The movie you just watched
This movie eluded me until yesterday. Recently listened to the Herzog episode of WTF Pod and sought it out. Worth the investment of time. If you haven't seen it, go in cold, then read about it after. Mind-boggling filmmaking

Texas Getting Michelin Star Ratings in 2025
El Califa de Leon. Named in honor of the great bullfighter, who was the grandfather of a good friend from college. Not to be confused with Califa tacos, which is the hipster CDMX torchy's analogue but slams

On a similar note, Western Addition, which owns Il Bracco and Balboa on Post Oak, was started by a group of former Hillstone's group people. A buddy I went to high school with is part of the team. We went to the soft opening for Balboa and enjoyed it. Il Bracco has become a regular spot for us.

New Orleans Food and Drink Thread
Taking our niece to New Orleans Louisiana in a couple of weeks to celebrate her recent matriculation from college. It’s her first time so we’re doing more tourist stuff than usual - voodoo tour, ghost tour. Sunday night reservation at Commander’s (surprisingly, I have never been), Monday night probably a port of call burger (rip yo mama’s), tuesday tentative for Compere Lapin. We ate there last trip and it was finominle. Good enough to go back, but I am willing to take a swing on something else if anyone has had their mind blown by a meal in the Crescent City latelyi Targeting Cochon Butcher, LPG for lunch. BreakfastsTBD. Staying in Garden District

The movie you just watched
Fantastic film with a turrible script. I've had "I Can Dream About You" stuck in my head for a while because it's on the in-store loop at HEB. Love this movie. It's a shame it bombed and the Tom Cody trilogy never got made.

The movie you just watched
Been a fan of the theatrical release for a long time (owned it on VHS!). I wasn't aware of all the drama surrounding the production and the firing of the director, Brian Helgeland. He was later able to release the director's cut which has some significant narrative and stylistic departures from the theatrical release. Can't say it improved an already great film, but it's worth a watch. It's on Amazon Prime presently

we saw them doing some sort of kick off event in one of the Piazzas in Florence and I was utterly perplexed. This explains- The Italy Thread
We have just returned from our trip. I am going to need a few days to collect my thoughts, but suffice it to say we had a wonderful time. 2 full days in Florence, long weekend in Rome (with palm sunday at Ninfa Gardens/Sicily-Rome American Cemetery/Anzio), and 4.5 days in Napoli. More to come as I curate the 1600 photos. Napoli was as incredible as I’d hoped. If you are only stopping through en route to Amalfi/Capri etc/points furthet south, you are missing out. We booked a food tour through Culinary Backstreets that I can’t speak highly enough about. I will gladly seek out their offerings in other cities, and wouldn’t balk at doing the tour in Napoli again. Pos rep to PW for some solid recs. The margherita at 50 Kalo on our pilgrim route to Virgil’s Tomb was a masterpiece of simplicity that will live in my dreams until I die. Butter chicken at Sostanza in Florence will be something I feebly attempt to recreate for the rest of my days. Lmk if any of you assholes has an olive grove I could use a steaming hot cup of octopus broth right about now.- Where to go in between London and Amsterdam
Haarlem- In and around Madrid, Spain...things to do?
We visited Escorial and Segovia. Both were great. In Madrid, I recommend the Museo de las Americas. It's basically all of the plundered antiquities of the new world. And a very enlightening exhibit on race-mixing. And shrunken heads- What are you listening to right now?
