y9PznPOZVHfYaAmmREALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds#DINING

Conan's Pizza in Austin needs help
Sorry to hear it’s gone down in quality. The old one back on 183 south of Lakeline was great, as was the one on 620.

If BaD Radio isn't on from 3-7 p.m. ...
Yeah. Notice I said “grew up there.” Got out and only go back occasionally. And before others start, I’m not a Houston hater. Great restaurants, great arts scene. Just not my choice of a place to live.

If BaD Radio isn't on from 3-7 p.m. ...
Yeah, I get it. That said, I think we tend to romanticize the older places. Jerry World is pretty plastic, and I agree with those that say you get distracted from the game because of the screen. But Texas Stadium was not Soldier Field, Arrowhead, etc. It was f***ing hot until the cooler months, and had bad air circulation, and did not have any great historical significance, so moving on was, to me, not a big issue. I agree you can debate whether Jerry World was the way to go, but I don’t have an issue about building a new stadium. Two other comparisons: First, I remember going to games at the old Arlington stadium. It was an intimate place to watch a game, but was hot. Stupid hot, and had bad concourses and bad food. When the new stadium opened, it was great but you know what? Still pretty miserably hot a lot of times. The “new” old stadium was a great stadium, but the retractable roof will be nice. Second, I grew up in Houston and went to a lot of games at the Astrodome. Great memories of going to games with my Dad, watching the scoreboard, etc. But you know what? It was a terrible place to watch a game, football or baseball. Like all of the multi-purpose stadiums built in that era, it had bad site lines, and seats at awkward angles. But it was air-conditioned, so it had that going for it. Which is nice. Really, I’m just at the point where it’s a lot easier and more comfortable to watch games (if we have any) on my TV, with my sound system, with better food and booze.

College Football in 2020 in danger?
Doubt it. I assume C-USA will also go to all conference, and they have 14 teams so would not schedule out of conference (which lineages Rice and UTEP). Sun Belt only has 10 football, so Texas State could be a possibility

2019-2020 PGA Tour
Was watching this while it happened. There was a root in his swing path and he was trying to find a (really lame) excuse to move his ball. What a tool.

Beef ribs
I don't disagree. The ones I di this weekend were prime. I did some choice about 6 weeks ago, and the photos are pretty similar and I don't recall there being any issues with the choice. I am convinced that prime brisket is better, however.

Beef ribs
Plate are ribs 6,7,and 8, and are the larger and more marbled ribs. I usually use the chuck ribs because they are easier to fond, and they taste great as well. Was just happy to see these at Costco.

They had some catchy stuff. “Overkill” and “It’s a Mistake” are both well-crafted songs IMO

Beef ribs
It was choice— no prime. In fact, the prime selection on the whole has been down at Costco recently. Will check the price

Beef ribs
They had the beef plate ribs at Costco today. Typically it’s been the chuck ribs there. Bought 2 racks for later

Bourbon
One last time, then I am giving up: 1. I am not saying it’s not good. I have no idea. Sounds like it might be good. 2. What I’m saying is that it’s not very “select.” And, honestly (yes being a food snob), I don’t associate Longhorn Steakhouse with anything “select.”

Movie theaters officially dead
Wife and I still go (well, went) to the theater for movies, but shifted a few years ago to the ones with recliners and full booze/food service. WIll still go to those, if they exist

Yellowstone
The Ponderosa was 640,000 acres, per Wikipedia The Ponderosa was the fictional setting for Bonanza. According to the 9th episode ("Mr. Henry Comstock") in the first season, it was a thousand-square mile (640,000 acre or 2,600 km2) ranch on the shores of Lake Tahoe, nestled high in the Sierra Nevada, with a large ranch house in the center of it.[1]
