Tulsa and OKC
Hello Martha Fockers, Returned to Surly for the first time in a few months to find out why in the hell did El Chile close? WTF? In Austin for first time this week since I moved to Tulsa last summer and planning my fatass itinerary. Here’s and handful of T-town recs: - La Tertulia - 2nd street downtown - outstanding New Mexican restaurant - White River Fish Market - far north Tulsa near airport on north Sheridan - excellent fish market/restaurant that is similar to my old Austin staple Quality Seafood. - Merritt’s Bakery - holy shit…if you’ve got a sweet tooth you’ll hurt yourself in this joint. Couple of locations. - Society Burger legit. Ladies and gents…the Theta Burger: - Dozens of small hole-in-the-wall burger places, great new catfish place called Chippers Seafood at 104th and Memorial. I miss HEB, Dervin and Crown & Anchor, Madam Mam’s, and my old spots like Dart Bowl (bet y’all do too), trips to Coopers…not much else. Come up some time you sombitches. Boomer…

Austin Restaurants You Miss The Most
Great hush puppies and sides. We had a lot of good times there with family as my dad loved the place when they came in town.

So Long, Dry Creek
Had a few beers there during my time in Austin. I remember my wife and I going there for a sunset concert one night and a hive of bees had taken up residence in the wall next to the stairs. You had to bat them away on every return trip downstairs to the bar. Thankfully my time in Austin coincided with Cactus Cafe, Dart Bowl, Horseshoe Lounge, Shady Grove, and Dry Creek.

Las Vegas go hard or go home thread
Just returned from conference. Masks not that big of a deal. Water Grill in Caesar’s was tip-top. Can confirm, the whole city smells like an old school flop house in south Austin.

8/1, it’s time for the Hatch Chile thread
You’re very welcome and glad you liked the recipe. It’s a staple around our home in colder months that’s a great alternate between batches of chili. We’ve recently moved back to Tulsa, so I’ll have a hell of a lot cooler weather in store than my last fourteen years in Austin…lots of green chile stew and bowls of red upcoming!

Realignment talk not going away
Well…it did happen on a Tuesday after all.

Highway 54 from just south of El Capitan to Van Horn in nice. It’s especially nice after a day of hiking Guadalupe Peak and driving towards a great Mexican dinner with the sun lighting up the western sky at sunset.- Jake Ehlinger found dead near campus
Prayers for entire Ehlinger family from a Sooner. Watched both Sam and Jake’s entire Westlake careers and I’m just devastated to hear the news.- Help me create a signature cocktail
Balmorhea High Dive: Pecos cantaloupe slices blended Tequila Spring water (Ozarka not Balmorhea water you heretics) Ice Garnish with chile salt- Mmm hmm, reckon you make me some biscuits?

My childhood in a box: Yes. I was poor but didn’t know it at the time.- Dart Bowl closing after 62 Years
Finest chili gravy in the free world. Alas poor Dart Bowl enchiladas. I knew him...- Shady Grove - RIP
Dammit to hell. Only place in town that had legit good green chile for burgers. Old Austin is just about gone. I’m about ready to say adios to Austin too.- Airport Restaurants/Food Go-To's (Any City)
Yep. LAX is a damn zoo. However, if you rent a car (especially since new Uber LAX pickup is so f’ed up), there is an absolutely bad ass Greek restaurant called Aliki’s Greek Taverna directly across the street from Hertz at the SE corner of Airport and Westchester. It right in front of super sketchy looking motel but restaurant is separate family owned business that is awesome.- Airport Restaurants/Food Go-To's (Any City)
I can’t remember the names but Sacramento has some excellent options that I’ve tried in visits this year. Terminal B (Southwest) is really nice. San Diego has several good bars with local drafts. Phoenix has multiple good spots and one of the better connection cities for short layover. Some serious talent I’ve noticed on my visits this year as well. Newark and Kansas City suck ass.- 2019/2020 Hunting Thread
Feral cats are the worst, quail and songbird eating SOBs ever. Reminds me of the time we had a lease in northwest Texas and a feral cat pissed in my buddy’s truck. We were rolling back in from the deer stands on the make when we saw the cat trot off from under his truck. My buddy slams on the brakes and lays his 300 win mag across the rest. Fluffy disappeared in a red cloud.- Chili w/o beans
#3 for freshly ground chiles or reconstituted. Massive upgrade over store bought chili powder. Also, the Lynn Hejtmancik recipe is my go-to as well. I use the Better Than Bouillon beef and chicken broth and add two bans of Original Rotel are my only changes.- Recs for Southern California (around Orange County)
Just returned from business trip to OC/SD last week and tried a spot in Newport Beach called Bear Flag Seafood Company that was great. They had fresh yellowtail and Opah on menu Thursday night that was tip top. Marine Room is a cool bar in Laguna Beach and a great place to hike is Top of the World Park in the hills over Laguna. If there’s snow on the San Gabriels in January, that spot’s view is unsurpassed.- 2019/2020 Hunting Thread
No 5*. Just a good place to pop an Axis doe. I’ve seen some of the craigslist posts but some of the ones I’ve seen look like one of those 100 acre pens where they’ve got a mix of malnourished animals. The craigslist ads I saw didn’t inspire confidence. Looking for something out by Menard, Junction, etc.. that has wild, healthy animals - probably post season Jan-Feb. timeframe, so plenty of time to look around. Everybody I’ve talked with raves about how good Axis taste, so the fat bastard in me is intrigued.- 2019/2020 Hunting Thread
Anyone have some info. on an axis hunt day lease? I hunt up by Abilene (hence nada Axis) but want to try some Axis meat this year.- Big Tex Food Finalists and Awards
Damn. I’m sorry I missed these this year. Both in the food court? I think I did drink $60 worth of fair tickets of beer, so I’ve got that going for me. Look.....Ceedee just scored again...- State of Oaxaca Questions
Both of these restaurants in the Crucecita downtown area of Huatulco are fan-dam-tastic: Alfredo’s - coastal Mexican and mescal. Alfredo’s El Jefe Shrimp dish is one of the meals I’ve ever had. Giordano’s - literally next door to Alfredo’s. Incredible Italian food. Ton of Italian expats living in Huatulco and this is the spot where they eat. - Texas Scenic Drives and Roads
