Well it’s the Chef’s Choice 615A . Aside from that it does a nice job slicing meats

Back in January I made some pastrami. Cook setup was optimized to spend almost no time outside. Charcoal snake with some real wood kindling for smoke, finished in a low over. Pretty happy with the results. Flat was cut in half to fit in bags for the cure.

I dunno if it’s the best thing for breakfast but I’m really looking forward to having a full Irish on Saturday Morning

Tom, your bacon is great. The beauty of bacon is the striation between the fatty parts and the meaty parts. This is all lost when you cook it to crispy.

Seeing Backstreet Boys at The Sphere in July for SIL’s birthday. Should be fun. Staying at the Venetian which is basically a foreign part of the strip to me.

Word on the street is Beef-A-Roo is close to opening?
Hawaiian Bros Island Grill going in off hwy24 next to Canes.
Whataburger in the old BK in aggieville??
Beef-A-Roo has been close to opening for over a year now. Never seems like a good omen when a place sits in limbo like that.
Same with Hawaiian Bros.

Haven't heard the Whataburger rumor and I believe the building is still up for sale/rent so I strongly doubt that one. Hawaiian Bros has a "Coming Soon" sign in front of the former Starbucks? location on 24. Sidenote: had Hawaiian Bros two weeks ago for the first time and I truly do not get the hype. But I rarely get fast food hype so

I think the sign says sold on the BK building now, idk who bought it tho.
I think that is a former Panera on 24.
I'll just be happy for something new on the far east side.

An old rugby buddy of mine bought this place, think a Mexican place went in there

Tried the new diner in Aggieville, Full Circle, for brunch today. They were out of quiche (lol would not have ordered) and B&G because they got slammed but the brisket bennie I had was great. Was really impressed with the food and service considering it was their first week open.

And this is that same friend’s restaurant. They had good cocktails and a burger when I was there right after it opened.

I wonder how well attended the next couple of rounds will be when they are at neutral bowl sites. If your team makes the championship game that would be 3 flights/hotels/tickets all over the country in 1 month just to see every game.

In Indiana's case instead of the Rose Bowl they get to go to South Bend for their reward for their best season ever.

As the 3rd place team in the Big 10, they probably wouldn’t have gone to the Rose Bowl

I'm planning a trip to New Zealand's south island for ten days next April. Anyone ever been?

Gonna rent a car. And go all over. Plan to stay at a couple of these. https://canopycamping.co.nz/find-your-escape

I'm open to advice on how to use my points. I've got around 213,000 points. Use them on flights? Hotels for when we're not at canopycamping?

Yes, but it was 2009, so things have no doubt changed. Spent time in Queenstown, Christchurch and Kaikoura on the South Island and Wellington on the north. All were great. Christchurch less interestingly so. Tons of international tourists and service industry folks in Queenstown, but for good reason, it’s beautiful. Kaikoura was an awesome quiet beach town, with mountains right there.
