    I'm really surprised at those prices, considering I just dropped $50 at Heim here in FW for two sliced brisket sammiches, two sides, and one soft drink. Will make a point of stopping here next time I'm down that way
  2. Corpus Christi Home of the original Whataburger-I ate there as a kid when it was a stand and Dobson was working the grill Snapka's-mentioned previously, still drive in service Pick's-RIP, one on Ayres across from Butterkrust Bakery, and downtown drive in.

    Loved Cottons back in my days growing up in CC in the 60's. Roys was also a regular stop.
  4. Mike was a friend and Fort Worth treasure. EVERY Saturday, especially when Peter Schroeder sold the Old Neighborhood Grill, the wife and I would meet another couple for breakfast. Mike always came by our table, had some of the worst Dad jokes which he offered, and was never pretentious/over inflated ego/dollar driven. Sadly, he sold in April but continued to come down frequently and didn't live long enough after the sale to enjoy his retirement. I shall miss seeing him but will enjoy telling stories at his memorial.

    "If you have decided you want what we have, and are willing TO GO TO ANY LENGTHS,"-this is from the Big Book, chapter 5, pertaining to How It Works. If this is your first attempt at stopping drinking, I would suggest you attend meetings in person. But if once in a while you can't make it, Zoom meetings are better than no meeting. Highly agree with Kenny regarding the eye to eye and contact you will feel in the rooms that isn't quite the same on a computer screen. Keep coming back, it works, IF you work it.
  6. The Granbury location has never disappointed. Hope the FW location and Burleson get up to speed.
  7. 28th Street location was in my rotation when working on the northside. Now going to W. Cleburne close to the home.
  8. On my bucket list but having to wait till Tuesday since they are closed on Monday. Drew's has been in business on the west side of FW a long time, maybe second only to Zeke's, another longtime west side favorite.
  9. Inquiring minds want to know, Old High or Rider?
  10. Does she have any brothers who are in middle school that play offensive line? Asking for a friend.

    That'll preach in the most holy of barbecue restaurants.
  12. Get there. When the Parker County peaches arrive, their peach custard is the shit.
  13. https://www.metromaples.com/ We bought a Japanese maple tree from these folks, they delivered, planted, and suggested how to care for it in the first growing season. Enjoyed doing business with them and would recommend if this is something you have given consideration to.

    The last house on the block ALWAYS has a light on and is open year round 24/7. Glad you are here.

    But I can't think of anything else more worthy of doing on a daily basis than staying sober. The journey and it's subsequent rewards will be worth it, and the longest I've ever had to stay sober in the past 23+ years is 24 hours. As a former BOFZ tailgater, I wish you well my friend.
  16. The WFAA article had a quote regarding large weekly concerts and restaurant open houses. At one time when I worked for Caravan of Dreams, the outside concert promotion company owned by Bass would put on parking lot concerts with name bands and the restaurants would have food concessions. The crowds did come as a result of this effort, but after the turn of the century, these vanished for the most part. I can't recall the last time there was a live concert in Sundance Square outside of an occasional perfomance at Main Street.
  17. I knew Ed's former wife, Vickie, who was seen and not heard outside of the stock show parade every year. The Kraken he yoked up with in her place is ruining Sundance Square with a quickness. Sad to see the downtown that was so vibrant in the 90's beginning to look like the one from the 60's with vacant buildings and no sign of interest from tenants.

    Good on you Bear. Went to a service for the father of one my wife's sponsees yesterday. He was a three year letterman at TCU from '57-59, all SWC in 58, became a local HS coach and taught in FWISD for his entire career. The recovery community that showed up to share the experience with his recovering daughter made me grateful to be a part of such a compassionate fellowship. It was clear that the promise that says our whole attitude and outlook on life will change was being portrayed by everyone in recovery at this service, having made a decision to take action to support another person in a time of sorrow. While the preacher did a good job memorializing this man, the sermon I saw without words but with such actions spoke volumes to me and my wife. Keep showing up Bear-your life touches more people than you can imagine and the journey, while sometimes painful and sad, is one that can help someone else when their time comes. Love you brother.
  19. The wife and I have been going here since 2011 and it is really good. We have a waitress that knows us when we walk in and her service is outstanding. Have never had a bad meal here and price point is good too.

    Here's hoping the best times spent with your loving father will comfort you in the days ahead. Alcoholism is often a generational disease and to see that recovery in this case is as well makes my heart smile. God be with you my brother.
  21. Kleenex futures are trending upward after reading the last two days of threads in this forum.

    Those /lb prices are VERY reasonable based on what is currently out there.

    Not according to their website-which may need updating. https://hurtadobbq.com/

    I hope you are flying in Wednesday or later since they are closed Monday and Tuesday. If you are there by 10:30 the line is usually less than 30 minutes, plus you can order online and pick up to avoid it.
