Re: Cursed Locations

Streetcare Sandwiches was the last decent (and lasting) place on Carrollton between Willow and Jeanette. For that matter, the Cucos nearby on Carrollton has also turned over more than a few times.

Re: What are you cooking for Tgiving?

We went to my sister-in-law's for Thanksgiving, so we only had to bring some items. We brought a vegetable dip, made from a mix, and chopped vegetables.

Po Boys Article in the NY Times

Interesting article that gives some history and current status of the po boy. I like how they talked about newer shops like Mahoneys and also a Katrina recovery shop like Zimmers.

Re: Stone Beer

I did. I went to the event at the Mid City Bulldog and enjoyed a pitcher of IPA with a friend. That beer sure is hoppy! I think some may call it bitter, but it is only because they are not clear on the complexity of flavors that properly managed hops will bring to a beer. And it was also my first vi...
