  1. I'd rather get a fax than crappy jpegs of a ten page document.  People that don't have access to scanners are worse than people that want to send a fax.  I got a fax last week as a matter of fact.

    Does anybody really give a shit about TM's top 50 any more? It seems like pretty much bullshit.

    It gives me a idea of places to try in different areas.  I know the barbecue joints in my area, but like to have a baseline when trying new places in the Metroplex, in and around Houston, and far flung places like Lubbock.  On the last Top 25, there were only 5-6 places I didn't enjoy and there were 5-6 awesome places I wouldn't have known about otherwise.

  3. TM Top 50 will be coming out this year, although later than normal.  By that time, I suspect that anyone who wants a vaccine will have gotten one.  The list will likely be the shot in the arm needed for the BBQ joints on it.

  4. Any one with experience with Colorado State? 

    Oldest Callo daughter is waiting to hear from UT.  She's been accepted to aggy, Texas State, UNT, and Colorado State.  Believes College Station is in the middle of nowhere and that she'd have to wear cowboy boots, so it's pretty low in her rankings.  Leaning towards UNT if not UT.  Some health type major but doesn't want to go to med school (really not sure what she wants to do, but had to choose something).

    Is there Surly endorsed pizza stone for an XL BGE? (Or is the BGE branded one the best?)  I'm thinking everyone making their own pizza would be something fun to do with the kids.  Apologies if this is mentioned somewhere else in this thread.  Preesh.

    I have several accessories from the Ceramic Grill Store, including half and whole ceramic stones.  All good quality.

    Fraud aside, loans to or equity investments in a restaurant are risky things. Losing 100% of such an investment doesn’t mean you got fucked over. That said, I am not aware of the facts surrounding the investments made by the posters here.

    People that open their own restaurants are crazy.  People who invest in other's restaurants are idiots.  YMMV

    Oldest niece just started at UT. What are the best joints close to campus? I’ve done Franklin and told her what to expect as far as that goes (long wait, excellent bbq).

    Micklethwait Craft Meats is about 3 blocks east of Franklin.  Looks like they are closed through the end of January.  I've never had a bad meal there and the wait isn't that long.  Food trailer, so dining outside.
