  1. I love Chicago foods but everywhere I’ve lived the joints typically opened by Chicago expats just dont cut it. So Portillo’s fills a void and I am glad we have in DFW now because it’s very good though not great. It’s like I might not eat at Rudy’s in Texas much, but had there been one when I lived in the Bay Area or Portland I would have been thankful for it. i eat at the one on Cooper about once a month. I have found that eating it there is way better than takeout. There are several things I get there that are really good. Italian beef is exceptional. I get it hot, sweet, half dip. I sometimes get it as the combo with an Italian sausage tucked in there but I’ve about decided I like it best as just a beef sandwich. the hot dogs are very good (I skip the tomato and pickle spear and double the sport peppers) but I usually go with the Maxwell Street Polish with sweet and sport peppers. the burgers should be great as they are charbroiled but both times I got them they were overcooked and ashy. next door are two awful joints. Jolibee weirdass philipino fried chicken and weenie spaghetti, and Nations burgers which suck. if you’re looking for other Chitown joints…Weinberger’s in Grapevine is a great Chicago deli and may be the best sandwich place in Texas. In Venus, Biundo’s has perfect Chicago tavern style thin crust pizza. They have the deep dish and red gravy pasta but that thin crust pizza is killer.
  2. Tell me about the Red Head Sauce. I love those redheads! for millions of dollars you couldn’t replicate places like this.
  3. Can a get a red draw with that burger?
  4. I live less than 10 minutes away from Hurtado and have eaten his bbq since his food truck. The brisket is great, love his tacos and different sausages. Those tortillas made with the brisket tallow will know your dick in the dirt. The cornbread is very inconsistent ranging from Texas treasure to hockey puck. I am concerned about his expansion and dilution of quality being a 7 day operation. i also live 10 minutes from Goldee’s, 225, Off the Bone, and soon to be Roy Hutchins. Where do I mostly eat? The OG…David’s. (Nephew of Sonny Bryan) Old school with a drive thru. Great choice brisket $20/lb. Fantastic ham and turkey $15/lb which I buy instead of deli meats. Ribs $16.99 /lb. (Typical old timey Texas ribs…not my favorite)
  5. I remember Dr No when I was 5. My parents took me and I was hooked. Secret agents were hot from TV and Bond movies in the 60’s. My favorite movie of the franchise is still On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. Would have been the top of all if Connery had played the role.
  6. Hunter got zero of his dad’s chops no matter how much he is heist into the spotlight. He’s terrible.
  7. Corby’s glowing review of the SNL 50 special was painful. He’s just a knobpolisher.
  8. Malt Shop, a drive in in Weatherford since 1958 was to be closed by the retiring owner, but she sold it to a local who’s going to refurb it and keep it going.
  9. It’s like they completely missed the concept of the marketplace which is the cornerstone of civilization.
  10. DQ is shutting a shitton of stores in Texas. I expect most will be either bbq joints with a soft serve machine, or taco joints with a soft serve machine.
  11. Most of these people have zero business being in a situation like this other than serving as a source of protein for others. They are mostly pussies or assholes. That demanding teenager would be traded into slavery to the Comanche or used as a sacrifice to the Gods. I’m waiting for the folks in the control room to start murdering one another.
  12. And grilled jalapeños.
  13. Help please. I have a work colleague going on vacation next week, 8 days in San Antonio. He has a bro/sis in law in Austin so they’ll go up there some and want to explore in between and into the hill country. He’s been a couple times on biz, wife never been. It’s been some time since we’ve been down as tourists. He knows River walk, Alamo, etc. that’s half a day. Any ideas for sights, days trips, restaurants appreciated. They eat everything from high end to low brow. Thanks in advance.
  14. The issue is Stephen. He’s been running the real roster day to day for a while. Jerry explained it all on landman. He bought a business he could run with his kids. Could have been a Rv park or a cheese factory or a football team. A family business with an unending stream of cash will not change will not change; I’ve worked for too many of them. He will excuse Stephen’s failings as part of loving his family. He feels zero fucks for the fans. He is too close to his players who are part of the family. He doesn’t look in the mirror and question the previous 30 years. ownership will pass seamlessly to the kids. They already own a chunk. Please God give Charlotte to strength to fire Stephen and hire a rock star GM.
  15. Most of the season the chiefs were awful at the run, with the 29th ypa rushing. How they won in spite of that is a credit to spags and Mahomes. Ravens and bills had to watch that saying how did we fuck it up?
  16. I generally don’t like “message” ads by corporations but the Dove spot late in the game rang home. That 3 year old girl looked a lot like my oldest granddaughter, she’s now 10 and loves gymnastics and is working hard. Her sisters 7 and 5 are both athletic and doing gymnastics and swimming. The message that 1 in 2 girls quit athletics
  17. The original was carried by Duke but it took liberties with the book and sugar coats the ending. Charles Portis wrote a grim dark novel with extraordinary characters and the last part of her rescue and epilogue is horrific and not a Hollywood ending. This one is far closer. I would have loved the remake as a miniseries.
  18. Brady’s losses had incomplete teams. Chiefs last night were healthy and complete. They were outcoached and outplayed. Why do championships matter? Because it’s hard to get there in January against the best teams, and take the pressure of doing it on the biggest stage. Chiefs collapsed this time. But if you cant run the ball it eventually bites you on the ass. pressure on stage is mental greatness. I’ve known great golfers until they’re driving with a gallery or putting for the win. Great guitarists that simply couldn’t get on a stage. The greatest QBs who go first round need stats and rings. Eli has rings but shit stats. Mahomes is first round if he retires today. No doubt. But his losses aren’t meaningless. both pats and chiefs are remarkable for winning dominantly in a league built for parity.
  19. I avoid halftime like the plague. It’s now just choreography that breaks the flow of the game for ads. Doesn’t matter who the artists are; the same drivel between the same complainers would be here. They could have had Louis Armstrong, the Beatles, Elvis and Hank Williams and some here would be complaining. id rather go back to Up with People, jetpack guy, and frisbee dogs.
  20. The show gets better as the floor evolves. The expert category is more defensive as folks avoid “hard” subjects and you lose your category as you take the category of who you beat. Last night a player won airport codes, last year a guy survived most of the season with Periodic Table. It’s about pressure as well as folks just seize on the dumbest shit.
  21. The issue for Mahomes will be the team around him and his athleticism as he ages. Tom was a pure drop back qb who depended on his mind, conditioning, and quick release to play so old. Pat is dependent on his legs and that goes away. How long will Reid coach? When can the line be repaired? threepeat? Bart Starr 65,66,67. Called his own plays in the huddle getting hammered in the dirt by deacon jones.
  22. He has always been completely boofood by Dak. A couple years ago he said at HoF induction he fully expected Dak to be in the hall of fame someday. I knew then we were forever fucked.
  23. They should have had Creed again. Like every year. all the music of Nola and it’s ignored. They should have talent from the area. Pringles with a commercial featuring mustaches after the Eugene levy eye brows. Food and hair don’t go together.
  24. The Fox 4K feed is shit. Switched to the regular and it’s much better.
