  1. Bola, a local Austin product sold in teh frozen pizza section at HEB and Central Market

  3. I imagine that the owners could go to the Cafe and “request” that they add the enchiladas.
  4. George C. Scott as Gen. "Buck" Turgidson was a genius stroke of against-type casting, and he played it perfectly.

    It was the “Y” branding iron
  6. And don’t forget migas, enchilada casserole, Frito pie, pork green Chile, jalapeño sausage and biscuits & gravy. Buffet is < $20.

    The Ken Forkish method is idiot-proof. As an idiot, I can confirm:

    Welp - No more High West I guess...
  9. “Does Danny suck or does Corby suck?”

    Shit. Constellation owns High West? Means I can’t drink it anymore. I hate Constellation because of what they’ve done in the wine industry in Napa, especially the issues with trying to claim “To Kalon” as their own.

    No soup for you! Or the old GM Steakhouse on the Drag
  12. Oh — if you want to do the sandwich/picnic thing, avoid Oakville Grocery (crowds). Try Soda Canyon Grocery on the Silverado Trail just north of Napa, or, in St. Helena, Sunshine Foods or WF Giugni
  13. Agree with the comment above on Pinots. You can drive to Carneros and get pinots if you want. There are a few places that have Pinots in Napa, but not a lot. I would rent a car. Uber is in the valley, but I don’t know the situation these days with the virus. It also takes them a while to get to you in the couple of times I’ve used it. Suggestions with your request for a “view” in mind: Chappellet (great views from a high point). Easy to get to off the Silverado Trial. Stop by Krupp on the way — good selection of wines at various price points, nice winery with a good view. Up north toward Calistoga — Jericho Canyon. Be sure to ask them if you can do the ride through the vineyards on a Gator. Close by is Sterling. I personally don’t like their wines, but if you want a view that’s the place. Seven Stones also has a magnificent view. It’s cab only, very small production. They are going to expect (though not require) you to buy a 3-pack at $200/bottle. It’s worth the price. There are also some places with great views on Howell Mountain. I recommend Arkenstone. We haven’t stayed in the town of Napa In years (we stay in St. Helena) so not much help on restaurants there. Yountville has the Thomas Keller restaurants, Bottega, and Mustard’s just up the road. I do recommend lunch at Addendum if it is open — Keller’s small chicken and bbq shack. The fried chicken is amazing. If you are up near St. Helena at lunch time, Farmstead is nice, as is a place called Market (great food, very much a “locals” place). Lots of great places in St Helena for dinner, but I don’t recommend braving the checkpoints to drive that far for dinner. If you do, Press (steak), Brasswood (Italian), Goose & Gander, Market and Farmstead are all excellent. Oh — grab a burger at Gott’s. There’s one in Napa and the original in ST. Helena(this location is better). Yeah, it’s kind of a “touristy” thing to do, but the burger and fries are really good.

    The reviews online look great. Really bad?
  15. This. And the 3-2-1 really works well. I use Squeeze Parkay (doesn’t burn like butter can), agave and some brown sugar.
  16. Once early December, onWe’ve stayed a couple of times north of Tucson at the Ritz Dove Mountain. Early December once, late January another. Great that time of year. Can’t imagine what it’s like now, though Austin is pretty miserable for the next week as well.
  17. AustinMT replied to blacklab's topic in Austin
    Definitely a top 10. If this was Austin pizza 1986, I’d put Conan’s up near the top. But it’s not, and it isn’t
  18. Yeah, I complain about the “humidity” in Austin (live here), then I am reminded of real humidity when I go to Houston (grew up there)
  19. Brisket leftovers are definitely perfect for repurposing, and as you say you can do a lot of different things. I’ve come around to think that if you are just reheating the meat and eating the meat without repurposing (say, a few slices of brisket you’ve saved in a ziplock v. A ziplock of properly-cooked pulled pork) the pulled pork holds up better. Still prefer brisket
  20. They need it to go through neighborhoods like the ice cream trucks used to do. Adults will be running after it
  21. What varietals and price points, and what town are you staying in?
  22. AustinMT replied to RPM's topic in Movies and TV
    Scenes from next week look good: Cowboys v . SAMCRO
  23. AustinMT replied to Buzzrock's topic in Food and Travel
    Odd. Never had that issue going to 203.
