  1. Uh ok. That's not very descriptive but ok.
  2. Have you thought about NoVa? Seems like it check off all the boxes. Definitely big but not NY or LA and you're close to Dulles airport. They have outdoorsy stuff like Wolf Trap, Great Falls, and Scott's Run nearby. Plenty of stuff to do like DC, Charlottesville, Shenandoah National Park, go to the coast or Virginia wine country. Taxes aren't insane and politics are moderate/left-leaning. The winters have been pretty mild the past few years.
  3. Florida had 14 1 stars in its Michelin inaugural guide a couple years ago. I think Texas gets more. I'm guessing 20-25.
  4. For San Antonio, I think Signature, Bliss, Clementine, Ladino and Cured all have a chance to get a star. No way all of them get one. Maybe they'll throw in a random Tex Mex restaurant like La Fonda which would be hilarious.
  5. https://www.dmagazine.com/food-drink/2024/07/michelin-stars-are-coming-to-five-texas-cities-this-year-including-dallas/ Dallas, Austin, Houston, SA and FW covered. Which restaurants do y'all think will get a rating? I'd be shocked if anywhere gets 3 stars.
  6. Top Chef will be in Canada next season. Glad they picked there instead of a bland US location.
  7. Cascade Brewery shuts down. https://www.oregonlive.com/beer/2024/06/portland-brewery-a-pioneer-of-sour-ales-shuts-down-possibly-for-good.html?outputType=amp
  8. Just watched the latest episode. Pretty pathetic that two of the contestants didn't even know they severely undercooked their proteins till judge's table. Like I understand time gets away from you and a contestant ends up serving undercooked protein due to time management issues but that's not what happened. How hard is it to taste your proteins before to make sure they're cooked? Usually around this time during the finals, the judges are nitpicking and figuring out which contestant's flavor combinations are slightly off to send one home. Not this season. This season they're debating which protein is slight more edible. Extremely pathetic. I'm actually going to Milwaukee in a few months and usually go out of my way to go to a Top Chef contestant's restaurant whenever I'm traveling. Not going to bother going to Dan's spot. I'll watch the last episode just curious to see how bad the chefs fuck up but this season has been pretty bad.
  9. Yeah I went to Weathered Souls last month and it was pretty terrible. One IPA on tap (their West Coast IPA), as well as a sour, a lager and then like 8 pastry stouts. Uh don't feel like drinking 16% ABV overly sweet stouts during the day in the middle of May. They also ran out of about 75% of their food menu.
  10. 2100 Broadway. Just north of the Pearl. Looks like RIP to Smoke Shack BBQ
  11. They did a cruise in Top Chef Seattle when they took one to Alaska. This isn't a new thing.
  12. With regards to Mammoth Cave, I recommend reserving your cave tickets online because they do sell out. Also, important to note that Mammoth Cave is in Central Time Zone while Lexington/Louisville are in Eastern so plan accordingly.
  13. This really sucks. Dude grew up impoverished in Compton, didn't even graduate high school so he couldn't play Division I and worked his way up to becoming a Hall of Famer. Not only was he a great football player but also a great father as evidenced by his son going to Harvard. Really sad.
  14. Not a band but David Bowie - Blackstar
  15. Read this review (https://www.breakingbourbon.com/review/two-souls-double-barreled-pumpernickel-rye-featuring-middle-west-spirits) and blind bought it through the distiller's website. Holy shit. Probably one of the best ryes I've ever had. Just super intense. Very cinnamon forward (not like fireball, more like a cinnamon roll), creamy, walnutty with some pumpernickel at the back end. Flavor lingers for a while. Definitely worth it if you can find it on secondary.
  16. Crazy how he died just days after the "conference of champions" last sporting event.
  17. Wonderland Mall is probably the most depressing place in San Antonio. Especially for those who grew up in SA and remember what it used to be like. Just a Target, Ross, Burlington Coat Factory plus these random shitty flea market level stores like a DVD store and one that solely sells Tony Parker endorsed shoes made by a random Chinese company. The only good thing about it, the Bijou, closed a couple years ago.
  18. That's not true but I understand your confusion. The speed limit doesn't rise on Wurzbach until after NW Military. Wurzbach used to end at Lockhill Selma until the early 00's.
  19. Picking New Mexico may be the death knell this year.
  20. ^ Always think of Trigger Happy TV when I hear that song.
  21. ⚾️ Immaculate Grid 310 9/9: Rarity: 26 IMMACULATE! 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩 Play at: https://immaculategrid.com @immaculategrid x @baseball_ref
  22. I went to the one in the Boston airport and it was super nice. Was quite spacious and they had plenty of drink and food options. I've done quite a few Priority Pass lounges and the Sapphire lounge felt like a step up from those. They do have a "terrace" at AUS aka an outside lounge. Feels like that would be a miserable experience during the summer.
