    That’s awesome! I’m not a big Nick & Sam’s fan so I’m pulling for you. And put us down as a solid “yes” for opening night

    Lauded Chicago steakhouse Maple & Ash will open in Dallas So @ChiTownDoc y'all are doing this, huh? Across the street from Nick & Sams? Bold move. Can't wait
  3. Wasn’t the new season supposed to be released last night? Can’t find it. Wha happen?
  4. I must not have ever experienced the “amazing” stuff then. Because it’s the opposite for me. I think to myself, “man, why did I just waste space in my stomach on that crap, when there’s beef and pork”?
  5. So, Circus Circus in Vegas in Late June was shitty, huh? I'll be damned
  6. I feel like one of these Meater wireless thermometers might be necessary to perfect the reverse sear. And by "necessary" I mean another grill gadget I can tell myself I have to have. And by "myself" I mean my wife
  7. If it tastes good (and I'm assuming is either to go or delivery)...sure, why the hell not. Now, if I'm going in and sitting down and have a hot young Italian waitress and want to enjoy some birra o vino with the ambiance of Frank crooning in the background...that shit better be slung by some old Italian nonna who barely speaks English that you can overhear from time to time yelling in Italian at the staff while waiving the peel around.
  8. Little too far outside the bubble. Uptown...blech
  9. Yeah, plus it’ll be nice to have another restaurant/bar option around that area at the level where high end hookers hang out at the bar. Having to rotate between just The Mansion and Al Biernats gets old after a while.
  10. Four Seasons Project Set for Dallas' Turtle Creek will Bring Grand Hotel and Condos
  11. You sure talk a lotta shit for a guy who listed Tabasco as your baseline go-to hot sauce a few pages back
  12. This was my exact thought. Speaking of dead, to pile on to the Bazaar Meat discussion, the only time we ever went there, we ended up calling an audible after one drink and bailing because the place was so dead. No pulse, no energy, meal may have been great, but we didn't stick around to find out.
  13. Good god man…what rock have I been living under?

    Sorry I missed it this year, @C-Man. We had hoped to head out there, but this weather and the new boat have turned out to be almost an hour-by-hour decision making process that’s controlling our schedules and fucking up our social lives. First world problems, I know. Glad to hear you had a good event and congrats on the W. Try to make it next year for sure
  15. Plugged these guys in another thread (or maybe it was TOS). Fucking awesome experience. Really cool guy hand curated a bunch of places for us based on what we told him we were looking for. Really knows his shit when it comes to wine and everything about the area. Plus he had all kinds of cool access I didn’t feel like we could have otherwise gotten. One of the best things we’ve done on a vacation. Highly recommend… https://www.noblewt.com
  16. I used to think, like peanut butter, all mayo was about the same. Then I found Dukes (you might have even put me into it) and it changed the mayo game completely. Is this the Dukes of peanut butter? Or is there such a thing?
  17. Napoleon. I got the Prestige 665 RSIB. There are a ton of different options, though. I was as brand loyal to Weber as it gets for all my life, but I've converted. https://www.napoleon.com/en/us/grills
  18. https://www.texasstargrillshop.com They’re around Houston area, but delivered to me in Dallas no problem. Great experience
  19. I got mine delivered in a week from Texas Star.
  20. X-posting from the Napoleon Grills thread. Got a new grill and did a strip to break it in... The side sear station, which is super high heat for searing (not a side cooktop burner that I'd never use), gets really hot. Flames going everywhere. This will take some tweaking and getting used to... Here's the char on the first side I did. Probably left it on a little too long... And here's the other side which probably wasn't quite long enough, but I was worried I'd overcook it, which I did. There are a few things I can do differently to perfect this part, but it is a really nice feature and I think I'll love it once I get it dialed in... Here's the money shot, but I'm not super proud of it. Probably cooked it about right before I put it on the sear station, which then took it a bit over... Overall though, the build quality, features, warranty and price point are superior to Weber in just about every way I can see so far.
  21. Well, it's here and it's spectacular. Super pumped...I haven't had a proper grill in about 4-5 years (between living in a condo that didn't allow them and my new backyard build taking forever). I'm officially a convert from Weber. No doubt that Napoleon is just much more grill for the money, at least so far... Here it is with the knobs lit up... They turn red when the associated burner is on, which is kind of handy... The side sear station, which is super high heat for searing, not a side cooktop burner that I'd never use.

  22. Yeah I’ve heard that too. About places in there in general, not about Royal Blue specifically. I’m guessing due to the changes with their other location in Dallas, it might have been on The Royal Blue end. But hey, when you have the kind of fuck you money they have at Highland Park Village, they can afford to change up their toy with new accessories whenever they want. Have also heard they’re doing everything they can to get Starbucks gone too.
