Food!

OMG, I've not been here for years...so much has changed in the DFW area
in the last 10-15 years. What's everyone's favorite place to eat these
days?

My kitchen. The quality's gone downhill most places, or they've
closed (looking at you, Cane Rosso Fairview).

Ok, what time should I be there? :)


I'm looking forward to Beerhead opening up in Plano. Not so much for
their food, by the looks of it, but for their beer selection. I was sad
when The Drunken Donkey in The Colony closed down, it's hard to find a
good selection of craft brews from around the world. Been going to
Guitars and Growlers in Richardson since they have a decent selection
and rotate often.

1) I am not licensed to serve food to the public and 2) you can't
afford my prices. Plus the atmosphere is horrible; one of my dogs
barks at strangers until she decides that they're okay (a process
that can take a few hours).

Lion and Crown in Watters Creek has a decent selection of draft beer,
although I wouldn't call any of it "craft." But it's $3/pint on Tuesday
evenings, so that's where you can find me. (I'm the fat bearded guy at
the bar working on a laptop.)

Since Nine Band Brewery closed I've also been going to Tupp's in
McKinney (typically only Saturday evenings when they have live
music).

And howzabout that Nine Band anyway? I've been waiting for Ashley
to go on trial so I can follow it. I really want to see what the
defense has to say....

As far as food goes, I think the only place I've eaten out (other
than lunch at a ramen or burger place) has been when the Cousin's
Lobster food truck is at Tupp's. Mmmm, lobster tacos.

Well darn, I'll just have to shove some stuff in the smoker for half a
day and go from there. I'm a dog person, I'm sure we'd bond soon enough.

I'll stop by sometime. I've not been there for a long time. I've been
maybe once or twice since The Londoner shut down.

Can't say I ever heard of Nine Band or any trial. I'll have to look it
up. I've had a few decent Tupps brews out of a can from the local beer
store.

My wife & son like the lobster truck. I don't really care of it it so
they've been down to visit when it's been at the Four Bullets brewery
in Richardson. They usually bring me back a growler of something or
other.

I do need to stay clear of the beer for a while, gout flared up :/

Ah yes, I do remember seeing something about that. Crazy stuff that
crazy people do.

BTW, I posted in dfw.music the other day about live bands if you get
that group.

Allopurinol is your friend. Ask your doctor.

Yup, air travel doesn't help - flew down to Galveston yesterday
afternoon and back today, too much beer, not enough water. Thankfully
it's just the one foot this time. Funny thing is my doctor upped my
dose from 100mg to 300mg but I've been taking 2x 100mg while I had some
left, no problem. I've been on the 300mg for 3 days and now I have an
attack. Seems odd. Anyway, wrong dfw group for that :)
