re: Please vote for Doe’ steakhouse in Greenville, Ms for best southern steakhouse
Posted by MidCityTiger on 4/6/25 at 10:06 pm
If, on one of those trips, your steak would have been grossly overcooked (as mine had been); and you had no way to wait the 45-60 minutes required to get another one cooked, would you have thought some compensation fair on a $60 steak? I suspect you would.
I wasn’t asking for a free meal, just some reasonable fairness, when what I got was a “take it or leave it attitude.” They didn’t seem to care about my business, so they’ve never gotten it again.

The real question is whatever happened to that big, hollow chocolate egg that Elmer’s filled with little cubes of their chocolate?

Kinda depends on where you live, Sport. I guarantee you no one in Pointe Coupee Parish thinks of the Bonne Carre when someone refers to the “Spillway.” Likewise, for surrounding parishes.

Wouldn’t vote for a Doe’s if my life depended on it.
I took my dad to the one in BR for a steak during his cancer treatments. We had to be back for more treatment in two hours.
I ordered a steak medium; and, forty-five minutes later, it came back dry and well-done. When I pointed this out, I was told they could cook another one correctly; but it would take another forty-five minutes.
I explained we didn’t have the time because of my dad’s treatment schedule. They basically responded with a “take it or leave it” attitude. No effort was made to provide even a partial discount. So, it was sixty bucks for a steak that was poorly cooked and not even close to how I ordered it.
Not long ago, I heard one of the owners talking about how important customer service was to them. I found it laughable.

Selling Info Needed

Is there a place in TD where someone can sell an item. If not, does anyone have any suggestions?
I am having to buy a compact, dorm-style refrigerator for the weekend, but will have no use for it on Monday, and am willing to discount.

You might want to read “Dr. Mary’s Monkey” by Ed Haslam. You’ll find some of your questions answered there.

Those plays by outfielders are just as important and legit as the HRs. Think Ray Wright 2000.

I second this emotion. I’ve been bringing my car to Mark for 25 years. He is an expert. Honest and fair and lays out your options well.

New Fence
Posted by MidCityTiger on 2/27/25 at 8:41 am
When we both moved to our current homes next door to each other, there was a wood fence on the property line of my neighbor and me that separated part of our back yards. A few years ago, this fence blew down in a storm.
Recently, my neighbor told me he was contracting to rebuild “his” fence. Just letting me know, so I would be aware when the workers came. He was not asking for or hinting for money. The fence was likely built by the previous owner of his house, since it continues on his property that does not touch my property.
My question is this: should I offer to pay half the costs related to fence that runs down our mutual property line?
I’m just as interested in doing what’s right as I am based on what’s required by law.
Thank you.

re: Help me out with the definition of a sac bunt.

Incorrect. Safe at first on an error at first, and the batter is still credited with a sacrifice, as long as the runner advances.

If the bunter is safe on an error, and the runner safely advances, it’s still considered a sacrifice bunt.

It may have been written “poor boys”, but I seriously doubt those guys handing them out said it that way. It’s just not how we talk. It may be lost in our history now, but I can hear them saying, “Another PO’BOY!”

Shipping King Cake
Posted by MidCityTiger on 2/4/25 at 1:43 pm
My apologies if this has been asked.
Where is the best place to go in Baton Rouge to have a King Cake out-of-state? Is there a better place outside of Baton Rouge I can just call?
Any recommendations on which flavor to send? I’m guessing some hold up much better than others.
Thank you.
