    My favorite memory of the Hobby Building was right after they acquired it and, needing upgraded A/C because of the huge number of TDI employees they shoved in there, dropped a huge cooling unit right on the sidewalk between the south (adobe) building and 3rd Street because they're the State and can do what they want. You just have to assume that Stratus paid big bucks to get that eyesore moved when they constructed the W.

    Just wait until they finally finish the connection of Barton Skyway across the Creek!

    ftf82 replied to Jack Straw's topic in Austin

    Back in 21 I started making reservations at popular restaurants a couple of months in advance (3 or 4 for really difficult ones like Red Ash and Hestia). I just calendar the dates with a reminder popping up a week ahead of time. If we end up having plans I cancel since I know they'll be able to fill the table. More often than not I forget about it until I get the reminder. Helps that we're empty nesters and and most of the time I make the reservations for mid-week and not weekends.

    El Alma is fantastic. Suerte and Este are great too, but getting a table on Saturday night at this late date may be difficult.

    Talk about burying the lede. You need to expand on this! And I agree with ztejas. I've lived in the hood since 92 (20 years in West Lake Hills proper; shoutout to Mayor Anthony) and before that went to the movies at the building where the Mall Polvos is now (that was sliding down the hill into the Mopac row before being demolished), and it's always been known as being in Westlake. And while I haven't checked lately, Dillards used to own their premises in fee simple like they do in many other regional malls, so I assume that's going to throw a wrench into any redevelopment plans. And I'm really waiting to see what B&O do with Brodie Oaks. That's a cool looking project if they can pull it off.

    Back in the mid-90s, when Enchiladas y Mas was on the I-35 southbound service road just north of Dean Keaton, they had a portable tube tv in the corner tuned to the Rush Limbaugh show during lunch hour. First place I heard of Mega Dittos other than the 360.com board. That's all I've got.

    Just had the Los Primos plate. One relleno, one tamale, beans and posole. Outstanding as usual.

    I’m actually in Angel Fire right now. Was in Santa Fe Thursday through Sunday. Tons of food recs in Santa Fe. We did Tomasitos Thursday and the Cowgirl Friday (they also had a great band on the patio which was a plus). If you’ve never been you have to go to the Shed. I’ve also spent a ton of time in Taos and it’s worth a day trip but not worth an overnight except in ski season. Orlando’s is the best place in Taos for NM Mexican food. There’s also a cool local brewery with an outpost in town. And if you golf the Taos course is legit with great views of Wheeler. Since you saw Oppenheimer go to Los Alamos and check out the museums. And Bandelier is close by. And Madrid is always worth a stop

    I've eaten at most of the Austin ones, including the ones that are closed. Also, my wife's a Tri Delt, so there's that.

    Burgers

    ftf82 replied to ftf82's topic in Austin

    if you could combine C&A's burger with Dan's curly fries and Billy's beer selection I'd never go anywhere else again. And I'd die within 24 months.

    Do the Highpoints backwards and see how far you can get. My brother just did Mt. Sunflower in Kansas. He said it was a nice walk through a cornfield. https://www.peakbagger.com/list.aspx?lid=12004

    Pizza

    ftf82 replied to blacklab's topic in Austin

    Not really any onsite parking. The space is very small too. It's great for grabbing a slice for lunch or take out, but I don't know that I'd make a special trip downtown with a group to eat there. Particularly this time of year. When it cools down they do have outside tables.

    Tex Mex

    ftf82 replied to blacklab's topic in Austin

    I've always liked Maudi's saulsa, but it can definitely carry some lasting garlic. Maudie's may not be the best, but they do some things really well. Pete's breakfast taco and fajito taco plate are outstanding and Maggie's Plate is the perfect lunch.

    Matt's El Rancho

    ftf82 replied to Knoxtnhorn's topic in Austin

    Okay that's just silly. Barley Swine moving to a brand new space from that tiny, run down space on South Lamar had nothing to do with rent increases. I'll agree with everything else in your post.

    Tipping

    ftf82 replied to closetohumping's topic in Lulz

    It's my business and it's one check a month is why, just to have cash on hand. Including that check, I probably write 5 checks a month max out of my business account. I haven't had to reorder checks in 7 or 8 years.

    I'm self-employed. When my kids were younger I told them I paid myself $500 a month. I would write myself a check and go to my bank drive-thru with a post-it note on it telling them how I wanted it broken out ($50s, $20s, $10s and $5s) and then take the envelope home and put in the gun safe. Anytime we go anywhere where we need tip money I just go grab a few $5s and $10s). Use the $50s and $20s at Billy's or C&A.
