Did the Waterloo crawfish boil last Saturday. I don't know how you achieve dried out boiled crawfish but they did it. 

Want to plug Troy in NW Austin, at Mesa and Spicewood. Absolutely delicious Turkish place, family owned. Been there for a while. Call in your order, pay over phone, and they have it waiting at the door.

No particular deal or anything, but did order from there tonight and they snuck some free Turkish rice pudding into the order. Mostly just want to give them some word of mouth because it's the kind of local place you really want to see survive, and it's honestly one of my favorite places in town too. Really good.

Love Troy.
We did takeout from Fat Dragon tonight. They don’t do the soup dumplings for takeout, but everything else was great.

Yeah--now that I can dash up Mopac at 120 MPH, it suddenly makes sense for me to check out some of these NW Austin spots.

Heh. I definitely did a drive around town at normal rush hour a couple weeks ago just to experience that. I did drive a bit tonight and it seems like traffic is creeping back. No delays or anything, but more people on the road. Purely anecdotal though.

Manchaca to Round Rock this morning in half an hour.  7:15-7:45am.  No express lane.  

Did curbside at Poolburger last night and there were at least 15 or 20 people standing out in front of Deep Eddy having beers?  I couldn't see inside but the door was open and it looked busy in there too?  I love Deep Eddy and have spent a considerable amount of time there over the years but what the fuck is that all about?

I gotta tell you, I had a mediocre experience last night.  And again--it was a deal with the packaging.

I'm sure the food for dine-in is great.  But when you're doing packaging, a lot of the sauce needs to stay on the side.  Otherwise, it just makes the whole dish soggy as I'm flying down Mopac (including blowing by a cop at about 95).

Did curbside pick up at Deep eddy. Picked up a 6 pack and a ham & cheese sandwich.  Only 2 people allowed inside to order then go. Some were waiting to go inside and order, staff wearing masks.  Looked like a few folks outside maintaining distance and all wearing masks.

Tumble 22 does a picnic basket on MON and TUE for $20...8 piece chicken, Mac n cheese, collards, and coleslaw. Got it tonight. The chicken pieces were turkey sized. Quite the deal.

El Dorado Cafe is ramping up to-go orders, which is promising news for whenever restaurants are opened again.

are you talking about Troy?  Or Fat Dragon?  I think Troy but your quote references both places.

Sorry--Fat Dragon.

Out here in the land of milfs and honey, my little milf wants some enchiladas and margaritas. About to go pick up some stupid big order from Maudies.

You know there are rules, right?  Also, Maudie's sells margherita kits as well fwiw.

Pick up some pics while you're there.  You heathen.

As long as a certain “special” sandwich shop in West Campus survives I’ll be fine.
I think you meant "important".

Did the Suerte meal last night with Suadero Brisket Tacos. It was awesome. Also got them to send everything for their Don Dario margaritas. 
 

10/10 pandemic meal

Did the family taco pack from El Alma today. Ton of food for $40. 

We picked up some catfish and shrimp from Cherry Creek Catfish.  They somehow got the fried fish to become flavorless.  The service sucked also, won't be going back for a while.

That does. Thought about via but decided to do Austin pizza garden instead

Lol. Fuck out of rep. There is a 313 right around the corner from Austin pizza garden. 

To be fair, it was a 50 minute lead time for the East 6th location versus an hour and a half at the Guadalupe location. I live in between. And half the fuckheads walking around East 6th weren’t wearing masks including the cunt ahead of me in line who left in a Prius.

I know, order it a lot. Changed it up and went with something different to spread the wealth

Via 313 fucks.

I don't usually like pepperoni but The Detroiter kicks all kinds of ass.

It’s an all-time great...man, may need to do that later this week.

Via is fantastic but my one large pizza (read: no beers, appetizers, desserts, etc) cost $46 the other night.     

It’s always been my Top 2 in Austin but thats pretty damn absurd for a pizza place, especially when I get two larges from both Homeslice and Little Deli for the same price.

$46 is expensive, I had not noticed that Via was that much more then little Deli so I just did a check.

A large cheese at Via is @20, and extra toppings are $2 so if you got a 4 topping pizza it would be $28 + tax and tip. At Little Deli a large is not$16.50 and toppings are $2.50 so that same four toppings is $26.50 plus tax and tip. Not a huge difference. 

I am assuming you got some speciality pie with mods to get up in that price range (unless you were including tax and tip/

I ordered the usual Carnivore with one additional topping of extra cheese at $4(!!!).  Via is adding a 15% surcharge on all orders during Covid which brought the total to $37.  Standard 20% tip and it was $45 and change. 

The meat combo at Little Deli is $22 with $2.50 extra cheese topping.

Again, not a big deal because our household does one of Via, LD or Homeslice at least once a week, but Via is always considerably more expensive.  

Alamo Drafthouse has a lasagna meal kit that comes with a jigsaw puzzle and a DVD of their choice for $60. It’s a frozen Stouffers lasagna.

Seriously? I don't mind having to pay a little extra to help keep places afloat, but that's fucked up.

Yes.

Thx.  Going to order dinner for my son and his fiancee this week then.

haha, i also have to know if this is for real or just a funny characterization of a crummy Alamo-made lasagna

For real. My neighbors picked it up. He's actually a Drafthouse corporate employee on furlough. 

$15 worth of products for $60. Seems fair.
