re: GRRM's planned ASOIAF twist (potential for spoilers)

I'm guessing Catelyn Stark.
The TV show killed her off, but in the books she becomes Lady Stoneheart. Basically a zombie hellbent on revenge.

Chinese cuisine is very much lacking in Lafayette. You need to slide over a cuisine and order take out from Bankok Thai, Saigon Noodles, etc.
Our Thai is good.
Or Vietnamese is good, but sorely lackign a decent Bahn Mi. (Blue Basil only has one as an app, and the meat sucks)
Our Chinese food options suck. You simply cannot buy a decent steamed dumpling in town. You want roast duck? You have to go to the freaking Asian Market to get one. Every Chinese restaurant in town is a buffet with the exception of the fast-food stations like Hot Wok.
re: GITM on tap + crawfish boil at Uncle Earl's this Saturday

I like Ghost and I love boiled crawfish. The two should never meet. It's a horrible pairing. Boiled crawfish is the only time it's acceptable for a beersnob to drink a Bud Lite.
Don't wait in line for rare beer

This article is written just for you shitlord GOAT herders.
Even though the article sounds like it was written by Dennis Miller, he's got a point. Don't hunt for horns, hunt for meat.
quote:
Waiting in line for beer is a divisive force in our community. It rarifies craft beer. It stratifies us into drinking castes. It values the scarcity of a beer over the enjoyment derived from it. Craft culture is separating into two classes, and one of them will only drink beer that's sufficiently scarce and properly cellared.

Reading the laws, there's a bunch of dumb stuff in there..

For example, at the bottom of page 92, you can't sell beer if you are a donut shop.
That seems oddly specific. I wonder who pissed who off to get that in there.

If you think BR has it bad with Crescent Crown, you should hear the guys here in Lafayette. Ya'll may get 2 month old stuff, but we get NOTHING.
Last batch of Grace and Grit, Lafayette was supposed to get 5 cases, total. CCD salesman just gave it all to one account in BR and called it a day. Lafayette ended up with zero, and all the guys on the waiting lists were just SOL.

I can't wait for Drago's either, but I keep hearing they are having trouble with a location.
I heard they gave up on Lafayette completely and opted instead on focusing on Baton Rouge or Lake Charles.
Echoing the good but not great sentiment.
Their flavored offerings, like Moo-Hoo, Liquid Bliss, etc, taste too artificial. However their IPAs are decent. But not great.
I'm sure they do one-off small batch stuff that's great, but we never get any of that her in Louisiana.

Lafayette area:
BJ's in Broussard - Declining food quality, cash only business. Was served rancid mayo on shrimp poboy once, another time there were hard fried doughballs in the poboy. Cash only makes it easier to pass up.
Golden Panda - Ate there twice, got food poisioning twice.
Fat Pat's - They started turning their burger pattys into hockey pucks, refuse to offer doneness options for burgers other than "well done". Had chicken wings that were basically served uncooked.
Zeus's - Food quality has deteriorated into dog food. Men behind counter harass customers. Especially women.
Coyote Blues - Service sucks. It's like they let high school employees hire their friends. There's always a gaggle at the front register just talking. Have been served cold food. Don't get me started on the pitiful tortillas. It's disappointing because the fajitas and margaritas are pretty good.
Urbano's Taqueria - Way too expensive. 3 very small tacos, a bag of chips, and a drink should not cost $18. I mean, the food is good, just too pricy for what you're getting.
T-Coon's - The food is bad. It's insane the amount of salt and butter that is in everything. Everything tastes the same. Also, the guy runs his restaurant like a frat house. He's always holding court at the big table for breakfast and lunch with his buddies. You get the vibe that you're funding his entertainment.
Romacelli - food is bland and expensive. Place feels like a mafia front. Bad service.
Acme Burger - Way overpriced, very slow service.
Golden Corral - *I have never eaten here - I once overheard a homeless guy saying how he just left the Golden Corral buffet and it was the worst food he's ever had. A good samaritan had taken him there to put some food in his belly. I mean, if a hungry homeless guy was hating...

They sell them at every World Market. There's a caramel, honey, and syrup variety.
They're great if you rest one across the top of your cup of coffee and let the steam heat up the caramel inside. Very nice.

No, the surveyors started counting and just gave up because everyone is crazy. There is basically zero mental health diagnosis or support here in LA. Now, I'm not saying we're "Arkansas crazy", cause those Bible belt folks are just nuts.
Florida has to be unreported too. They're crazier than Arkansas.

Maybe never buy it again but to pour it out?
Life is too short to drink bad beer. Got plenty more good ones in the fridge.

The first batch of Parish's Farmhouse IPA.
I had that too! It was the first beer that drain poured itself. I've never seen anything like that before or since. I popped the top and 75% of the bottle gushed out. Because of that, I've never bought another Farmhouse IPA. I've had it on tap, and it's not terrible. They really should package that in a 6 pack not the 750.
What's the last beer you've drain poured?
Posted by Beersnob on 1/28/16 at 7:47 am
We've all had beers that were too bad to drink. What was the last one that you drain poured rather than drinking? Try not to include beers that had problems like infection or oxidation or being skunked.
For me, it was Arrogant Bastard's Punishment. The spiciness didn't work at all and there was nothing redeemable about the rest of the beer. $12 down the drain.

everything that abita brews is fine, well above the macro brews in quality & taste, are readily available without cloak & dagger machinations and are priced right
This is spot on. Abita is the Target of the beer world. Like Target is better than WalMart, but not as good as botique stores. Abita is better than the other Macros, but not as good as the small specialty craft guys.
There's nothing wrong with Abita beer. It fills a niche.
