  1. Wife and I snuck off last week for a couple of nights. We used to go twice a year, but with kids and other life things, we haven't been in years, so it was nice to get back. We also got to dba one night to see Treme Brass Band, always a good time. Outside of Domilises, we didn't hit our usual spots (Jacque Imo's and Cochon), but decided to take some suggestions from here to try some new things. In order of favorite: Mamou - Thanks to @We’reTexas, we went here. Even our friends who live in New Orleans had never heard of it and they are pretty plugged in. It was everything he said and we loved it. The cassoulet was the highlight and the risotto was terrific, but the rest was great as well. They need to up their cocktail game a bit IMO, but the food was top notch. The manager (I assume. Her name is Molly) came by and asked how we heard about them and I told her about this board. She seemed confused, which is understandable. La Petite Grocery - Our first stop in town and it was very solid. The blue crab beignets were great as were the biscuits. Justine - We enjoyed it, but not as much as the first two. We felt it was a little under seasoned, particularly the scallops, but my lamb chops were very good. We had Vieux carres at the Carousel Bar right before, so we just did wine at dinner. Really good wine list. Another great trip with great food and drink. Looking forward to next time.
  2. Is YouTube TV still the play to move off of cable (AT&T Uverse for me)? Or is Spectrum stream good?
  3. If they're going to do that, they need to show them when things are going poorly too.
  4. Timme hooks all the damn time. Never called.
  5. They’re insistent on making college basketball a worse product.
  6. That’s either a tie up or a travel. Can’t be neither.
  7. No hustle from KU there. Their PG is killing them.

    The Wire

    We used to build shit in this country…
  9. The bridge scene is top notch filmmaking. Cameron is probably the best action director ever.
  10. Why aren’t we going Disu and Bishop at the same time? We did that a bunch during the Big XII tourney and we are getting killed inside.
  11. All of that time for inconclusive evidence. They have to put a timer on these reviews.
  12. Agree. I have noticed that when two guys are running for a loose ball, they let the contact go. I hate it when no one has possession and they just decide who a foul should be called on when players are both hustling.
  13. Caple got fat. Was he eating all of those bags of money he was running for Coach K?
  14. Achtung Baby is better than The Joshua Tree.
  15. Same same. I’ll basically watch the movie again in YT scenes.
  16. Probably my favorite line. So well delivered. I really wish Cusack would write more. This and High Fidelity are two of my favorites. Both are so well written and the music is used impeccably. You’re a handsome devil, what’s your name?
  17. Tuning in late. What’s up with Timmy?
  18. “Instead of trying to force one of the world’s richest men out of town, Mr. Ambrose said, “we can make him be a good member of the community and be a good neighbor and follow the law. And that, to me, is worth the effort.”” Jesus Christ, these people have no idea who they are dealing with. Incredible.
  19. We have definitely outplayed them today and great to see we finally got one to go in.
  20. Sounds like this will be the last season. Probably a good idea. It’s not built to go on forever.
  21. I went to an early screening with little knowledge of what it was. By the wedding singer scene, the crowd was going nuts.
