  1. We went a few weeks ago. I pretty much agree with your assessment. It's certainly not a destination restaurant, but if you're in the area -- we were going to an ACL taping -- I suppose it's OK.

    Italian

    Yup, same chef/owner. Can't wait to try it, the original was one of our regular joints.
  3. Does he endorse anything? I admittedly don't pay much attention to NFL football, so I may have missed it, but to me he comes across as dumb and as charismatic as a box of hammers.
  4. Can you explain this (or point me to a post where it's explained)?
  5. Has Sushi been posting on surly all along? I honestly hadn't thought of him in maybe 10 years.
  6. Personally, I'd just serve the beans on the side. Historical records tell us that's what the Chili Queens of San Antonio did.
  7. Broad brush calculations regarding Americans of Puerto Rican descent: we are told there are 500K living in Pennsylvania. Let's assume 75% of them (375K) are of voting age. Let's assume 60% of them (225K) were already going to vote, a similar proportion to the national numbers in 2020. That leaves 150K pissed off people who might now be energized to vote in the swingiest swing state of all. Now, surely all are not registered to vote, but Biden's margin was 80K in 2020, so it's probably significant, regardless.
  8. In case anyone cares, Mehdi Hasan is a naturalized citizen of the US, born and raised in England, and attended Oxford. He is Muslim, which apparently was the angle Gidursky was taking when he implied Hasan is a Lebanese terrorist. Maybe they all look alike to him?
  9. It's really astonishing to see the FAFO-ism playing out in real time. They're so used to hinting the quiet parts that they don't realize when they step over the line. Oh well, bitch.
  10. They lost and dropped from #25 to #26. Doesn't seem like a big deal.
  11. Not much of a photo, but a damned fine tortilla soup. Yesterday I riffed on chicken parmesan by baking boneless skinless chicken thighs topped with homemade red salsa and grated asadero and cotija cheeses. I also made rajas con queso (onions, roasted & peeled poblanos, Mexican crema and asadero cheese). Two kids failed to show up, so I had 4 thighs left along with a few poblanos. I took some homemade stock from last week, added the diced chicken and poblanos, some yellow onion, roma tomatoes, garlic, cilantro, the usual seasonings, and topped with tortilla strips, avocado, cheese and crema. Tasty.
  12. You know, even if the Trump campaign does not approve of the comedian's schtick (nudge nudge, wink wink) . . . the crowd did.
  13. Nothing. What would be weird is if his margin of victory were to drop from +15 (2020) to +5 (2024).
  14. I don't care nearly so much about how hot it is or how long the heat lasts as I care that we are persistently short on rainfall.
  15. Days since last game against UGA
  16. Holy shit, that's a double bill for the ages.
