That is an absolutely phenomenal find. It reads like a post from 2019, yet is 17 years old. So much gold

Your unpopular food opinions
What’s an average fast food burger then? Here’s mine: Blue bell sucks, but not as much as Ben and Jerry’s Arby’s hyper processed sandwich meat is for the poors In N Out is only tolerable if you go bunless and their fries are never a good option. Scotch drinkers only like it because it makes them feel affluent Rudy’s breakfast tacos are overrated Torchys is better than taco deli despite using the world’s shittiest tortillas El Pollo regio is the best fast food chain on the planet New York street pizza is way overrated. For that matter, anything a New Yorker says is the best is generally overrated (looking at you shake shack) Maple and motor has the best burger in Dallas and there’s really not a clear #2

Grocery shopping
We’re cheap I guess. My wife stays home and does the shopping. For a family of 5, she goes to Aldi every week and Costco every 3 weeks. She typically sticks to Aldi’s organic products. They seem higher quality than comparable products at the Walmarts and Kroger/Tom Thumb/Albertsons of the world and considerably cheaper. I prefer Aldi’s organic milk to pretty much everything outside of Kirkland organic. Meat and produce is split between Costco and Aldi depending on quality and how fast we go through it. Aldi for chicken thighs, roasts, and other cheap cuts and Costco for pretty much all other meat. Also produce is real hit or miss, so it generally depends on what they have and how it looks. We can get our staple veggies at Costco if Aldi’s selection looks like crap. Packaged goods primarily Aldi...mostly cereal for the kids as we don’t eat a lot of that stuff, but also random snacks. Lunch meat, cheese, bread and condiments for kids lunches are primarily from Aldi. Grocery bill is about $100-$150 a week at Aldi and $200-$300 at Costco every 3 weeks depending on what household items we need. On good weeks, we’ll eat at a restaurant 1-2 times. On a bad week, it’s all weekend meals + wasted food. HEB in Dallas would likely change everything.

Rob Gronkowski retires from football
They can win without gronk. That O/U is still fair given Brady’s age with or without 2018 gronk, right?

Best Burger in Texas (and each state)
Discovered a hidden gem in the Richardson / North Dallas area - Sky Rocket Burger. It’s in an odd location, but easily my favorite burger in the area. Simple, greasy and delicious.

Apex Legends - New Battle Royale from Respawn (Titanfall)
Finally got my first two wins with the guys I play with tonight after playing once or twice a week since it launched. Feels nice. We generally suck.

Has anyone that has done a rental ever gone the private chef route? If so, any recommendations?

Dallas | Tex Mex
Carne asada is the way to go at Frankie’s vs their fajitas. They seem to cook it better that way and then you slice yourself to your desired thickness. Frankies is a weird Dallas suburb chain. It’s also known as Amigos (Beltline Richardson) and Casa Mama (many locations as well). They all have the exact same menu and food quality.

All Things Brisket
Might be a result of shitty trimming, but still worth sharing. I’d buy the wagyu again...it was a top 3 brisket for me.

All Things Brisket
I have no idea. I thought I read bigger briskets aren’t ideal.

All Things Brisket
Costco Dallas had the $4.99 / lb wagyu this week. Smallest one I could find was 16lb though. They had a couple 25lb +. That’s way too big, right?
