My wife and I have been to a bunch. Addison, in San Diego, was the best, followed by Le Benardin and EMP. Oriole, in Chicago, was the best 2 star, followed very close by minibar. Also, I would rate Oriole better than Alinea in Chicago.

We have a NYC trip planned in December and will be going to Atomix and Junsik.

For Christmas last year, my wife got me the components for making a dry aging chamber. She got me a mini-fridge, fan, humidifier and hygrometer.

I've done three of these this year and they have come out great. The last two that I did were 35 and 42 days. The 42 day steaks were noticeably better than the 35 day steaks. I'll go to Costco and grab a choice whole NY strip. I might do a prime ribeye next, but those run about $320 as opposed to the choice NY strip at about $120.

This is 2 days in


Here we are at 17 days.


And now at 35 days.


And finally at 45 days


The final product.

We really enjoyed Little Frenchie on Coronado Island. We had brunch there and then explored the island after.

BPC 157, TB500 for elbow pain

---

I am trying this right now.

I have had golfer's elbow for 3 months. I've tried the stretches and forearms exercises. I've tried the therabar, which seemed to work at first, but didn't really help.

I've now been using BPC-157/TB-500 for 3 weeks and am seeing positive results. I inject 300 mcg each subQ near the pain my elbow. I am able to do small sets chin-ups again with minimal pain. If I do a movement that irritates my elbow, like a 5 out of 10 on the pain scale, I no longer have lingering pain that lasts into the next day. I am hoping that another 2-3 weeks will have me mostly healed. It's definitely the best that my elbow has felt in months.

I tried BPC in the past to heal high hamstring tendinopathy, but I didn't have much success. I am finding that it paired with TB-500 is working.

I have also noticed great recovery from my workouts. DOMS has been non-existent.

I ate Locust this past weekend and had most of the items in that picture. It was very good, but not too 50 restaurants good.

We will be in NYC in December and plan to hit up Atomix and Junsik if we can get reservations.

We went in November of last year. We sat at the counter and thoroughly enjoyed it.

I have a Force USA G3

I have the Force USA G12. It is more than was the OP is looking to spend, but this is an incredible machine. It is very well built and a number of great attachments.

I make something very similar to this, and you are right, it turns out very much like a Frosty.

I like to make 4-5 batches at a time. I throw everything into a blender and then pour into the Creami jars.
