    Tell me how hunky dory is if you went. Apparently it's on Houston restaurant weeks and we might check it out. Bernadines was really good, but way overpriced.

    Hoss Bonaventure you gonna try to go to Day for Night again this year? I think the lineup is out soon. They've been teasing an announcement recently and Songkick sent out an email that Washed Out is playing at it.

    Ate at Pappas Bros steakhouse tonight. Definitely the best restaurant steak I have ever had. The lobster deviled eggs were my favorite.

    Has anyone been to Something Wicked? This is my last year in Houston and debating if I should go or not.

    I thought it was good but overpriced. Bill was over $300 if I recall. Bernadine's next door was better imo.

    That new pizza place the next block over from dallas (cane russo or something) is supposed to be great too.

    Cane Rosso. Can confirm it is real good. Get the Honey Bastard pizza if you can deal with some spiciness

    Go to Karbach or 8th Wonder. St Arnolds is the most noteworthy brewery in town, but those two are more fun

    If you like Vietnamese, Hyunh is right between the two and is fire.

    BYOB though so maybe just walk out with some 8th wonder brews and profit.

    Or Pappa Charlies bbq which is right there as well and is the best in town tx bbq

    8th wonder kind of sucks compared to Karbach. But it is an easy walk to MMP.

    Same for 8th Wonder. Literally satan's asshole right now.

    Kirby Icehouse also suffers from this problem which is why i prefer Alabama ice house. Alabama has those white privilege big trees + covered areas.

    Last night was the most crowded I've seen a July game in about 8 years, so that may be tough. Plus it's red raider night at the ballpark so that'll add another 70 or so people.

    Ya we are winning so more people will show but I don't know what it is about the top of those sections but they are always open. I feel like some firm bought a huge chunk for clients and never use them.
