We made Huge open a couple tonight. Had the Kentucky Owl 2nd, Boss Hogg, Hancock Reserve, 2013 George T; and a light snip of the Van Winkle Lot B (circa 2012?) Good times were had Edit: forgot the Midsummer Night's Dram and Elmer T Lee.

You've got to be pro-active. Fill your calendar for tomorrow so you don't run into the same problem.

New Orleans Food and Drink Thread
Restaurant R’evolution for dinner tonight. Amuse bouche Oysters (the two on the right basically tasted like a Bloody Mary). Death by Gumbo Raw Veg salad Ricotta gnocchi with lobster Lamb ragu with pappardelle Red fish with smushed potato. Might be the best fish dish I have ever eaten. Rib eye (boring), it was perfectly cooked though

This is correct and HouTex is also correct in that they do not suck.

Shit, dropped the ball and Achafalaya has been booked for Sat brunch for two weeks now. Any other recs? They do have a walk-up service at the bar but who knows how predictable that will be (flight leaves at 2:00 in Sat).

I used to love this, but now all I get is strong cinnamon. I almost can't drink it anymore... almost.

We arrive this Thursday. So far we’ve got Arnaud’s for dinner on Thurs night (I lobbied for Clancy’s but got vetoed), Patois for lunch Friday and R’evolution for dinner Friday. Not sure about Sat breakfast/brunch but suggestions are welcome.

It works well in a julep. The ice waters it town so you need the higher proof (IMO). Straight: it’s good and I don’t feel bad paying $50 for it.

Since the mint is thriving and I wanted to try this 1792 Full Proof I figured I should get some julep practice in before the Derby in May.

Buying an old house?
We did a total gut and added a second story so... a lot. The nice thing about our old house is that with pier and beam you aren't as restricted on where you can put plumbing on the ground floor as you are with a slab. This was after they put a new subfloor down; before that you could see straight down to the dirt.

- Buying an old house?
Ours was build in 1935. Wood was much more dense back then is seems. We had some issue with the foundation (pier and beam) and you'll have to eventually replace the pipes and wiring, but other than that it was fine. Not because the house was a problem, but we did a full remodel a couple of years ago and the exterior walls are about the only thing original at this point.- Airport Car Service
Well shit. Houston (IAH)- Airport Car Service
Anyone have a good car service/drive they use for airport pickups/drop offs? I used to have a guy back in the day that was great. He'd be waiting at pick up with a sign, was pleasant, and his car was clean and well maintained. I'd like something similar to that for some international coworkers who are coming in for an event. Before someone tells me to pre-arrange an Uber I want someone with the licence to enter the airport and with a vehicle I know is adequate. I don't want my folks to have to hassle with searching for their ride in a new airport after getting off 10+ hour flights.- Garage Ideas
