Texas BBQ
I took it home (whole, 1 1/2 lbs) and sliced it, and put some on my plate. I am sure he uses paper. My point was the bbq, not the serving method. And yes, at home, I use plates. Philistines... And, oh Champ, what are the round white things your food is served on in the photos on the Buck’s thread?

Texas BBQ
For those in the 620/Lake Travis barbecue wasteland: Just tried Jim’s Smokehouse, a trailer on 620 between Steiner and the dam. Legit bbq, good sides. Interstellar has been a Godsend out this way, but this is a good place with good bbq. The owner, Brad, is very nice. Trained at CIA, worked at Mezzaluna and Siena. Just laid a few pieces on a plate to show. The smaller rib is a baby-back

Just tried Jim’s Smokehouse on 620 (between STeiner and the dam, next to the taco trailer by Fort Fletch). Brad, the owner, is a nice guy, and the barbecue is legit. Check it out

Global Entry application
We live in Austin and my wife (who got her approval much later than I did) went to San Antonio because Austin was full and we were butting up against the time for our trip. SA had a lot of openings at that time

That’s a beat down. Relax and have some good wine.- Kauai
So here’s how I would put it. If you stay south, you’ll say “Damn, that was great.” After you take a day trip north, you’ll say “Damn, I should have stayed north.”- Kauai
I would stay at the Westin because it is on the North Shore. I have not stayed there, but have eaten there, and the property is nice. Will be in Kauai in October (4th trip there) and will be back on the North Shore. Nothing wrong with the south shore, but it is not the same in scenery or atmosphere By the way, the road past Hanalei is reopened. Plan on doing a Nepali Coast boat tour wherever you stay- Tell me bout Tampa Bay
Bern's is about the experience. Like going to the Salt Lick for bbq on a nice fall day.- The Napa / Sonoma Wine thread
At least you are going on a light traffic day...- The Italy Thread
Positano, on the Amalfi coast- The Napa / Sonoma Wine thread
I haven’t biked, but there seems to be plenty of space on 29 until you get to St. Helena. After that the shoulders and bike lanes kind of disappear. Silverado Trail seems to be a bad place to fight traffic — narrow and not much space.- The Italy Thread

Was just at SFO. Didn’t save me time, but it has many other times. Highly recommend- Wine
From Costco; not on sale now but they often have these on sale. I really like them -- wood shelving that rolls smoothly, plenty of storage. I like the side display rows they put in the middle: https://www.costco.com/Wine-Enthusiast-Giant-300-Bottle-Wine-Cellar-with-VinoView-Shelving.product.100378590.html- Wine

4 Days in the Valley Thursday: Arrived SFO in the morning. Lunch at Addendum, tour and tasting at Vine HIll Ranch with Bruce Phillips. Had the 2016. Great time. Happy Hour/heavy appetizers at Farmstead Friday Morning — Tasting at Fairchild with Larry Fairchild. Great time. Had the 2016 of the Fairchild George III and Sigarro, 2016 Stones 2 and Stones 3, and 2017 Stones 1. All were incredible. Afternoon: Tour and tasting at Arkenstone. Had the 2016 Estate, NVD and Sauvignon Blanc. All tasting nicely. Dinner at Market Saturday Morning: Tasting with Celia Welch at Corra. Lots of fun and excellent wine Grabbed sandwiches at Sunshine Evening: Summer release party and dinner at Krupp. Chef from Localis in Sacramento cooked the food on site. I need to go try his restaurant because the food was really good. Sunday Brunch at Farmstead Tasting at Somnium (the new Danica Patrick project on Howell Mountain. Aaron Pott is the winemaker). Had the rose and the 2015 and 2016 cabs. Nice, but need to mature and it seems like Aaron is still experimenting with the wines. Dinner at Goose & Gander All in all, a fun time.- Wine
