  1. went last night. had the house omakase with spicy pork bone broth and added ramen noodles and a couple other specialty items off the cart. gf had the Tatsu-ya omakase and added ramen. service was very good. If I was to do it again i would probably go a la carte and load up on the veggies and 3 different kinds of meatballs. smelled a little like a farm inside the restaurant. I’m not really a fan of being seated less than a foot next to strangers on each side such that you can hear all their conversations and vice versa (and our neighbors joined our conversation uninvited at one point), but I suppose that seating set up is part of the authenticity of it, I don’t know. we enjoyed it well enough for the uniqueness of the experience, but at that price point we both agreed that we would prefer dinner at a more upscale place (it was $ comparable to one of our dinners at Uchiko, maybe even a little more), or several dinners at Michi.
  2. “Donald Trump is doing a great job.” -Johnny Sack and all Republicans
  3. that is exactly what Republicans want.
  4. been to the first two a couple of times, enjoyed both - neither are particularly upscale but would probably be fine for Thanksgiving. schnitzel at caroline is great, FWIW. no idea if that would be on a Thanksgiving menu. i went in and looked around at Arlo Grey once after we had burgers at the place next door - that would definitely be a more upscale option, from what i can tell. been to Trace a couple times for lunch and wasn't particularly impressed either time.
  5. “he shits his pants just like me!” -TexasHammer
  6. its funny that people think that Republicans are going to allow Trump to be "voted out" of office, under any circumstances.
  7. the whistleblower will be killed if their identity is revealed. this is what Trump and Republicans want - for the message to be sent that no one should attempt to hold them accountable for their treason

    ^ what space is the Jersey Mike's going into? the old popeye's? getting off the sammiches topic here but re: Saffron: both daals are good, particularly the tarka daal. i like the lamb and goat vindaloo and curry dishes, and the chicken lazeez; brussel sprouts and chicken 65 apps are both very good. gf loves the samosas. the saffron naan is amazing.
  9. one would think. but then ask yourself, are they Republican? if the answer is yes (and it is), then do not underestimate their willingness and ability to act in a manner contrary to the principles of democracy, and to do the wrong thing for the country. all of the evidence regarding Republicans supports that proposition. all of it.

    using the definition of Westlake broadly (which I do) - Sway, Jack Allen's, Saffron, and now Salt Traders all seem to be doing well. i'd like to see more places of that level/quality and upwards in the area - and less Modern Market/CAVA/Chipotle/Zoe's type places. sure seems like the client base is there
  11. without question. Id bet just about anything on it.
  12. agree with all of these bullet points. and with the following additions: - not a single Republican Senator will vote to convict, no matter how overwhelming the evidence of Trump's guilt and complete lack of fitness for the office (and there is already more than enough to warrant his removal) - the electoral college gamesmanship, election meddling, voter fraud and hacking mentioned above will have the full support of the Republican Party (as it does now)
  13. saw it last weekend and thought it was great. maybe not the best movie of the year, but will probably end up in my top 5 by year's end. i think part of it for me may be that i knew almost nothing about it going in (sort of half watched a trailer) and had no expectations. definitely worth seeing at the theater.
  14. teaching and celebrating Republican values: fear and hatred of others.
  15. 100% of those who still self-identify as Republicans and/or vote for and support Republican candidates and politicians are supporters of and complicit in treason. every effort should be made by the rest of us who care about the country to eliminate them from all public offices at every level, and the decision making process for the country going forward.

    yes
  17. “Everything about New York sucks. It’s a total dump, so I’m leaving. I love New York!”
  18. But Mexico paid for The Wall! Right? oh.
  19. the cry about rep thread is that way >>>> johnny sack and slorch are there waiting for you. compulsive lying and trolling by halfwits do not warrant a serious or substantive response. in fact, it’s exactly what neg rep is there for. try again.
  20. false. Trump will, and there will be no consequences. not a single Republican will vote to Impeach, or to convict. and he doesn’t even need to pay them to get that result. today is further evidence that 100% of Republicans in the US are party over country hacks who are complicit in treason. and there is a lot more of that evidence is coming. tons.

    will the one in Westlake ever open up FFS
  22. ballsy. scamming Columbian drug kingpins sounds like a good way to get disappeared
  23. man, thats winning to me - leftovers made into homemade breakfast tacos are a regular weekend ritual in my house. leftover brisket? brisket tacos. leftover cheese enchiladas with mole? mole enchilada tacos. leftover relleno? renello tacos. leftover pork chop? pork tacos. great escabeche, salsa, tortillas, and pickled red onions are staples in my house just for this. i buy the jarred escabeche by the 1/2 case 😂
  24. and really, I wish all of his supporters were treated this way, and worse, in public 24/7. the bootlickers and supporters of treason should never, ever be given a pass until they’re all dead and gone.
  25. soaked salad cajun white beans with smoked ham hocks and green onion sausage and rice both taken from the first "real" cookbook i ever bought myself 20+ years ago In NO soon after my parents moved there. it sits on my shelf of 40 or so cookbooks now and still gets a workout:
