Pigeon and whale is killing it on all fronts, but their drink specialty is definitely the negroni. Good bar menu, albeit a little one night, and great food. For a high end meal, they're hard to beat. Ancoras bar program is not to be slept on. Great pizza and appetizers, haven't explored anything...

Mostly surprised it took so long. Hypoxia you should go to sleep with the quickness, not struggle like asphyxiation. Sounds like Alabama managed to frick up the means and methods. Edit: It still worked, just not the way expected....

Water has to be flushed, something with chlorination of the initial shot of water. Either way, this is ridiculous. We're one of incredibly few places in the country that accept this. There's a reason Louisiana is one of the only low cost of living states that people are leaving in mass....

Really depends on what your collection looks like, what you're willing to pay elsewhere, and what you like. I got pulled in September, tons of no shows so everyone got to go pick several baskets. Lots of Stagg, Weller 12, 107, Blanton's, and a 4 roses barrel pick. Baskets come with some actu...

I'm torn on this. On one hand your selection is generally small. On the other hand your beers are cheap for stadium prices. Go buy a beer from Petco Park and you'll have a better selection than most bars in Baton Rouge, but you'll pay $20+ for it...

Carrollton raffle was well worth it. About 20 of 50 showed. Walked out with stagg, Weller 12, and Blanton's baskets. In-laws are coming in town next week and will demolish the wine from the Weller and Stagg, Blanton's basket is a gift. Overall, a good use of time. We've got a bunch of events...

Gotta be honest, my collection is looking real slim lately. Might not be anything good, but I don't have time to hunt. If I can show up and buy a bottle of something above average at retail price, I'll take it. Also really hoping alot of people just don't show because they're expecting the g...

Prisons typically aren't exactly built on the best of land. If you make it over one or even two fences, you won't get far. Elayn Hunt and Angola have ditches frickin everywhere and they're isolated enough that you'll know real quick who's out of place. Look up prisons and you're bound to find...

I just recently bought a lab diamond rock. If you put it under a microscope, the patterns in the crystalization can be found which will give it away as lab. Key point to remember here, only under a microscope can this be seen and it's in the pattern itself, not the clarity. The long and shor...
