Met up with some folks today at a joint in Round Rock called Palermo Pasta. Not out of this world good, but they have a lunch special that was $12 that includes iced tea, salad and main dish and there were 5 or 6 options. Most of us grabbed the lasagna or Calzone and no complaints.  Decent $12 lunches are hard to find these days. 

 

We love Palermo, esp their alfredo.

La Traviata just reopened right by me. Haven’t been yet but have heard good things from people in my hood. 

 

This the same La Traviata that was on Congress?

We went last night and everything was very good. Drinks were surprisingly stiff as well.

I'm sorry y'all... kept reading about La Traviata and I thought I would look this up...

Feeling borderline homicidal.  Onions and cream in Carbonara?  Bolognese served with 1) spaghetti and 2) spinach? 3) a touch of cream? 

"But dago, what is wrong with you?  These are fine..."

OK... "Texas Chili with beans and bell pepper" or "Brisket served with a side of ranch"

Their carbonara was legit back at the old location.  By my recollection it had neither onions or cream.

I'm not so dogmatic about bolognese.  Spinach seems unusual but I have seen Italians put a bit of cream in.  I'm sure plenty balk at that.  I'd prefer pappardelle for sure.

You should block those Italians from your Facetube

Milk is not cream

Sure, I was going on memory.  I'm nowhere near as immersed in this stuff as you are.  So your beef (heh) with their dish is the use of cream instead of milk?

No worries... we are slightly opinionated when it comes to our food

It like me telling a guitar player "this guitar is basically like that one".  My son who is an OK musician will get into arguments with me about the tone of a telecaster.

There are Texans on this very site that will tell you they eat chili with beans in it.

If we can't argue our food snobbery on an internet message board, then what are we even doing here?

My wife, born and raised in Texas by Texan parents, insists that she grew up with beans in chili because that's what middle class Texans did to stretch a pot of chili for an additional meal or two.  I tell her, "Fine, but I'm still calling it stew."  She is not amused.
