  1. The UAW rep sounds scared shitless of the possibility they won't be able to wet their beak.
  2. Apparently the Little Pappas Seafood House was a test kitchen for new menu items. I am guessing their small footprint and the 50% capacity limitation did not make the math work for profitability.
  3. Barnaby’s did great there. Had to move because the lease was up and a new tenant offered to pay double rent (apparently MF Sushi if that’s what is goin in there). Barnaby’s was given the option of staying if they paid the double tent; they declined. We will see how well a high end sushi place does there.
  4. Damn, I sure do love some high proofs, but my poor liver...
  5. I feel your pain. She won’t use multiple boards, but she’ll make a salad or something with multiple ingredients and NOTHING is put away or cleaned for hours (dirty cutting board, dirty knife, package of lettuce, half used cucumber, half cut bell pepper, salad dressing bottle, salt, pepper). Boggles my mind. It’s like she thinks the salad will go bad if she took one minute to put the ingredients away.
  6. I had called my Specs contact to get a bottle of Taylor Single Barrel for a golf weekend. She said they got their shipment the week prior and they were put on the shelves, but that she would call around and find me a bottle and let me know. She never called and I just figured she couldn't find one. Fast forward a week and she calls and apologizes that she completely forgot about my request and said he coworker found a case of Amaranth in her office (she's been working remotely since COVID started) and offered me a bottle. The others were already spoken for. So, dumb luck on my part really.
  7. No, allocation. My specs contact found a case and hooked me up.
  8. I really like the Stags’ Leap Petite Syrah for around $30 as a good value play.
  9. Ha, I didn't wait until the next day, but my kids wanted chopped so I was happy to oblige with the dry flat. Everything worked out well. Now I've got parts of the flat and point left over for some breakfast tacos and perhaps some brisket hash in the coming days.
  10. DAF flat. It got better closer to the point.
  11. I did a brisket yesterday and it turned out pretty well, but the flat was a bit over and the bark on the ends was difficult to cut through. I didn't wrap this time because I was trying out higher temp cooking ~300 - 340. Thoughts on the tough bark? Also wasn't working with an ideal cooker set up: Webber kettle with a coal box and bricks to create a heat shield.
  12. Nice little blend with some filets tonight.
  13. This sums it up nicely.
  14. This is a perfect wine-prick post. Well done. (along with the other two of course)
  15. Gluten free, crossfitter, anti-vaxer? How would you like to drive criss country with that guy? You wouldn’t get a word in edgewise.
  16. I've not had it but it's a highly regarded boutique wine. Made by the Harlan Estate guys.
  17. I’ve rented a car the last few times I’ve gone. It’s nice to be able to hit some of the farther out golf courses without paying $100 each way for a ride. We headed out to Wolf Creek one year and I would not have done that trip without my own car to drive.
  18. Denny’s pancakes better than almost every other pancake I try. I’m certainly ashamed of it, but it’s the truth.
  19. Probably because our porous secondary makes his highlights look better.
  20. Yup, I noticed a stack of Bud Light bottle cases at the grocery store that were plain white and had a large "warning" that they were not twist top. Those cases are made to be sold to bars.
  21. Conspiracy: a secret plan by a group to do something harmful or unlawful The theory is originated in a lab is not a fucking conspiracy.
  22. Is it a conspiracy theory that the Chinese were researching how the virus acts in bats and they had shitty safety procedures? How is that a conspiracy? Seems more like negligence to me. DDD has a good point though: why do we care where it originated?
