  1. I have a Portillo’s near me so eat there occassionally. Is it as good as places in Chicago? Nope. Nor as good as Weinberger’s in grapevine but that’s 30 minutes away. And not as good as Biundo’s in Venus but I go there for the tavern thin crust pizza. But is it better than most fast food? Fuck yes. the Italian beef combo with an Italian sausage buried in the beef, sweet, hot, half dip is mighty fine. I like this in Chicago with marinara and provolone but this hits. Don’t like the burger but the hot dogs and Maxwell st polish hit the spot. becks prime is a burger joint not a steakhouse. I like it
  2. the little ticket is losing its edge. Lost #1 to a Spanish statio . the fan always has a big bump for Cowboys season but they are killing midday. Musers losing ground.
  3. Well maybe Dallas will have some money left when the stars and Mavs move out of town; or is the mayor still yammering about Dallas getting its own nfl team? It’s a pisstrough and that will never change without blowing it up and starting all over. Which won’t happen.
  4. I agree with you. Terribly miscast in Godfather; she was shrill and stilted and didn’t seem like the Kay of the book. I didn’t like her in many of her woody allen films but maybe it was because I do t like woody Allen.
  5. Guess you never went to a Greek church potluck/festival/wedding? Those were the best I ever went to. Incredible food, lamb on the coals, old Greek dudes pushing shots of ouzo. Just pure joy .
  6. It’s Weber’s. Always takes me back to my childhood. Root beer in chilled frosty mugs. I’ve been told about Ike’s and always intend to go there.
  7. I love watching him play. I like an RB that. wants punishes defenders for taking him on. He’ll figure out some preservation techniques. He can watch some king Henry film. Reminds me of Marion Barber.
  8. Have you eaten at the Coney I-lander? I gotta try it next time I’m in Tulsa unless it sucks. There and old root beer stand chili dog shack I usually go to. also that diner next to the hoot owl. Is that a real joint?
  9. Agreed and I think this is going to be highly complex and fun to watch how it plays out.
  10. Sorry I have to disagree on tripplehorn. She has to be a character on age close to the two brothers. But she always just exudes sex bomb to me, I guess going back to that scene with Michael Douglas decades ago. She looked mighty hot to me. But I’m old.
  11. DA upgraded charges to include a felony with 1-6, more could come as investigation rolls. Can he call a game from prison?
  12. https://gridironheroics.com/id-love-to-be-in-bed-with-his-mom-too-nfl-fans-lose-it-over-jaxson-darts-bed-sharing-habit-with-his-mom-and-dog/ ok so that’s how they do it in that family..,
  13. That Sunday gravy looks awesome, though I prefer it with spaghetti. I have several buddies in New Jersey who have sent me their nonna’s recipes. The differences are quite subtle but significant. Mainly due to where they came from in Italy, or from which neighborhood in nyc, or family preferences. all use USA red gold tomatoes. The differences are in use of sugar, how much basil, amount of garlic and onions, and assortments of meats. Always sausage, most whole links some peeled and cooked as loose meat. Spare ribs. Then the pork varies between shoulder, neck, and cheeks. One has trotters for the gelatin. I am fascinated with these my/nj Italian foodways and how they created a cuisine the world sees as Italian food from these starving peasants. Like various types of Mexican food
  14. You do you bro. It’s just a standard Campari tomato from Sam’s.
  15. He was probably stabbed with the plastic knife the door dash guy brings. Otherwise he probably would have been gutted like a carp. i would think the da might consider some more serious charges once they investigate. that driver gonna sign up racehorse Haynes or similar and get a big ass payday. can you imagine Sanchez sobering up and trying to remember your evening with a pepper sprayed face and stitches in your gut. “I did what????” He’s gonna be doing sports on a am station in a market like Paragould Arkansas.
  16. Thanks for pointing that out. Actually it’s 1 tbsp. I usually put in 4 large cloves of fresh garlic minimum, sometimes more. Theres also garlic in the ranch dressing powder. Like I said, adjust your seasonings how you like.
  17. Sanchez got stabbed,…and could soon be raped in the Indy city jail.
  18. Here’s another phone holder, it’s heavy duty as hell and has a ginormous base so it does mint fall off the windshield. I use it in my 99 SR5, and son uses in his 93 Excursion and his side by side. scosche magic mounts are killer products https://www.scosche.com/mxmswd2hd-heavy-duty-magsafe-compatible-phone-tablet-mount-window-dash
  19. Mecum will be in Ft Worth at Dickie’s Arena end of the month. Son and I go every few years and I’m planning on this one. Always brings lots of cars never seen as they’re in collector garages. If I hit the lottery before the auction I will do some Jay Leno style damage, otherwise I’ll just dream:
  20. It’s the same Texas resourcefulness that spawned Willie Nelson and Nolan Ryan. You should be proud. Perhaps a cold Rahr over the fufu water or a flagon of iced tea, but no deduction. I’m assuming that’s a styrofoam plate. Where’s my plate?
  21. it’s really easy. I might have posted it elsewhere. There was a place in Memphis we’d eat at as a kid that had this killer blue cheese dressing. Maybe I’m weird but I loved blue cheese from a very young age and the bottled stuff is crap. My dad got the recipe and it’s been tweaked thru the years. This is a base recipe that I tweak a bit each time based on the pungency of the cheese, the type buttermilk you use, and how sharp your lemons are. Typically I use the crumbled Bel Gioioso from Sam’s as it’s good for being cheap and it’s easy. I’ve made it with fancy funky types like Roquefort and Stilton and I prefer those in a salad with a vinaigrette. I have a market near me that sells Vollmans real full fat buttermilk and it makes a big difference in taste and texture as it’s really thick. This is very rich, and I want it with heavy garlic where it burns. So like it less and it’s a dressing to tweak with. I recommend folks start with less of the seasonings and add more of what they like. 8oz your favorite bleu cheese, 6oz Daisy sour cream 6oz Dukes Mayo 4oz Buttermilk, full fat if possible 2-4 Garlic cloves, microplaned or crushed 3 tbsp. Ranch dressing mix 1 tsp Granulated or powdered garlic 2 tbsp Lemon juice (start with 1, add to taste) Dash or two Lea & Perkins Worchestershire 1 tbsp Italian parsley, finely chopped 1 tsp fresh black pepper, more to taste Squirt. sriracha in the spirit of the thread keep it in a rinsed out Route 44 cup.
  22. Had a leftover burger patty from cooking out a couple days ago. That’s my homemade blue cheese dressing that will knock your dick in the dirt. Onion and a mater. those beans are what my granddaughters refer to as Pops’ Candy Beans. They are mighty sweet but also are loaded with jalapeños.
  23. In DFW, Fuel City still has incredible tacos. A few years back TM named it the best taco in Texas. the best restaurant in a gas station was Chef Point in Haltom City or Watauga. Fine dining chef couldn’t get a loan for a restaurant, could for a fillin station. Started selling fine dining that you ate at a table next to motor oil, and the drink selection was like a QT. Was an early Diners Drive in and Dives feature. a shell station reopened with a taqueria which was stupid as my Arlington neighborhood has three of the best around: 2 Compas, Tic Taco, and Gilberto’s. It closed quickly. has reopened as Rodeo Hibachi. It looks great and getting great reviews. Gonna try it and will report.
  24. I was raised on these as we lived as misplaced Texans in places without real TexMex. Usually a mix between the combo and the enchilada dinners. They didn’t have the salsa bowl in the middle until latter days just before the shift to plastic. the big difference to later versions: that aluminum tray. Microwave ovens didn’t exist. Eating a TV dinner required planning: a hour in the oven. But the result was far better: the beans had that crust you get from a salamander, the rice fluffy not gloopy, the gravy rich with little pools of grease.
  25. Is your wife pregnant? Only reason to eat a green thing .
