Went there Thursday night for the first time in decades, no reason not to go, just got out of our rotation. I can't remember the last time I enjoyed a dining experience as much. First off, everyone was very happy with the food, great calamari appetizer, osso bucco was incredible, everything was over the top.

The service was impeccable, all of the service people were attentive. And the bonus was so many attractive young ladies in summer dresses.

A real delightful dining experience. Good job Mike.

Recommend a tracker that plugs into the OBD-II jack under the dash, you can track constantly. We saved a young man's life, he got into drugs and was going into extreme danger. 2 decades later, he's a great dad.

My wife is showing sighs of dementia, I geo fence her, so I'm always aware.

Who watches local new any longer

This is becoming great entertainment..

Jindal should’ve never let that building go so long

Yes and no. Should the building have been maintained better, yes, if the funds were available. The issue was Charity was less of a hospital to serve the medical needs of the community, and more of a jobs program. Every politician in N.O. used jobs at Charity as a way to get votes, compared to other public hospitals its size, it was overstaffed by support personnel.

Before he was governor, when he was head of hospitals, Jindal was the wonderkid of healthcare, he made every dollar count. He commented once on TV, "It would be cheaper to load up charter jets and fly all the patients to the Mayo clinic for treatment, than to continue to operate Charity Hospital".

I think it's very good for what it is, but not even in top 10.

It's just an outdoor toy, we guys love toys, something new to play with. I've had the same results by just putting a cast iron plancha on top of the gas grill. Easy to control, can sear a steak, make smashburgers or pancakes, very low space and cleaning requirements.

I'm all about KISS.

Kinda the same category as the pellet smokers. I've spent many years developing the skill to control a wood smoker, to get it in perfect temp to smoke either salmon, bacon, pulled pork, ribs, whatever, I don't want to lose that skill to run a smoke machine any idiot can use.

Time to hit the reset button.

I recently attended a small meeting with the Coach, he talks quite a bit about to effort his team is putting in to get rid of the bums at intersections. I found out that they are largely not "bums", but organized crime. They have shifts, sell drugs, the most prolific was I-12 and Drusilla, which employed 16-20 "bums".

Sid came in a bit naive, but has transformed himself into a very effective mayor.

My dad swears up and down about a place that might not even be open anymore, Al T's in Winnie. Every single time we pass through Texas he brings up Al T's and a Dairy King place around that area. He swears they have the best Etouffee he's ever eaten. I'm sure someone here knows the status of Al T's.

I used to do a lot of business in that area, the one thing I looked forward to was stopping at Al T's for a meal. Everything from the fried oysters to the chicken fried steak was excellent, I sent dozens of people there on my referral. Then something happened in the late 90's and it went to hell, real bad, real quick. I stopped doing business in the area, so I lost track.

In a few weeks, we are going to drive to League City, I would love to hear that is has returned to its former glory. It's been there for decades, right where I got off I-10 to go to the Galveston Ferry.

I can't eat the product, fat and carbs, but I admire what he has done. In spite of all the bitching on here, a lot of people enjoy the product.
