It would be amazing for Spec’s to have everything priced right at secondary when these people walk right in. Maybe throw some screen shots of recent Facebook BINs on there to validate the pricing and then back it off $20 for shipping and 8% for tax.

Southwest or every other airline in the history of the world?
USCATX replied to closetohumping's topic in Food and Travel
I had another flight tomorrow to Greenville where they sent a text cancellation two days ago but it was still showing as live in the app. Finally today the flight shows as cancelled and I was prompted to cancel or rebook in the app. When I chose cancel they gave me credit and I had to fill out a separate form for a refund on a flight they canceled. 0% faith they get any of this right. -

Forgot to mention my favorite part of waiting at SNA. An SWA pilot was sitting in the Carl’s Jr. in Terminal C on hold with their crew scheduling team for at least two hours. I walked by him multiple times while he was playing games on his iPad with the call on speaker. It seemed like it might be his passive aggressive way of letting everyone know it wasn’t his fault. -

We somehow made it home from SNA on Southwest today in an absolute shit show of delays and cancellations. We were only delayed 4.5 hours and our bags even made it so I suppose it could have been worse. The stupidest part is they can’t even update flight status during these debacles. Also, acres of bags at AUS on arrival plus a bonus flat tire in the blue garage. Only 11 hours door to door for a direct flight home.

I’m curious to try that 922 because the last batch I had (b521 maybe?) was hot sadness that ended up getting mixed with ginger ale at the lake. It seems like they feel pressure at BB to name something at least moderately findable as whiskey of the year while putting the hitters in their top 5.

If somebody offered me “allocated” Knob Creek Twice Barreled Rye at any price above a 50% off sale we would not be friends.
-
I love their beef ribs, best I’ve ever had in my life. But are they smoking them individually now? I might have to try that.
-
I like to divide it by four and compare to a wine price. No need to fret about $250 for Stagg Jr unless you’d feel moral outrage about a $60 bottle of wine.
-
It’s good, as expected for 16 year MGP.
-
Didn’t realize we were giving Bill hell, carry on. But back on groups, they don’t really help find bottles like this. It’s more of a spend tons of money and get bottles at retail or buy them at secondary game. Either way you are paying.
-
My guy just texts me a spelling quiz on something easy like “eluding” and then I go pick up the bottles at retail. Easy peasy.
-
RIP to the rye I measure all other rye by. This will crush lesser Thomas Handy years, many MGP Old Scouts and you can still grab one around $350 secondary. Batch 2 is also pretty good and you still see those on the shelf here and there or about $275 secondary. I don’t think these ever recovered from being a $115 rye when that was unheard of and it’s kept the value down permanently.

No need to rest, and it will definitely be better with some high heat. The Serious Eats recipe assumes you’re using one oven and need that time to bring it up to temp.

This will get it done, and reading Kenji’s stories and tests on meat will make you a better meat cooker. Drying it in the fridge overnight is money, the slow cook helps you hit the timing exactly, and the limited well-done gray ring is incredible. It’s a little unconventional, but I did a whole tenderloin in this style one year and it went hard. The edge/crust was the best I’ve ever had on relatively lean prime filet. I’ve also done this on a bone in prime rib with the sear happening on a 900* egg, which resulted in slightly more done edge but still a crazy thin transition to medium rare/rare meat.

JD Coy Hill or Four Roses SmBLE with a kicker, younger Old Fitz or good Stagg Jr picks straight up, or if you have a Stagg/THH/Birthday you could trade down for that EHTBP plus another nice bottle or two.
-
The toasted rye is the best thing they make short of the really crazy stuff like 20/25.
-
It’s going for about 200-220 secondary right now so you should buy it and trade at a minimum.
-
Close, 2020 in Alaska. Before y’all book a cruise it’s not like that anymore at all.
-
I hear you. I’ve walked some pretty crazy bottles because it just seemed like too much trouble to get them home.
-
I kind of love that dude. Shaw managed to win at Stanford without being a sociopath like Harbaugh and then stepped away on his own terms without a golden parachute funded by the efforts of unpaid athletes. No alumni base or student population in the PAC has fewer lonely F’s to give about football than Stanford and Shaw managed to quietly turn that into Rose Bowl wins and tons of guys in the NFL. He has my respect.
-
I’m pretty good at math and can’t make “didn’t have room for FRSMBLE” add up.
-
It was ER17 good, crazy bottle for $350 at auction. ‘19 has a reputation for greatness, but I don’t remember it being anywhere near that tasty.
-
Starting with a Rye Sazerac today, but cracked an ‘18 FRSMBLE yesterday by the fire and had no regerts.
-
Exactly. If USC wins out they’ll be in.
-
For sure. I’d probably let a 10, 12 and 15 go for just the price of their 15.
