I like Camp Bowie and the bricks.

 

It’s great to look at. Not to drive on.

    Goddamn thread title.   

  • Ugh. When I first moved here in 2010 they used to have an old Expedition that neighbors would volunteer to drive around the neighborhood all weekend with a "SECURITY" sticker on it. Fucking stupid.

Benbrook is getting a Hoffbrau at 20/377, will be the first real non-fast food option. Will probably bank for awhile. 

I really like the look of the bricks on Camp Bowie, but the continuous maintenance is a pain in the ass. I would be fine doing away with it if they switched over to the brick colored concrete and had brick patterned stamping. You know, where they throw the powder over it like they can do with patios. I just don't know anything about the lasting quality and aesthetics. 

Today is Smoke Pit’s last before it reopens next month as the newer Sammie’s.

Is Buffalo Bros any good?  Never tried it.

New one on Throckmorton next year in the old Oliver’s Fine Foods.

Zolis pizza building a restaurant at houghton/hulen halfway between central market and vickery. The thought of building a free standing 5,000 sq ft non fast food restaurant in FW seems beyond risky.

Anyone going to Oktoberfest this weekend? Tickets only 10 dollars.

Yep. I also cant imagine getting in and out of the parking lot to cross Hulen. That area is a shit show with traffic.

I ate at Snooze in Denver at it is awesome.  Can't wait for it to open.

 

I tried out the new BBQ place in Montgomery Plaza last night.  Complete garbage, can't see how they will stay open unless the oyster half kills it.  I had very low expectations too.  At least the previous shitty BBQ place there hid their crap BBQ in nachos and cheese fries that actually made it good.  This place just has the typical BBQ menu of meat and sides.  I had brisket and sausage and both sucked.

that zoli's is going to be badass and do really well.  its a good concept.

yea the concept does look good. will definitely give it a try but man trying to turn left out of that location to go south on Hulen will be a shit show especially with the traffic coming up that hill going north on Hulen.

Well sheeit.  Always loved Smoke Pit's sammiches and staff.  Sammie's has never done anything for me with regard to either. 

Anyone been here?

Slice City Pizza opened in early September in a space that had looong been set for Flippin Pizza, which had gotten as far as putting its name on the door but never opened. According to Star-Telegram “Eats Beat” columnist Bud Kennedy, Slice City, which advertises “N.Y. Slices and Pies” on the banner covering up the Flippin sign, comes from the extended Joe’s Pizza & Pasta chain of restaurants in DFW. 4601 West Fwy. No. 220 (on the Hulen Street side of the Chapel Hill shopping center anchored by Central Market)

 

Finally made it to Panther City BBQ. the place is legit. All i got was brisket, brisket tacos, and the cracked pepper sausage. they were out of everything else. Brisket reminded me of Mueller. Lots of black pepper, could've used more salt. But smoked very well, fat was fully rendered. i don't know if they are making their own sausage, but it was my style. Coarse grind, great snappy casing.

Went yesterday, was trying to figure out something quick and easy after church. wasn't bad. Nizza is better. You can get four big slices of pizza for $15. 

There’s a Nizza on Cooper that is fucking horrid, greasiest shit I’ve ever been served, & on more than one occasion. Same joint? 

Same logo as the University spot, hopefully that one is much better. 

Have never had a bad pizza from the Nizza on University. it's been a long while, may have to go carb load soon.

That pizza place isn't bad for a quick lunch, ppl working there seem very nice. And the wife/mom is hawt

You definitely picked the best place on University to carb load.

Agree X 2.

 

Destroyed a Nizza Meat Lovers after the KSt game. Place is solid, and some of the entrees and other things aren't bad either. 

I like the chicken parm sandwich and the chicken al vodka. 

This Effin city just can't get pull the dildo from its ass, panther island project's federal funding cut from the 2018 federal budget

For those of you that refuse to pay for ST access because they are way to liberal like myself, story says the new Fed spending bill did not fund Panther Island/Trinity River Vision to the tune of $500 million. Those damn bridges on Henderson are going to be over dirt for the foreseeable future. (if they ever finish them)

And if you go to their home page and open a story incognito on chrome that works too, just gotta do one article at a time. 

 

The article says it's out of the 18 and 19 budget... so how much $ is in the bank and how quickly does that run dry?

DO NOT QUOTE ME ON THIS, but if I remember correctly, it would cost $1 billion with FW in for 1/4 (with bonds), Texas in for 1/4 and the Feds in for 1/2. It was part of the "shovel ready" Obama stimulus bill in 2009-2010.

Had to hit the quote button, Couldn't help it. The latest figure is 1.16Bn cost.

If it has really been 10 years that is a very mild overrun for the govt.

I ran by that place this morning and my thought was.... this is stupid! It is way too hot most days of the year for this to be enjoyable. The membership thing makes it ridiculous.

My wife has taken our dogs to Mutts twice already. They all seem to like it.

 

Anybody going to tech/tcu? I'm making my first trip to Amon Carter for it, hard to beat fall weather and an actual power 5 matchup on a Thurs evening in your back yard. 

Im assuming the couple campus bars on University are a total zoo pregame, bad enough to avoid outright?

Edited by bluto

I don't want to shock anybody but another restaurant closed. Midici pizza in left bank, behind hopdoddy. Not shocking, only went once and just ok. I'll be surprised if it re-lets anytime soon with the weird finish out. 

I hear ya on hopdoddy, expressed same 'concern' in this thread months ago

I have no idea how this fucking city allowed that development in the city center. That dump looks like it belongs in vehicle sprawled suburbs like Keller. 

Same with the area behind Montgomery Plaza. Yeah what you really want in prime real estate near downtown is a parking lot for 2000 cars, and an Office Max and a Marshall's.

They allowed it because our beloved mayor saw dollar signs and that's all she cares about.  The whole 7th street development has been a shit show run by developers.

to be fair, she likes biking too.

Her previous gig was the Tax Assessor, should have seen this coming.

I'm not a fan of either development, but I'm curious what y'all would have put back there instead/done differently. Y'all have a much better grasp of this city than I do. 

Ginger Man on Camp Bowie closing down, last day Oct 21. Appears the landlord sold off to a developer

RIP, Rick’s On the Bricks. Wasn’t that the same location? 
Yes
