Sure but the model is still the same. I'm not knocking the model, it works great for maintaining a very high level of quality. But despite the increased quantity, Franklin still only serves until they are out, which ensures extremely low levels of waste and helps tremendously in maintaining quality. It's a VERY different dynamic, than running a full restaurant with dining room hours open throughout the day and evening. Which was the point of the original statement about that being a tough nut to crack for a lot of trailer operations that attempt to transition to full restaurants.

Franklin didn't really extend its hours. Still a serve-til-you're-out venture rather than attempting to support true dining room hours.

Ugh, terrible. Looks like some kind of sanitation department uniform or something.

Yeah I'd really love to see modern adaptations of Tai-Pan and Noble House as well. Not that I didn't love seeing Remington Steele play Ian Dunross, because I did. But a remake with the sensitivity of this current version of Shogun, would be pretty awesome.

Sausage kolache fajitas.

By my senior year I was there for lunch and/or dinner pretty much every day. We were such regulars that I got to know the manager, Eddie, pretty well. Every now and then when I was desperate I'd park out back and Eddie would yell at me that it was only for customers and I'd reply "you know I'll be back here in a couple of hours for the rest of the day." He'd grunt but then smile and say, "well that's true." One morning I parked there around 9:30 before they were open. He gave me his standard line about parking being for customers only, and I responded "Okay, can you sell me a beer?" He walked over behind the bar, poured a Shiner Bock for me and said, "well we're not open so I can't SELL you a beer." That day I skipped classes and drank beer all day long, my usual crowd of band and engineer friends swung by throughout the day, and at some point that night I ended up at The Crazy Lady with Eddie the manager, two of my crew, and a peeler named "Cocoa." That was a long, interesting day...

In the early 90s I could get a pitcher of Shiner Bock for $3.50 and drop that huge 14% tip to make it an even $4.

He has a valid point. I'd be pretty sour about it all after the weekend he had.

Agreed. At this point I can only do W. 7th or N. Lamar locations. And even so, neither of them are what they used to be. But Milagro is just flat-out gross the last two times I went. Won't do it again.

220..221... whatever it takes.

Ryan Reynolds has hooked up with the hottest chicks, over-acted badly in many of his early roles, made hundreds of millions of dollars on business dealings on top of his movie earnings, and even owns an English soccer team. There are so many reasons for me to be jealous of him and hate him. But I don't. I can't. Instead, he is my man-crush. LFG

I think the Elk is going to end up being sort of a David McWilliams kind of coach for them. Except without the Shock The Nation year.

Yup disagree with that bit and... Ant Man 1 was widely enjoyed by many, and was a refreshingly different style of movie compared to most of the rest of the MCU. They weren't really able to recapture that in 2 or 2 IMO, but the first one was extremely entertaining.

I don't know. I think the speech is a little clunky and a little too obvious. I like that the movie in its final form leaves some of this open to the observer, for interpretation and reflection. Mentioning that he has no home and Marie died 8 years ago is more then enough to allow me to then understand Del's actions throughout the movie. I hate it when screenwriters underestimate the viewer and hit us over the head with dialog. I think the movie worked perfectly without the speech.

So I've recently purchased a new lawnmower and now I know exactly who Sauber ripped off for their livery:

Taco Deli was really good originally. They've changed the menu considerably and tossed a lot of my favorites, probably right around COVID when so many other things changed as well. The puerco borracho was fantastic, would love to see it back on the menu but alas.

The fantastic mullets in the original are really what set it apart. Without those mullets, the remake was never going to be the same. But they still did a pretty good job of capturing the cheese and making an entertaining action movie.

This is such a common and strange reaction from aggies I meet living and working in Austin. It's not like it should be any surprise encountering Texas grads in the same city where the university is located-- if you choose to live here you really ought to know what you're getting into. If encountering Texas grads is going to be a remarkable and unpleasant experience for you, then Austin is probably not the city for you.

No way man, do you even read this board? Surlys MUST run their air conditioners at 68 throughout the summer.

Actual photo of Israeli army massing right now:

Austin FF will chew this up and spit it out in no time. Except for Bee Cave, where it will flood.

You never know. If you can show that the comps being used for the market valuation aren't directly comparable to your house (more recently renovated, etc.) and can show that more similar houses are selling for less, then you could make a case. My FIL protests every year, and eventually when he retired he served on the Travis County board that handles disputes. As long as people came in and told a reasonable story, he said they'd often cut at least some if it.
