    Burgers

    Former law partner of mine got George to stay open on Monday nights to show MNF games. Couple of chili cheese dogs, a few Coors Lights and early 90s NFL games didn't suck.

    Burgers

    More burger adjacent than burger. But with the cool weather get to Billy's for the Frito Pie (-tomatoes/+jalapenos). Just had one on the deck. And outstanding as per usual.
  3. Mayfield DQs don't carry hot dogs in their inventory so this just pisses me off.
  4. BK (Brad Kellner). He was awesome.
  5. Las Palomas Billy's on Burnet Green Mesquite
  6. Corned beef is horrible. Beef should never be "boiled" in water. Only exception is warming up hot dogs when drunk.
  7. Exactly what we do and forgot to mention it in my post. Seeing the long line of Suburbans with Thules heading NW up US 84 as we drive home on the day after Christmas was also an ftf82 family tradition.
  8. Any of the mountains in Colorado or New Mexico are going to be a shitshow with crowds the week between Christmas and New Year. Twenty years ago we decided to start doing Christmas in Angel Fire when my kids were young. We would drive out the week before though. No crowds at all the week before (although sometimes the snow wasn't all that great, but hey it's New Mexico). Wake up Christmas morning and open presents and then ski Christmas Day afternoon. Now it's a family tradition and my kids want to do it with their kids when they are old enough to ski. Highly recommend that approach if it works with your schedule.

    Pizza

    Probably been mentioned, but Jersey Giant Pizza on 71 out by Hamilton Pool Road is very good. Stopped and picked one up coming back from Lake LBJ today. Outstanding as usual.
  10. Just had a nice 20 minute dump out at Lake LBJ. Looks like another one is coming, too.
  11. I don't even know why the scientists make them
  12. Yeah. Looks like the wifi doodad on my outdoor tv has shit the bad. I can get it inside. Time for a new TV!
  13. Thanks. But I'm in West Lake Hills
  14. Game's on Amazon tonight, right? I'm getting error messages right now with my Prime. Anyone else having issues?
  15. Supposedly the end result will be only one light between 183/360 (Capital of TX Hwy) and Bastrop after all the work is done. Only remaining light will be at Mopac/360. And sadly this is one of those projects that YGIFS would be able to post several paragraphs on.
  16. Is Herbert's still the place to go for Tex-Mex in San Marcos?
  17. if they're going to show the "Catch" they should show the onside kick recovery from the 72 playoffs
  18. Marble Falls DQ has steak fingers and tacos. Plus they made the national news with their sign about the eclipse. Also, the Bowie DQ has the best breakfast in Montague County.
  19. Anyone know what's up with the Deckhands in South Austin changing to Ocean Blue Oyster Bar? Menu looks almost identical to Deckhands still. Dan and Fran's breakup maybe?

    Mexican

    Not sure if this is the right place to put this, but went to Fonda tonight. We usually go there maybe once or twice a year. It's a freaking Austin treasure. My sister in law just moved back after living overseas for 12 years so it was a welcome back to Austin dinner. And it hit it out of the park. Wife and I are big mezcal fans and their choices are, well, so choice. And I can't go there without getting the mole, while wife and SIL got the ceviche and shrimp veracruzano. Parking sucks, and there's always a wait. But man that place is so good.
  21. Flights from Austin to Taos and Dallas to Taos starting back up this winter. https://www.kob.com/new-mexico/taos-airport-gets-8-2m-to-add-flights-to-texas-california/ Advanced Air will also be offering a few flights a week from Albuquerque to Angel Fire. https://advancedairlines.com/

    Burgers

    Another good option since you're in South Austin is Moreno BBQ. They have a couple of burgers on the menu in addition to BBQ, including a smash burger that is really good. Just noticed that they don't have beer/alcohol though.
  23. They moved last year to the new building constructed on the old Sullivan's lot.
