Unfortunately, wine publications operate almost completely as paid advertisement for the wines featured/rated. The ratings magically are higher for labels that advertise heavily. We used to call Wine Spectator “Wine Speculator” in the biz.

Old timey but The Trolley Stop on St. Charles and Barrone in NOLA was the paragon in ‘97

Fun fact: The Charles Mulligan steakhouse in Parks and Rec is a thinly disguised version of Sullivan’s Steakhouses, a chain with something like 14 locations across the US. It’s the same, down to the fact it’s named after a bare knuckle boxer from the early 20th century. 

you have that backwards...the LAPD was in the studio’s pocket.

Sign me up!

The green thumb thing...eh...I guess the movies made money, so I can see the (incorrect) intention. Spurned was likely supposed to be spurred. The editing on almost all gawker is atrocious, and the writing is a bit suspect as well.

Nah, you’re being an ass. Same kind of ass that thinks “I had to [insert miserable experience] so others should do it too.” I spent 15 years in the “service industry” and there are very few people who wouldn’t want the day off, regardless of whether they spend it with family or just chilling on the couch by themself.…

Are you here for a good time or here for a long time? Everybody’s got a choice.

If you aren’t making Caesar dressing at home you’re doing it wrong. Anchovy, Garlic, Dijon, Parmesan, Worcestershire, Lemon, salt/pepper, and (easy hack) good Mayo. It sounds more difficult than it is, but the results will ensure you never buy the shelf stable, grocery crap again.

I’m intrigued...

It’s not even real tequila, its mixtos (51% blue agave, 49% grain alcohol...plus flavoring and coloring)

I think you’re looking for “paragon”. 

A true renaissance man

No love for the Meximelt? We truly are in the darkest timeline.

“...the people of Georgia deserve a person confident in their own intelligence to represent them...” I don’t know, Trump seems pretty confident of his own intelligence, so this doesn’t seem like it’s necessarily a qualifying attribute. Plenty of extremely stupid people think they’re smart. See: Lauren Boebert,…
