  1. “Trainwreck: Poop Cruise” was a well done, cringy , not too long, documentary of the Carnival Triumph - the ship that lost all power in the Gulf, resulting in pee and poop flowing through the ship. Absolutely horrendous situation.
  2. Atrio’s rooftop view at the Parrocchia is better than Quince and the food is outstanding.
  3. What a shame. We did the tasting menu last fall and it was excellent. We were rooting for Georgie to get a star. It will be interesting to see what they do next. These chefs can be rockstars. And they have the same problems. Troubled chef is out at Georgie
  4. Excellent documentary. Everything about it was well done and the story is very interesting to me (Gen X).
  5. We are enjoying it. There is something relatable about all the characters and their relationship situations (even though, yes, they are all annoying) and there is a good balance between funny and cringy. Although I see the comparison to Big Chill for Gen X, I can't compare the two because of the music. Four Seasons understandably sticks to The Four Seasons rather than period music, which is a shame.
  6. That's what we pay for 2 dogs, with house sitting, watering and all that. We get texts with pictures every morning and evening. And by monitoring doors opening and closing, we can see how much time she is spending with them, letting them out, etc. And it's great.
  7. I live in North Oak Cliff, so..... Hugo's is a small seafood place in Bishop Arts with an outstanding cocktail program (two Hugos opened it: one the chef, one the mixologist). We have already been twice. Small, focused menu. Everything is fresh and the execution (cooking or raw) is well done. Definitely recommend. Pillar in the old Boulevardier space. It's very good food, but for those of us that loved Boulevardier, it just isn't the same. The oyster happy hour will always be missed. Mayor's House is already a favorite. Turkish food in a beautiful space with actual Turkish staff, most are very good looking. Jaquval is good and Trades next door is a great sandwich shop too. Pane Nostro also in Bishop Arts is very good, but basic Italian. It's nothing adventurous, but the pasta is house made, the service is excellent and the atmosphere (especially the patio) is very nice. They moved down from McKinney, I believe. Cenzo's. For you pizza lovers, this is worth a try. Great, chef driven pizza and amazing sandwiches. Family friendly lawn in a nice neighborhood spot in Winnetka Heights.
  8. Yes. We took it down about 4 years ago.
  9. Something weird is growing on my Zoysia. It started small and is growing like a fungus. My lawn guy called it “hongo” (fungus or mushroom). It is rock hard, as in it would take more than a shovel to even break it up. Any ideas?
  10. Pip was really good. The performances were great.
  11. Rec for Iguana bar was solid, for a nice evening out with wife. Dress up a bit. We just went for cocktails but the dinner looked good. After cocktails we went to Barcelona Tapas for dinner at sunset, highly recommend. Another good rec was Elixir Mixology Bar. Tiny place, LGBT, very welcoming with super friendly hosts. Perfect place for great cocktails and good conversation. Highly recommend. For an over the top chef's tasting menu, we went to Tintoque and it was awesome. Amazing atmosphere and service. Aggressive and interesting food based on regional recipes and ingredients. We loved it.
  12. I am all those things. It's a combination of claustrophobia and control issues. I am the type that can be in an small, enclosed place but if I can get out when I want, I am fine. I can be a large, open space but if I am trapped, I start to lose it. That happened when I was called to jury duty and had to sit in the middle of row, knowing that I could not get up and leave. I went to therapy for this a few years ago because it was become a hindrance to every day living. This included exposure therapy. She actually handcuffed me (in not a good way) and put me in the back seat of a two door car. It was awful. But I learned that all of this is really a false triggering of a flight or fight reflex that is inside of us. So, my mantra when it starts became: "where is the tiger?". All of that plus Lorazepam that I rarely take, but keep as a crutch just in case really helped. I can handle most things now and am fine on plane, but have to sit in the aisle. I still can't be in the far back row of an SUV without access to a door. I have not fixed that.
  13. Beautiful. What a man. So sorry for your loss. Sunday will 1 year since my dad died and I feel all of this.
  14. Bumping this. Looking for good tacos and interesting bars and places to eat in town. Any recent recommendations? We won’t be getting in a car for a long drive away from our hotel to see a waterfall or anything like that. I’ve done enough of that and just want to chill.
