  1. Tried out Parish Barbecue that opened yesterday. It's behind Batch Craft Beer & Kolaches off Manor Road. A bit of a Louisiana flair. Got the two meat plate with moist brisket, pork rib, roumalade vinegar slaw, pimento cheese mac & cheese, and added a link of spicy brisket boudin. Both sides were unique and good. Brisket was seasoned well, but a little dry on one end. Boudin had a good flavor, but too much salt. Holden, the pitmaster, worked for several years at InterStellar under John Bates. We'll come back in a few months to see if they get some of the wrinkles ironed out.
  2. Kenneth Sims passed away yesterday at the age of 65.
  3. @Chewbacca there is another potential option in Hutto. BBQ Fiends is a food truck parked at a pretty cool brewery overlooking Brushy Creek. The website day open until 8:00 or sell out. I call first, but I'd choose them over Salt Lick or Rudy's in a heartbeat. I went a couple months back and was quite impressed.
  4. Nothing close by week be serving dinner. Stiles Switch in Cedar Park is probably the closest.
  5. I've never seen that many people at a Dynamo game. Messi is just as impressive on TV, when he's actually playing.
  6. 800 Contacts was always the cheapest for me. I bought a box from my doctor last time and spent way too much. Right now, I have the same prescription for both eyes which makes it easy to order.
  7. All-star game in Austin this year. I thought about going, but at these prices, my air-conditioned living room seems pretty good: Sec 121-127: $105 Sec 130-134: $210-226 200s East side: $143-160 300s: $160-182 Non-Lexus Club West side: $193 Lexus Club: $321-326 Field Club: $588-782
  8. Seems like a fairly small pool. How many British TV shows based on priest banished to an Irish island are there?
  9. *klobásník
  10. I said roughly. Considerably larger than Monaco, though.
  11. So roughly the size of Rhode Island.
  12. If you can't believe Professor Gwynthian Prins, Sir Richard Dearlove and Professor Angus Dalgleish, who can you believe.
  13. Never would have guessed Uncle Rico would be the through line for all seasons.
  14. Last year you could choose the local feed instead of the national feed. This past Austin FC game didn't have that option. Maybe only on home matches.
  15. Yeah. The feed isn't great. Some of the 1st team feeds are great either. I finally had to turn off the NYCFC game the other day - played in Yankee stadium with pinstriped touchlines and the wires crossing the middle of the picture. I'm so glad that Austin has a dedicated soccer stadium.
  16. I'll say this about the MLS Season Pass - I use it much more than I thought I would. Obviously for Austin FC away games, but I usually re-watch home games too. I'll watch a random afternoon game on Saturday or Sunday. I'll go back through most of the weekend's games and watch the 7-8 minute recap. If I'm home on Friday nights, I'll turn on the Austin FCito game.
  17. HEB crackberries are back.
  18. The most embarrassing thing about that story is when you admitted to using emojis.
  19. I think County Line serves beef back ribs which are much different than short ribs.
  20. Yes. And there are plenty of better places doing beef ribs now.
  21. Burnt Bean and InterStellar are my top two right now.

    So impressed with the defending. Biro was outstanding on the left and it was a clear plan for Gally and Owen double up Bouanga every time he got the ball on the right. I was concerned about Kolmanic, but most of the LA later attacks came on the other side. Should have had at least one more goal, probably two (Sabovic and Uzuni). I never would have believed that one goal would result in 3 points in this game.
  23. First episode of Dope Thief was strong enough to keep going. I like the two main actors.
  24. Hit InterStellar BBQ today. Arrive around 9:35 and was roughly 25th in line. About 10:15 the line was considerably longer. This was my first time since the Michelin Star. Not sure if this is the new normal or its a product of SXSW. Lots of groups. Most of my order was to go, so no pictures. I like to try the specials which today is the piri piri chicken which was amazing. Brisket, pork ribs, mac & cheese, jalapeño slaw, free charro beans, and peach tea glazed pork belly for dinner. Also grabbed a couple links of the 1963 polish sausage to eat on a future date with saurkraut. One of the guys in front of me literally ordered everything on the menu and not just a taste of everything. Two beef ribs with chimichurri, brisket, all three sausages, . . . pints of all sides and every dessert. I thought he was meeting ten other people, but it was all for him. Obviously he didn't eat it all, but he was trying a few bites of everything.
