  1. Damn, looks great. How does the heat compare to Whataburger spicy ketchup?
  2. She does know she can get an expensive vacation without signing up for some rip-off timeshare deal right?

    Hahaha Whenever I’ve been with him, he definitely wasn’t acting like a pastor or preacher.

    Yeah I know that dude. Looks kinda like a gorilla.
  5. No doubt. Struck me as always having way more questions than answers. And when he did try to be authoritative, it came off as fake/weak. Didn’t seem to have much control over the team…players, coaches or other. In fact, Dak and Parsons looked like the only ones with a whole lot of intensity. I know can’t judge by one episode of HK, but that was certainly my read.
  6. Episode 1 last night. Always well done. Has just enough cool factor to be worth the watch.

    Looks like more trouble for Drake's. Another $1M lawsuit plus others to come. DMN paywall...
  8. Our favorite spot in the city. The only place we have gone to, and will continue to go to, every trip to NY. It's magical.
  9. I can neither confirm nor deny that. But, hypothetically speaking, if it was/is, I don't think simply changing the name and remodeling would change that. Hypothetically.
  10. Stone too hot is the obvious short answer. Everything I learned when I got really into this (during early covid) is that the grill is really the wrong device for cooking pizza. It has more to do with the shape and all the room on top and heat escaping from the grill than the stone. It's pretty well documented if you research proper techniques for cooking pizza. To get it right, the pizza should be cooked very hot and fast. Just ball parking numbers by memory here (because I'm too lazy to look it up), but a 700 degree cook should be done in about 3-5 minutes or so. But that's with 700 degrees everywhere, not just on the stone. That's why pizza ovens and regular ovens work better. You load from the side and the temps on both the bottom and top (called the lick in a real pizza oven) are pretty close to one another. So, the stone at 650-700 degrees was probably close to the right temp, but the rest of the grill will never be close to that given that you have to open it up to put the pie in, check on it / turn it, and take it out. You lose that ambient heat really drastically. That's why you had to cook it 12 mins to get the toppings cooked, which is way too long for that hot of a stone. I'd bet if your stone was 700 degrees and your grill was around 550 at its peak during the cook, the ambient heat of the grill was actually averaging somewhere around 300 with opening and closing throughout, plus that heat was never very close to the toppings, while the stone probably held closer to 700 throughout. That's a huge temperature discrepancy. So, the problem isn't technically your stone temp, well it is, but it's a little more complicated than that. The problem is the rest of the temp. To get it right, you need to figure out how to keep both temps closer to one another. Probably the only way to accomplish that on a regular grill is to get a kit that holds heat in more like a pizza oven, something like this... That will get the top heat and the stone closer to one another and keep that heat close to your topping, which is correct. Then you can cook the whole thing in around 5 minutes with probably one turn, as that front part will be cooler than the back, so the turn is needed for even heat distribution. Otherwise, you need to have your stone cooler by a few hundred degrees, then you can cook it closer to your 12 minutes, which isn't as desirable.
  11. Damn. Had some great times there over the years. Feels like another little slice of Steve just died.

    Anyone try Slices yet? Keeps popping up on a few sites. Owned by a (supposed) former mob guy. Which might be all marketing and schtick. https://www.slicesusa.com

    The couple times we tried Pie Tap it was pretty meh, but location is handy so I guess we’ll give it a go.
  14. Yeah but sounds like it’s just for the real estate, not for the business. So it’s closing. Probably tear it down and put in another bank, or emergicare, or some shit.
  15. Also known as retirement. Said on the ticket yesterday that he sold the real estate. Shutting down the restaurant because it’s too busy to keep up with and do it right.

    Had Bona last night. Solid
  17. Wonder if the first 2 can be combined? My entourage is 22 people total, so that would work. With the 10% off F&B, $110K is not a bad deal.
  18. What hotel you at? And you just want a Bloody Mary (or 3) between when you wake up and the game? Hotel bar. Or anywhere that’s open near your hotel that serves booze. Theres not a bloody or place in town that’s worth driving very far for an hour or two of pregaming to get.
  19. All right, show's over. I'm goin to the beach.
  20. Had to book kind of an emergency trip to Eugene, OR on AA this week. Against my better judgement, bought the trip insurance for the extra $100 (or so) which I've never got before. The language wasn't very clear on what all it covered and didn't cover, unless I wanted to keep drilling, which I didn't feel like fucking with. Hoping I don't have to report back to this thread to let y'all know how worked (or didn't work). /probable sucker
  21. If being able to afford a $70 necessity puts you in the surly 1%…this place really must really be a bunch of poors.
  22. Yeah, that's all very confusing to me. The CDC is now "recommending" masks whether or not you're vaccinated, bot not "requiring" them. And Nevada is saying they're following the CDC's guidelines. But, Nevada is "requiring" them starting Friday? If you drill down into the Emergency Directive they noted, it says... Well, to me "consistent with the guidance issued by the CDC" would mean they are recommended, not required...no? 🤷‍♂️
