Pip was really good. The performances were great.

Rec for Iguana bar was solid, for a nice evening out with wife. Dress up a bit. We just went for cocktails but the dinner looked good. After cocktails we went to Barcelona Tapas for dinner at sunset, highly recommend. Another good rec was Elixir Mixology Bar. Tiny place, LGBT, very welcoming with super friendly hosts. Perfect place for great cocktails and good conversation. Highly recommend. For an over the top chef's tasting menu, we went to Tintoque and it was awesome. Amazing atmosphere and service. Aggressive and interesting food based on regional recipes and ingredients. We loved it.

I am all those things. It's a combination of claustrophobia and control issues. I am the type that can be in an small, enclosed place but if I can get out when I want, I am fine. I can be a large, open space but if I am trapped, I start to lose it. That happened when I was called to jury duty and had to sit in the middle of row, knowing that I could not get up and leave. I went to therapy for this a few years ago because it was become a hindrance to every day living. This included exposure therapy. She actually handcuffed me (in not a good way) and put me in the back seat of a two door car. It was awful. But I learned that all of this is really a false triggering of a flight or fight reflex that is inside of us. So, my mantra when it starts became: "where is the tiger?". All of that plus Lorazepam that I rarely take, but keep as a crutch just in case really helped. I can handle most things now and am fine on plane, but have to sit in the aisle. I still can't be in the far back row of an SUV without access to a door. I have not fixed that.

Beautiful. What a man. So sorry for your loss. Sunday will 1 year since my dad died and I feel all of this.

Bumping this. Looking for good tacos and interesting bars and places to eat in town. Any recent recommendations? We won’t be getting in a car for a long drive away from our hotel to see a waterfall or anything like that. I’ve done enough of that and just want to chill.

This could also be on the Big Night thread. We tried Le PasSage on the Katy Trail, just off Fitzugh last week. It's on the first floor of a cool, very upscale residential tower, with a patio right on the trail. The room is really beautiful. Essentially, they assembled on all star team of chefs and front of room staff to create the best version of a Asian restaurant. They even got our favorite bartender in Dallas (George Kaiho, who opened Jettison) to create and manage the cocktail list. The food is Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese and Cambodian. It's not exactly fusion because each dish actually is what it is from it's home cuisine. We loved it. Service and atmosphere were wonderful. We shared the big fried snapper, with sides of fried rice and mushrooms, and it was perfect. We also shared the Pullman Plate as a shared appetizer. Years ago, this would have been called a Pu Pu Platter and it would have a hibachi in the middle. This was much more simple and it was a fine introduction. Next time, we will go for the more interesting apps. Recommend.

Prediction Contest- Cotton Bowl- Texas v Ohio State

Secrets Moxche is really nice and your 18 year old just makes the 18 and up cutoff. It is mostly a middle aged crowd, but there are usually college kids, bachelorette parties and all that going on too. The onsite club is really good and there are several other bars that are cool for hanging out. If you are a baller, level up to Impression which gives you access to all the Secrets resort stuff, plus the private, super upscale areas in Impression with Butlers and all that. The swimming pools are spectacular. The beach is ok (not the best in the area) but they make up for it with a huge white sand lagoon entry pool

They will also grill up uncut fajitas for you. When folks are coming over and I’m in a rush, that meat (cut at home) with a salsa and a pico, fresh tortillas and a cut up avocado (the best avocados are always at La Michoacana) is the easiest home run.

RH for bougie brunch with lots of dressed up young women. Service is great; room is cool; pricy. Turkish breakfast at Mayor’s House. Great place overall with terrific Turkish staff. The breakfast might not be their best stuff but it’s a different experience and fun to do with a group. $3 mimosas. And the Turkish coffee will get you going for the rest of the day.

Look at the Dreams resorts. Upscale, nice and family friendly.

Pizza Hut - Pan Recipe Change (40 years in the making)
DFWTexEx replied to MrBig's topic in Food and Travel
This. I do go on occasion to the new, chefy pizza places with brick ovens and curated ingredients, but can't go for too long without Pizza Hut. There is a taste that just takes me back to those Friday nights with my family. I miss those nights a lot. -
That was my freshman year. It was only the beginning of a very dark time.
