That's for pork ribs. The Texas specialty is beef ribs (though most places offer both). Also, the regional variation of chili calls for beef, and not any beans (of any kind).

Okay, really? You have absolutely no idea why people still buy SUVs? Lemme spell it out:

How profound: a female New York freelance journalist who couldn't help but wonder ... do guys have their own construct of "having it all"?

"Colorado City is prounounced Colo-RAID-o not RAD.

Again, this "single beef rib" is not comparable to a normal one. It's closer in size to a porterhouse steak, at least in terms of total meat content. The pics here really don't do it justice.

...assuming you've never been to Caffe Medici in Clarksville or next door to Congress (as in the restaurant), which has the best lattes in the state, but to each his own.

It's LANN-no.

You had me at Snow's, but lost me at the Salt Lick, still by far the most overrated barbecue in Central Texas (whether it's at the Driftwood location or not). In any event, I'd suggest trying the rib at John Mueller's, which I've actually eaten, before criticizing it.

"What jets exactly have you seen a belted toilet with a privacy screen pulled up from the floor that stops at shoulder level?"

Okay, I'm confused: the original challenge was to see how much one could eat in one day while driving a certain car. In this case the car happens to have a diesel engine and a tank large enough to drive 500+ miles — but that alone means you get to drive the car for a week as a part of the challenge? I'm not seeing how…

"Properly cooked ribs never have meat that falls off the bone... that's what overcooked ribs do."

I remain unclear on what seems so "implausible." I'm merely confirming the description of the toilet described in the article as something I've routinely seen, with my own eyes, on fractionally shared jets. I don't see any way whatsoever of installing an actual door without removing at least one seat.

That's how I read it, too.

"But a plane with no bathroom door? That really limits the plane this could be."

He said he could "barely" stand upright. And while there are indeed quite a few older jets out there, that doesn't mean newer ones are any bigger on the inside. In fact, they really aren't, and for pretty much the same reason a 787 isn't bigger than the 777 it preceded (it's narrower, in fact) and substantially…

This is probably surprising to most people who've never been on a private jet, but about 98% of them are tiny — and yes, that includes even many of the late-model, "elite" jets out there. The biggest defining point within this class of jets is merely whether they're "stand-up" or not, and I'm being literal here: the…

Yowza. Alright, I shall refrain from usage of incendiary language and hopefully put this dispute to bed after making the following points:

Okay, whaaaa? Where did I say anything about driving myself to LaGuardia? I meant via taxi or livery car or, alternately, taking the 4/5/6 up to 125th St. and hopping onto the M125 bus, which goes straight to the airport. (I've done all three under various circumstances.)

Dear EJP,

Actually, I was mainly referring to the African airports where Americans and Europeans rarely travel — certainly not Nairobi, kickoff point for many a rich person's safari, nor Dar es Salaam, the pitstop en route to climbing Kili. Get back to me once you've flown into any airport in, say, South Sudan or Burkina Faso.
