Sure, but the city’s now filled with this progresserati. They’re no longer a niche.

The $4 upcharge was at Wegmans, in one of their in-store Burger Bars. But I think the Bareburger near me has a similar $4 upcharge.

I had Hopdoddy when I was in Austin: it was pretty good!

I lived in Columbus, which isn’t even in the top 10 American cities, but look at the pictures and you will see how nice it looks

Food at festivals are usually rip-offs, whether if they’re à là carte or one of those multi-ticket sampler kinds.

At best, you wait in line for so long that you only have enough time/money to try two things that you can get more quickly/cheaply/tasty better outside. At worst, it’s an outright scam, like this New York…

I think just read somewhere that they just added a new line, so hopefully the supply issues will be resolved (some). I had to pay a $4 surcharge for my Impossible Burger, which obviously isn’t going to fly if the plan is to convert meat-eaters.

What is Gardner doing with that bat? A True Yankee™ like Paul O’Neill would’ve unleashed that bat on two water coolers and four helmets by then.

Count me in as one of those flexitarians: I think meat is great, but I’m perfectly willing to cut my meat consumption by 50% or more if these plant-based burgers can replicate the taste.

Had an Impossible Burger at Wegmans recently that I thought I’d have hard time telling apart from regular meat burgers. The key is…

I bet light would travel faster if someone would just think to put wings on them.

That’s fair.  I love Rudy, but potentially paying him the supermax when it’s questionable if he can stay on the floor deep into the playoffs is very iffy.

I think a “franchise” player tag will be kicked around, but the NFL-stink/stigma is way too strong. Plus, if it’s applied on annual basis, it’ll alienate players—”you don’t think I’m worth a long-term max commitment?”—and also obviously favors management. My 75% supermax cap hit proposal avoids this since the players…

Well I think the supermax salary has to count for some portion of the cap: think how many good/starters/useful role players Golden State could load up with if Steph and Klay’s supermaxes don’t count towards the cap? It’ll also aggravate the wealth gap between the big and small markets, since only the richest teams…

Yeah, the top-5-8 players in the NBA aren’t the problem—though Russ was definitely in that top-8 when he signed that supermax and everyone already knew it would age poorly—it’s the #10-20 who might get All-NBA Third Team. Restricting the supermax to the All-Second team will help.

But what the NBA really needs to do is…

The problem with the supermax is that the true superstars like LeBron and KD will still be underpaid and generate enough off-court money that they’d rather have the flexibility to play where they want, with whom they want.

For “stars,” players #10-20 who aren’t good enough to be leading stars on a championship team,…

Definitely Susie Greene.  Shara is perfect.

Thanks, and agree with you on the nickel-and-diming. Given how angry it makes people, it’s shocking how oblivious some of these restaurateurs are.

But I disagree with you on when to inform customers of the “benefit surcharge”: telling them when they sit down is way too late. Dining out almost always involves…

Somewhere, Rex Ryan is scrambling to find a way to superimpose his face onto Shaq’s in that footage.

Just tried to buy these and Amex flagged it for fraud. Took a closer look at the discussions and saw a ton of problems, such as refurbished, non-US warranty, no serial numbers (so no warranty), etc, etc.

Not the first time I’ve been burned by The Inventory/Kinja Deals, will be the last.  Com’on guys...do some vetting.

Don’t forget Rick Ankiel before and during the yips. A reenactment:

I think you may be onto something in the aggregate.

That said, handball is abnormally popular in Germany—Dirk Nowitzki’s father was a international-level handball player and Dirk himself played it growing up—and water polo is popular in the former Yugoslavia.
