  1. Watching Tom's facial expressions is the only redeeming part of this season. His disdain for these chefs is palatable and for good reason. They have no creativity or advanced skills to pull of said creativity. Just bad luck of the draw.
  2. I live in Pennsylvania. The Dickey’s here probably is better.
  3. A coworker was in Houston this week and wanted brisket Monday. I didn’t know he was there and he didn’t asked my opinion. He went to Demeris. This was his tray as it was handed to him. I’d have demanded my money back and a word with the “pitmaster.”
  4. This past weekend we saw Cabaret, Enemy of the People, Mary Jane and Uncle Vanya. Cabaret is kinda a mess because the role of Christopher is a fucking horrible actor choice that takes everything away from the show. The pre-show stuff was a clusterufck too. Jeremy Strong in Enemy of the People is worth admission, just like Rachel McAdams in Mary Jane. MJ isn't the strongest play but she does amazing work and I think she deserves the Tony over Sarah Paulson (although Appropriate is a much, much better play and should win for best revival). I loved, loved, loved Uncle Vanya but you have to like Chekhov and dark plays probably to fully get/appreciate it. Steve Carell was good but William Jackson Harper stole that stage. Damn was he impressive. Had dinner Friday at Ci Siam. It was good but really, really salty. Brunch Saturday was a little place called Sonnyboy off Essex that was pretty good and a nice, casual vibe. Our usually between show stop Saturday at As Is for a few beers and some pretzels and fries. Sunday drinks at Valerie. We're up next in July to see Stereophonic, Illinoise, Oh Mary and something off broadway we haven't decided on yet (we've seen every other show on Broadway playing).
  5. The hubris to make risotto on Top Chef is very, very high.
  6. Are there any battery operated ones that warm the water? Have a toilet I’d love to have on but no power near and the water is cooooold here in PA out of the pipe.
  7. Losing your crew is an impressive feat of shitty driving. And Vinny needs to be beaten.
  8. If Ryan Reynolds ever approaches you with an investment opportunity, leap. That dude is Midas.
  9. Belle and Sebastian last night in Philly. I think it’s my 14th show to see of theirs dating back to 1998. Always a lovely dance party. IMG_2298.mov
  10. Worthy + Maholmes = improvised greatness
  11. My boy Trey Owens is better than Bo Nix.
  12. Bo Nix at 12. hhahahhaahahahahahhahaha hdhskakkksjahhahahahahahahahahhhahahahahahhahahahahaha
  13. Atlanta, without defense since the Civil War
  14. I’ve been out of the football loop. Did Sweat’s DUI do anything to his draft status?
  15. Well fuck him too then. Let’s hope cops show up with the same vigor at the next Texas school shooting. I’m not counting on it.
  16. Fuck the state authorities who sent in the cops. Cowards.
  17. 1) Rotating QBs means you have no QB. It never works and hurts your existing QBs. it prevents development and systemic flow and timing. 2) Arch isn't leaving for $$$. Everything about his family, his recruitment should show you this.
  18. If you’re in town may 3-5 we’ll be there and I’d be happy to buy you a drink between shows.
  19. Like I posted with EP1, it’s not the Amazing Race since they barely travel. There’s a reason they skipped airing this season originally.
  20. Tom looks like he wishes he left with Padma.
  21. It's the worth the obscene cost. An incredibly fun and drop-dead gorgeous country.
  22. Torchy’s trailer park queso or whatever it’s called is legit great and those who disagree can fuck off.
  23. I remember when Texas was a decent baseball program.
  24. Every time this thread gets bumped I get my hopes up he died. One day I won’t be let down.
  25. I want a new white UT hat - the one I have has the state of Texas in burnt orange on the front and a star where Austin is. Nike made it but apparently no longer does. Any cool white hats (can have an orange bill) out there other than the Nike one with the logo on front?
