re: best friend/Hunting dog

I waited ten years to replace my first hunting partner with a new one. Now, she turns 13 in two weeks and I can't imagine waiting another ten years for my next best friend. As hard as it may be, don't waste any time. Add to the memories you made with the ones who've already crossed the Rainbow Bri...

Overland Sheepskin & Leather is what you're looking for. They sell a few styles in Wide width and the quality is hard to beat....

re: Showerhead recommendations?

I changed all of my shower heads to Speakman Icon-S series a few years ago and have been extremely happy with them. Plenty of videos out there on how to easily remove the water restrictor prior to installation. The workmanship and materials are top notch. No hose though. ...
I've had two varieties of the Momofuku noodles and think they're pretty good for a quick, no mess meal. You won't mistake them for dining in the restaurant, but the noodles are ready to eat in just 3-4 minutes. They taste just fine right out of the package with noodles and sauce. To me they beg to...

I 100% agree with your take on Roegel’s-Katy. It’s almost as if all the smoking is done at the Voss location and kept in a warmer at the Katy store. Russell is giving people a terrible Roegel’s experience if they don’t dine at Voss. My moist brisket was dry and room temp. The ribs weren’t even close...
Don’t miss the bone-in veal parmesan at Jonathan’s the Rub on Memorial. Eddie V’s at CityCentre has the best ribeye and martinis. Joy Love on Memorial @ Dairy Ashford has excellent cheeseburgers. The original Lupe Tortilla on Stafford Street for beef fajitas and margaritas; El Tiempo on Gessner for ...

Vintage Crown michelada bar on 23rd Street just down from the Tremont House hotel is worth a stop for sure....

If it were my animal I’d take it to B&B on the northwest side. Mike has done a few mounts for me and lots of African game for buddies. He does top notch work for a fair price. He’s not the least expensive and not the fastest but I’d certainly trust him with a trophy for my wall. [link=(https://ww...

Underground Creamery’s procurement process is part of the allure. He will riddle you the “drop time” in his IG story. The answer to the riddle will clue you into go time for the sale. Be sure to have your payment info preprogrammed into your account on his site or you’ll never get a pint. Literally...

Jeni’s Honey Vanilla Bean will convert anyone from Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla. Most of her other flavors will keep you out of the Blue Bell freezer, too. Van Leeuwen Kraft Mac and Cheese ice cream is cream of the crop. VL has a few new shops popping up around town. You can also checkout Undergr...

re: Warm Water Bidet Question

Posted by Badmug on 3/12/22 at 5:17 am
I’ve had Toto 350e’s at my house for a few years and definitely appreciate the instant warm water, warm drying air and warming seat. All temperatures can be adjusted via the remote control. I had an electrician add outlets behind the toilets in order to hide all wiring and plumbing. Toto’s e-water ...
I get my muffuletta fix at Paulie’s Poboys. Their bread is correct on the “whole sandwich” but they also make a smaller version on a poboy bun. They spread a little mayonnaise on one side and homemade olive salad on the other. I normally get my fix at the store in front of Royal Oaks CC but their o...

re: San Antonio Hotel / Trip Recs

Posted by Badmug on 9/15/21 at 6:12 pm
My two most recent stays in SA have been at La Cantera and Hotel Emma. Both are great properties but I think Emma lends itself more to celebrating an anniversary. It’s located in the Pearl District where there’s always something going on, not to mention the excellent dining options within walking di...

If you haven’t yet tried any of Dunbarton Tobacco & Trusts offerings do yourself a favor and pick some up when you see them. I’ve only been smoking a few years but got turned onto Steve Saka’a sticks early on. I’ve yet to find one I truly dislike. Most of them are very enjoyable. His Sobremesa Brûlé...

re: Evacuation Eats thread - Houston

Head down to Pier 6 in San Leon for really good seafood on the water. You’ll get a great view of the ship channel bridge across the bay from their expansive covered patio. After a few Liquid Sunshines you won’t be able to see the bridge anyway. On the drive down, stop by the Chopping Block in Webst...
Go see Chef Austin at Tris across from Cynthia Woods. Cureight was their tasting menu only dining room inside a dining room but is on hiatus. I’m certain he’d still put together some of those Cureight dishes for you. It’s hard to go wrong with anything that comes out of his kitchen. ...

I’ve got a B&M local to me who keeps all of the Alma Fuerte line in stock. I’ve really enjoyed the Generacion V Salomon and the Sixto Natural Colorado Claro and highly recommend both. The Salomon vitola is unusual but burns so well that it’s hard to believe other producers haven’t adopted it. I’ve ...
