    Yikes. I know shit like this happens at a lot of restaurants (at a lot of companies in general for that matter), but this hits pretty close to home. I used to have the plaintiff on speed dial before he left and we still go to Drake's at least once a week. All I'll say is...if that place has a discrimination problem, then every single place in America has one. It's one of the most diverse (staff and customers) places we ever go. From a staff standpoint, we personally know plenty of gays, women and just about every race under the sun. And from a customer standpoint, I (generic middle aged white guy) am often in the minority, and sometimes by a long-shot. Maybe all the shit he's alleging was happening before he left and Drakes has swung things the other way to combat it? Or maybe he's just a disgruntled employee looking to cash in? Who the hell knows, but sucks either way. Alleging Racism and Discriminatory Hiring Practices, a Former Vandelay Hospitality Employee Sues for $1M The suit filed by a former Drake’s Hollywood manager claims that the company often engaged in discriminatory practices aimed at its employees and potential diners.

    Dallas | Pizza

    Yeah, Bona has been really solid the last few times we've gotten it. Might just have to make that our go-to and stop trying other stuff. Not sure why I always get a wandering eye on pizza, but I do. Grass isn't always greener and shit. And yeah, ZaLat is out of our rotation probably for good. Pure garbage the last few times.

    Dallas | Pizza

    Had Grimaldi’s last night for the first time since the pandemic began. Holy shit it was horrible. Showed up ice cold so maybe that’s on GrubHub (not sure who to direct my scathing review at - probably both). Didn’t seem like it would have been worth a shit even if it was hot. Almost no cheese despite paying for extra cheese. Really bad slicing (one of the pieces was about ⅓ of the pizza). And really inconsistent topping placement, which all tasted really fake and processed. Felt pretty shitty after eating that garbage. May need to be done with all the delivery services for good though. Way more bad than good experiences with them and they’re getting stupid expensive. 2 medium really shitty 2 topping pizzas were $75 after all the fees. Eff that shit
  4. Maybe it was already explained, but if that's the case, why wouldn't aggy just vote "no" to kill it? Obviously not an option, otherwise even aggy would know they could kill it with one "no" vote and wouldn't be tripping over their own dicks like they are. Maybe I just haven't had enough coffee yet, but...Does. Not. Compute.
  5. Translation: "Texas is too smart for the SEC, but the agys have always been the perfect level of stupid to fit right into the middle of the conference. That's just plain and simple."
  6. ‘Don’t call me Deion’: Jackson State coach, former Cowboy Deion Sanders walks out of SWAC Media Day Sanders compared it to calling Alabama coach Nick Saban “Nick.”
  7. I did this once during covid quarantine (although not quite $500 worth) for a picnic in the park with some friends. So this post hits close to home. https://www.goldbelly.com/russ-and-daughters

  9. Welcome to working in sports in general. Work your dick off for very little pay with the dream of one day making it to the very select elite level that makes more than dick squat. The sports industry (media or otherwise) always has had and probably always will have a heavily engrained culture of...if you don't like it, look out that window because there's a line around the building of younger people wanting your job who are willing to do it for less money just so they can work in sports. Tough way to make a living and very few actually ever make it to the earning more than dick squat level.
  10. Hitting sports now too... Citi Field Staffed by Rival Phillies Vendors Amid Worker Shortage
  11. Fewer hours and blamed for less. And she's got several other punctuation/grammar problems
  12. @ChiTownDoc mentioning Per Se in the NYC thread got me thinking about this place. Chef was at Per Se for a while...and some other places. Been hearing good things. Anyone been yet? https://www.carteblanchedallas.com/
  13. Nice. Good to hear all the way around
  14. That’s not gonna be good for business. That’s not gonna be good for anyone
  15. That sounds like some good bet payoff shit with one of your white buddies right there. If you win, he has to binge an entire season of ATL Housewives in a weekend, if he wins you have to watch BH. Plus it’ll be a good exercise in cultural diversity. Everybody wins…or loses…depending on how you wanna look at it
  16. So, the general consensus is that this show is for wives, huh? I don’t watch it…good to know I may still have my man card intact. Because I will admit to watching some pretty gay shit on Bravo from time-to-time(nttawwt) Wife watches a couple of the California ones regularly. I tried a few episodes over the years. Just awful. Tried the Dallas one at the beginning because I thought it might hit close to home. It sucks sweaty balls so hard. Most of the frows on it aren’t even close to being “Dallas high society”. Not sure how they cast that thing. I keep hoping it’ll get canceled but they seem to keep trotting it back out there. It’s fucking embarrassing. I will get down on some Vanderpump Rules though
  17. I can’t guarantee it, but there is no way in hell they’re not letting you in with scrubs. In today’s world? I’d wear shorts and a golf shirt without hesitating. It’s been a while, but the last time I was there, I’d say “business casual” would be among the high end. Maybe it’s changed but I think you’ll be more than fine. If they don’t let you in with scrubs, report back so I can be sure to never give any of his restaurants another penny.
  18. Sounds like bullshit to me. With the 3 week window and then only needing one long weekend for the college visit, there’s clearly more at play. They’re either not getting along or tight on money would be my guess, but what the fuck do I know
  19. So, yeah...we're gonna need to hear the bullshit reasons.
