I’ve only been to Uchi once but the food wasn’t great and the service was below average. Uchiko has been awesome every time though.
I prefer Uchiko but definitely have had great meals at Uchi.

Come on, you have had a bad meal at Jefferey’s, Uchi and Odd Duck?!?!
I don't think you have to have a bad meal at a place, to believe it's overrated. For the pub and prices those three places command, expectations are going to be extremely high. If they fail to meet those expectations, then "overrated" would be a common, and potentially appropriate, reaction.
Personally I don't think Uchi or Odd Duck are overrated at all, every meal I've ever had at both has been outstanding. I haven't been to Jeffrey's in many years, since before the closing and reopening, so can't really comment on it in its current incarnation.

Rush - Exit Stage Left is one of my favorites. I had it on vinyl, but when I finally bought a CD player, it's the first CD I ever purchased.

Thanks guys, I should be able to handle that.
I've let my kids do the majority of the work on the new wooden headboard in the MCM room, and it's looking really good. It's almost done (well it is done but I need to do some finishing touches) and I'll post up some pics when that's all through. I also have pictures of a lighting fixture I made out of a slab of live edge black walnut, and a few other things I've built around the house.

how do you get the consistent crust all over? mine is usually speckled from salt/pepper flakes and less like one solid crust.
Put on a lot more seasoning. Also, I add paprika which acts as a carrier for the salt and pepper, and creates an even denser bark. Also comes out a little more mahogany rather than meteorite black, which I dig.

I wish you had a similar crusade against your very namesake - years ago, and not all that many, Brisket (and BBQ) was "cow leftovers" that were cheaply spiced up and smoked. Shit, you could get a pound of them thar cheap cuts for 5 bucks. Nowadays with all the explosion 'round here, BBQ is way too fucking expensive and nowhere near "handheld (or at least "scrap partz ) grub" core values.
Yeah yeah do it yourself but sometimes you just want to get a quick, good bite of 'cue, but it's the same thing as tacos... years ago I could go for a nice plate for like $7-$10 - and that's with at least 2 sides. It's all getting "nouveau riche." Fuck all of that bullshit. Cheap meats 'posed to be cheap meats.Skirt steak, too. I used to buy it for $.79/lb regular price, and $.59/lb on sale. That was 20 years ago, but it wasn't 60 years ago like a $.10 cheeseburger or something. That's inflation of around 1000% in 15-20 years. Just crazy.

There shouldn't be too much friction in the Senate. One of the things about the house was that, while many Reps have breweries in their district, something like 100 or so, did not. Meanwhile, EVERY senator has a brewery in their district, which should help make the case for their constituents. Still, never underestimate the fuckery of BIG DISTRO.
Yes, unfortunately big distro is also in every district, and they've been buying off politicians for a lot longer than craft breweries have been fighting for their rights to party.
Still, this finally seems to have some momentum behind it. I'll cross my fingers and whistle past a graveyard or something.

Umm, Veracruz (at least the the trailer, can’t speak to the brick and mortar) has some of the best tortillas and one of the best tacos in town in the migas.
People like it, and therefore someone else feels the need to take it down a peg. That's basically the entire point of this long and stupid thread.
However, it does bring the lulz, so carry on surly curmudgeons. We'll all get off your grass while you let your rant hang out.

Steak on salad is delicious!

Yeah, they haven't gotten their shit together yet, I don't think I'd bank on it ever happening.
Unless Tavo got involved, then it'd be done by next year.

meh. we used to have a LASA thread on shaggy. this thread deviated to a discussion on austin high schools which included LASA. didn't want to start a new LASA thread so it seemed like a good place to put that video.
I hear ya, but this thread is also about homicide, so... maybe a new thread for LASA and/or Austin area high schools is in order--one that's not quite so murdery?

Seriously, though, I think a big part of that was incessant airplay on certain stations. Post-disco, I took refuge in punk, new wave, and learning my way around 70s "classic rock," all of which is pretty much objectively better than 70s-80s arena-prog-glam rock.
That said, I can generate a tiny bit of nostalgia-like for some of it.
There is nothing objective about this opinion. I enjoy bands and tracks from all of the above, but none is "objectively" better than the other.

Is that place even "rated" enough to be overrated?

Kids were shot in or on school grounds 3 of the 4 years I in High School.
It didn't make Dallas metro front page.
A decade later Columbine occurs.
Guess what color the victims and shooters were at my HS.
Magenta?
No wait, chartreuse!

All licorice sucks. It's like eating a flavored candle.
I'm mighty fine with licorice in the form of pastis, anis, sambuca, and absinthe.

I'm about 98% certain most surlsters can't handle this. The stoopid blue laws were actually a reprieve, a respite, for the normal people, to help withstand the onslaught of drunken depravity perpetrated on the masses by surly posters.

There'a a certain percentage of the population with weird, mutated taste buds, that perceive the flavor of cilantro as soap.
I pity those sad losers. Fat, drunk, stupid, and tasting cilantro incorrectly is no way to go through life, son.

Friday morning, Cedar Park. Was surprised to see the entire theater was available.
Probably one of those additional screenings that was recently added.

Agree. And the beef tinga chile relleno with chipotle sauce.
But everything else on that menu has gone downhill dramatically over the past 2 decades, and it wasn't that great to begin with. I also agree with those that are shocked at how dirty that place has become- speaking specifically of the North Star here, I haven't been to Central or South in many years.
