  1. Stubb's Wicked Habanero Wing Sauce is my go-to for both flavor and heat.
  2. I second Penelope's post, for I, too, am a former Starwood girl currently forced to bow down to our Marriott overlords. And uses the crap out of my Amex Bonvoy Brilliant (or whatever the hell it's called).

    London

    Last time, I never even touched the cash I converted, and then took a bath converting it back. Just don't even bother. You can tap everywhere.
  4. I'm glad you care so much. Are you writing a book? Updating your database? Keep up the good work, Gladys...! Now, leave me alone while the neighbor's wife is over here...
  5. Why? You looking to cheat on someone, you filthy animal...? In your dreams, pal. Dafuq you care?
  6. But not faithful, huh?
  7. Excellent thinking! I was just thinking the same thing. Although, there is a bottle of Willam Larue Weller that requires my attention at The Rattlesnake Bar. Haven't killed it yet. It's an ongoing project.
  8. Doing some anniversararying this weekend. Gonna wander over the Ritz for dinner at Fearing's (love that guy!). Not gonna bother walking home. Get in some pool time on Saturday, do a wine tasting with Paul Botamer (love that guy, too!), and then...random shenanigans, I guess. Not planning on staggering back home until Sunday, and then we're gonna repack and I will join my girl on the road for a short work-trip just because I can. It just occurred to me that I did not plan Saturday dinner. Shit.
  9. Used The Parking Spot for years. Never had a problem, plus you'll build up points for free days.
  10. With or without fabric softener?
  11. Grew up on Corpus Christi Bay, so Gulf Oysters were/are a staple. Most of the Texas Coast gets farm-raised Oysters anyway now, so I feel less hinky about eating them in the warmer seasons. Fave place in NOLA is Royal House Oyster Bar. Mandatory stop. Usually hit up Felix at some point as well. A trip to Monterey, CA last August had us sitting on the back patio of Osteria Al Mare with a bottle of something white, chilled, and exquisite and a constant supply of Oysters. That was a good day. That's all I got.

    Dallas | Steak

    Was replying to Buzzrock on a different thread and thought I would come here. After year+ of living in the heart of downtown, I'll throw out a (maybe or maybe not) controversial pick for the best Filet in town. It's at The Woolworth. Not a steakhouse, per se, but...for $54...they deliver time and again. The rest of their menu is consistently executed flawlessly. Never had an even remotely mediocre experience. We usually sit at the bar and have a blast with the staff. Patio is always nice for a fair-weather day, too. At the bar: Noel is a lovely fellow who knows his brown liquor. Yoanna is the queen of the cocktail and subversive conversation. Sarah (also of City Tavern) and Kayla aren't neophytes, either. Just my $0.02.
  13. Then I definitely need to go there. Walk by it all the time on the way to, either, The Mitchell or The Scarlet Pumpernickel (or both!), depending on the mood. Thanks for the rec!
  14. Skatenigs with Long Black Car and Razorblade Dolls at Reno's Chop Shop in Deep Ellum tonight. I'm guessing I won't be the only old fart there.....
  15. It is a nice place to go dine, and they cover all the bases with some nice dining flourishes thrown in. Obviously, the dining room is fancier, the bar/patio is more casual. However, it seems like we hang on the patio or in the bar for random cocktails and apps more than we eat in the restaurant. Wine list, cocktails, brown liquor are all fantastic. For example, last night was a bottle of Ghost Block Cab with their (insanely good) Hummus and a Charcuterie plate, along with their complementary Popovers. It was all we needed before the show. The best Filet in town, however, after exhaustive research...The Woolworth. Repeatedly. And their service and bar ain't no slouch either. If that helps...
  16. Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Bobby Rush at The Majestic in Dallas tonight (I live next door to it). Headed to terrorize the Wicked Butcher patio shortly. Come yell out "Mule Dick" and say hello. After that, I'll be the dude in the front row in one of my B.B. King tour shirts (always difficult to find one in my sea of Metal tour shirts). Bourbon and Blues on a Friday, yall! Cheers!
  17. And yet...you know absolutely nothing about the town. Fascinating...
  18. You should give that list to Helobious. Sounds like he could use the help.
  19. You're welcome...ha! Seriously, glad it worked out for your big 10! Hope the rest of your trip was equally awesome. Cheers to ya!
  20. Does your wife not Backdoor, bro?
  21. I don't know about the quality of the BBQ, but, hell...I'd try it! I kinda want some smoked wings now, dammit!
  22. When we moved from Corpus Christi to Fort Myers (and then later back to Lufkin), we stopped at Moss Point, MS both trips. Intersection of IH-10 & Highway 63. Wasn't fancy, but there's a few hotel options and a few food options. Easy intersection with convenience stores for gas, coffee, and road snacks the next morning. It just worked. Surprisingly good enchiladas and margs at Hacienda San Miguel, by the way.
  23. I've spent a lot of time in that place since they opened...got the old shirts to prove it. Cheers!
  24. How was the weather?
