  1. Sorry, just saw this, but this place (Railway Cafe - Athens) is good: www.railwaycafe.net

    Well, it is definitely very cool and the whole family loved it. Town is really nice - stunning views, great weather, dog-friendly (to put it mildly) and nice people. Food highlights were Sidework, There, 221 South Oak, Sheridan and Brown Dog. Lots of good lighter stuff at carts on Main St., but would pass on Gnar Tacos (should've known they'd f up tacos in Colo). Visited Baked in Telluride multiple times and there is an awesome cheese shop, Over the Moon, right by it too. We did the Imogene Pass jeep ride, paragliding, hiking (Bear Creek Trail was our favorite) and mountain biking. Plenty of stuff to do, even without going fishing or being able to raft (not enough water). Will absolutely go back. Was sitting on the porch one afternoon thinking it had gotten kind of hot....it was friggin 75.
  3. This second match is so much more fun to watch than those two tall dudes banging monster serves at each other.
  4. Raz needs to give the damn ball up. Next time will be the first.
  5. Crap. Not the same with RF out.
  6. Anderson cranking serves

    Vail thread reminded me about this one. Great info above, but any other recs?
  10. Yep, it's hard to go wrong at Sucre. Same for Angelo Brocato. It's in my non-restaurant dessert spot top five for sure.
  11. Those Sucre macarons are like crack.
  12. Agreed on all of this. Peche is great...can't say it enough, get the whole fish. Upperline and Brigtsen's aren't quite as casual, but not super fancy either. Both damn good too. Alon Shaya had the well-documented falling out (lawsuit, settlement, etc.) with Besh. Besh still owns Shaya and have heard it's still good/the same. In May (I think), Shaya opened his new place, Saba, further up Magazine and have not yet been yet, but have heard it's good as well.
  13. Upperline is great and we always circle back to it. And yes, Shaya is damn good too...pita heaven. Looking forward to trying Alon Shaya's new one, Saba. Anyone been?
  14. Thanks, damn, this was worth reading. I loved Bourdain and was greatly entertained by his writing and shows. As for the TV, in addition to being a big fan of No Reservations/Parts Unknown, I also really enjoyed The Layover. I'm having a really hard time coming up with someone else that will be able to do anything even approaching the level of what he was doing.
  15. They damn sure hate us (and we properly hate them), but Fayetteville ain't a dump. It's really cool, especially compared to some of the regional out-and-out craptowns like College Station, Waco and Norman. Road trips to Ark would be fun as hell, especially while we pack their shit in their stadium.
  16. That's the deal for everyone out-of-state. Depending upon your grades, you get anywhere from 70% - 100% off out-of-state tuition. As a result of the good tuition deal and how hard it is to get in UT nowadays, there are tons of good Texas kids at Arkansas (other SEC schools and OU as well, sadly). Thought I heard Arkansas might soon do away with the non-resident tuition award, because they've had so much growth and it was such a sweetheart deal, economically.
  17. I have to admit, Fayetteville is a really cool town. It actually has some of the laid-back bohemian feel of Austin, or at least the Austin of years back. And, if you are into outdoor activities (camping, hiking, fishing, etc.), the surrounding areas are great and very scenic. Got nothing bad to say about the town itself and actually like it quite a bit. That said, f Arkansas football (and basketball - despised seeing their drooling hordes at SWC tourney at Reunion aka Barnhill South). When I was a kid, we hated those bastards almost as much as OU.

    Thanks for all of the great info everyone. Keep it coming.
  19. Never been, but headed there this summer and would appreciate recs on food, drink, activities, etc.
  20. Dear CDC: While we're at it, let's get Tulane back in the mix. We need to be in NOLA for a game every other year. Please, please. Regards, Texas Fans
