  1. Venison poppers… it’s going to be a nice afternoon.

    Crawfish

    That place used to be the barking pig, just fyi.
  3. Keller’s bakery is better, IMO. Obviously Olde Tyme is great, and easily my favorite po’boy regardless of location. Pop’s Po’boy downtown is also good, and they put a more modern twist on their many combinations. Don’s Seafood is pretty good for fried Cajun stuff, Dwight’s for crawfish. Judice Inn is an institution for burgers.. the burgers are small and they don’t serve fries but grab a couple of them and you’ll be a happy camper. For Mediterranean, Zeus on Johnston doesn’t look like much but we will get it for lunch just about every time we visit the in-laws. As far as nicer places, Charlie G’s and Social are both very good, and Cafe Vermillionville may be the nicest restaurant in town. We had our wedding reception there so I’m especially fond of it. I’ve got more but this should cover most of your bases.
  4. I bought a new 2022 Canyon Denali last summer and I love it. I’ve always driven larger SUVs (sold my wife’s hatchback and gave her the Pathfinder for trips and room for kids, etc), but even though this vehicle is smaller than what I’m used to, I don’t know that I’d even want an F150 or sierra 1500 right now. I work downtown in Houston so dealing with traffic is super easy, it fits in my garage, gas mileage isn’t bad, and I have more utility with the bed than I did with the SUVs. I wouldn’t mind a little more comfort in the back seats, but I only plan to haul my kids back there anyway. Anytime we need room for adults we’re taking the pathfinder.

    Help!

    I’m looking for a place to throw a 60th birthday party for my MIL. Ideally, looking for 20-30 people and being able to maybe reserve a room or something to have cocktails and appetizers passed around or ordered and set down or whatever. Looking for something in the middle of being not too formal but also not super casual. Has anyone done something like this before and have some guidance?

    Pizza

    Hmm, strange. I’ve had it multiple times, once even with it sitting out for a while during a kids birthday party. Even after sitting a while it was still surprisingly good. Maybe it was a location thing. Only good experiences with the one in the heights.
  7. My wife and I are basically high school sweethearts; I’ve had every king cake in that town over the last 15 or so years… Keller’s stands out as the best of the best even over some of the New Orleans king cakes a friend of mine sends every year.
  8. That’s what I figured. And don’t get me wrong, I love Meche’s, but it’s essentially a giant donut cake. If you’ve never had Keller’s in Lafayette I’d suggest you change that (they ship too, it’s just expensive AF) It would be nice to throw a Mardi Gras party with some local king cake to save some money but also not be Kroger or heb variety shit.
  9. Are you referring to Meche’s in Lafayette? We have some friends that love Meche’s (I don’t mind it at all and will never turn down a king cake From there) but the best king cake in Lafayette is from Keller’s, and they charge a premium to ship. I really hope you’re talking about a Meche’s in Houston

    Pizza

    No idea. I had some at my cousin’s kids’ birthday party and thought it was great, especially for having like 10 pizzas delivered, then had 3 delivered to my house during another event. If it’s that good after delivery I can only imagine how good it is fresh. Haven’t stepped foot in one of their stores yet though… but I’d they did by the slice I’d be all over it

    King Cake

    Is there anywhere in this city worth getting a King Cake from? We usually have my in-laws bring us one from Lafayette but if there’s anywhere here that makes a good one that would be great news.

    Not unique to houston but Zalat makes a goddamn great pie
  14. I think the stories you really want are all in @MaybeACoordinator’s thread he started the other day.
  15. Does Costco sell beef ribs or at I better off just going to HEB?
  16. Would you like to explain that to my wife?
  17. I really wanted - no, needed - tacos this morning after church. Velvet taco wasn’t open yet and the marathon bullshit kept me from getting to the Torchys on San Felipe, so we hoofed it over to the one of Gessner. Maybe it’s just that location, as I haven’t been to torchys in a good while, but holy shit they had actual good tortillas. Flour and corn were all handmade and not their usual Mission brand bullshit. Is this a new development across the board or is this location getting their tortillas from the HEB across the street?
  18. Jesus Christ, I have that guy on ignore for a reason. Y’all constantly quoting him is bringing his garbage into my screen through the back door and I won’t stand for it anymore.
  19. You just can’t listen to Justin Wells about anyone from East Texas. Dude is like a Westlake honk on steroids for dudes from #bEastTexas
  20. Big deal. If it were an NFL game they’d have a 5 minute smoke break and get back to it.
  21. Have been meaning to get another thermometer - was hoping my wife would e gotten the hints and bought me one for Christmas (was literally in a group of links I sent her as ideas lol). Anyway, themopop was just what I was looking for. Thanks.
  22. Double smoked the ham with some honey drizzled over it and some bbq rub. I never ate this growing up but my wife has me make it for her every year… darn it if I didn’t just turn myself into a huge fan
  23. Antipasto and wine first, then bolognese and tagliatelle for dinner with some homemade garlic bread. Smoking a ham and doing the cabbage and black eyed peas thing for dinner tonight.
  24. Listen, has anyone banned @Helobious from this board ???
