That video is pretty good for a beginner, but he doesn't brown his meats even close to long enough and proudly pours 2 Tbsp of kitchen bouquet in there to make up for it :lol:

HoopsGalore is the Madison expert here. Might want to search his posts. Met up with him when Bama played there last year and had a great time. He is about y'alls age so all of his suggestions should be right up your alley.
I was expecting to, but once I entered my CC info it told me I was entered for the draw and that was it.
I was able to do it, but that website is pretty clunky. It took nearly 10 minutes for the verification email to come through before I could finish the process.

Ben dinucci, former cowboys backup QB started this stupid shite with the upside down Dallas hats. It got big because Dak started wearing it.

Is all the discussion happening in specific team threads? Golazo show was awesome yesterday with all the high scoring games. So many beautiful goals.

I've never done the JFK tour, but knowing that area, I'd imagine your kids will be pretty underwhelmed going from the stockyards to Dealey Plaza... maybe flip the order?
Yep has to be talking about Christies.

If you're hellbent on staying in deep ellum, Backyard might be your best option? Not really a traditional divey "sports bar" but it has some very big screens for games and lots of other TV's. It's probably been 5 years since I've been there so take what I say with a grain of salt.
I just need to bookmark this thread or something. Having it at the bottom is BS. But I think once games start, this should pick up quite a bit.

I'll take it to San Antonio, Houston, or New Orleans, but I'm over them. Even with all the construction at DFW, I prefer American. A List is pretty worthless compared to American status in my experience.

I live down the street and didn't believe you at first, but man there really is a lot of construction there right now. Mockingbird gets down to one lane each direction right at the Love Field entrance.

Is this confirmed? He's from Louisiana and I've heard him talk about going to LSU, so not sure where that would come from.

Feet or yards? 200 feet is not far with a rifle.

Still planning Saturday. Will stay in the Uptown area for sure. Best upscale steak place for dinner? Under the radar lunch spots, great atmosphere, any type of food or setting?



If you want to throw some Tex Mex into your itinerary, Las Palmas is right down the street from The Crescent. Very popular upscale tex mex place that opened 2017ish. Pretty casual for lunch and gets a little more sceney for dinner.

The Las Palmas guys also own an awesome cocktail bar across the street called Bowen House that opens at 4pm if you are looking for some pre-dinner drinks (might want to make reservations there, its small and can get crowded).

For more casual Tex Mex lunch, Mia's is my personal favorite, right by Bob's on Lemmon. Get sunset beef fajitas (get the onions crispy) or brisket tacos

Mister Charles


Hotels:
-I haven't seen the Hotel Swexan mentioned. Developed a couple of years ago so its very new and luxurious, right down the street from The Crescent. Has a steakhouse called Stillwell's
-The Mansion on Turtle Creek is a Dallas staple though, I've never stayed there but love the bar and the overall property and area.

Restaurants:
-Mister Charles is an awesome restaurant for both food and atmosphere. It's not cheap but I had a great experience both times I've been.
-Javier's is another Dallas staple. More of a mexican steakhouse than tex mex. Filet cantinflas, quail, or mojo de ajo are my go to entrees. They have a cigar bar if thats your thing.
-As others have mentioned Bobs (the lemmon location) is a classic.
-If you are looking for upscale sushi, I'd go Uchi over Nobu all day.

If you want to eat in Highland Park Village:
-Fachini for italian (I actually like his other restaurant Nonna better, though. It's right down the street from Bob's)
-Cafe Pacific for steak/seafood.
Check out The Notary... its a redeveloped historic building right next door to downtown Marriott
