  1. Anybody try Levant in Houston? The lamb chops intrigue me.
  2. Bringing Spade back for that bullshit Church Lady stings. It’s early, but that’s my biggest snub. Carvey has hung around Studio 8H all season, so I understand him not getting a sketch in the 50th.
  3. Cast of 50th Anniversary Special: https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/tv/2025/02/10/snl-50-anniversary-episode-celebrities-cast/78387293007/ Chevy and Kim K are my shockers.
  4. Despite their Tilted Bottle affiliation, I’ve enjoyed The Whiskey Den podcast. Their guests’ humblebrags about their collections are annoying, but their recs have been good. I would have never tried the excellent 2XO Innkeepers’ Blend if I hadn’t heard about it on their podcast.
  5. Houston guys, a HBH member is trying to move some Spanish Oak. Proceeds go the local elementary school. The post is on Facebook, but I have the fella’s contact number if you don’t want to dig through the posts.
  6. Anybody try Levant? I’m intrigued by the lamb chops.
  7. Tell me how.
  8. HBC bands are the best. Harry Connick Jr needs to stick to playing the piano.
  9. RIP Branchwater. I think we usually walked there. Clark’s is great little restaurant in the Montrose. But of course, it’s valet only. I parked way in the back of the lot, out of sight from the valet stand. Sure enough, I’m walking into the restaurant and some valet runs up to me and tells me I must give him my keys and take a ticket. I just left. I parked in a little ditch at Rainbow Lodge on Friday. Moral of the story, fuck valet only.
  10. Yep. His reasoning for selling was so insanely shitty. Comes after the NFL for being overvalued, and then sells the Mavs a couple years from a new TV deal. He needed to get liquid fast.
  11. Again, based on Instagram, I think she met a fella. Got sober. Left BF. I’d say it’d very difficult to judge a bourbon/rye finish if you’re spitting into a bucket, but wine guys are doing it right now.
  12. Probably the GOAT at home steak side. Thank me later.
  13. People are weird. The guy across the hall from me at work went to Cy-Falls and he refuses to leave the Heights. Another guy down the hall grew up in Wyoming and loves Cypress. I dunno. I can’t really work anywhere else, so Houston is home.
  14. Grew up in Cypress. Had to move to Memorial because my wife demanded a pool. But I hear ya.
  15. Eastwood*. Jesus Apple.
  16. Itching for something I haven’t seen before. I’m a little light on Wastwood knowledge. Is Pale Rider worth $3.99?
  17. If we could have gotten a 3rd team in there to take salary, what was the price for Durant? All the Nets picks seems like a bargain for KD.
  18. Based on her Instagram, it looks like she’s gone through some shit. Pretty sure she’s sober now and her husband passed recently. Sorry to see it. Based on what I’ve seen and heard in interviews she seems like a wonderful person. I wish her well. Hopefully she has a protege working his/her way up the ladder at Brown-Forman.
  19. bump. I’m curious too. I can’t it make God Emperor.
  20. Man I mis Jackie. No more fruit bombs. No more cool cola notes. Just plain Jane what if aged OF100 12 years notes. That’ll be $200.
  21. It’s that time of the year again.
  22. Rainbow Lodge. I’ll give them credit for having balls and moving out of the current Brenner’s on the Bayou location. They saw the potential of Greater Heights before many real estate developers did. That said their Wild Game Mixes Grill is a shadow of Brennan’s and Hudson Bend (RIP). Game usually needs a nice sauce. To lightly season it, grill it, and serve it on top of grits doesn’t work. Very bland, lean meat. The Friday Burger is pretty good. Elk, bison, and ribeye. Good to great duck gumbo. They do quarts of gumbo to go for $18. Very reasonable lunch and happy hour menus. One pet peeve: parking is valet only. I get that they have a small lot, but this bullshit is an Inner Loop money grab city wide. There’s no reason to do it during non-peak hours.
  23. Thoughts and prayers. A guy I know finalized his divorce yesterday and is chasing it with going out for NAPE tonight. No arrest, safe place to sleep would be huge wins. No Friday HR call is probably a bridge too far.
