My biggest issue with them is they’re outside and it’s fricking miserable out there 80% of the year down here.

---

That’s dramatic. We have decent temps outside at least half the year. October through April is usually really comfortable for evenings on the patio with some days being outliers and even some nice days through May.

Any cooking apparatus that helps keep the mess and smells outside with little effort is a plus in my book. Add to that being able to entertain and cook with guests and family outside is also a plus.

I doubt you realize how many restaurant meals you’ve had food prepared on a flat iron. Fajitas, shrimp, fish, veggies, burgers, steaks. Can you do some of those proteins better or different on an open flame, absolutely, but they also can give a really good/different option which is the point.

As long as it gets done....

:lol: I googled this fella. Glad I supplied entertainment to try to mitigate a Matt Morris response.

I've found a few responses through searches on here, but the recs are pretty limited surprisingly.

Jeremy Walolck LINKhas popped up on other places as quality work. Pinnacle recs have been hit/miss.

Surpsingly not a whole lot of good info on outdoor renovation folks have been made on here.

:cheers: Good luck sir. I made an offer that I think makes sense to me.

As I have stated, check Stub Hub for per game prices, especially Texas Game

---

I can check Stubhub all day long, but those are ticket prices that people set months before the season, hoping someone bites, but most of those sit there because people aren't paying those prices. If they were selling at those prices, they wouldn't still be listed. $350/game for every game for a 206 lot would be a great get for you! Again, good luck!

No clue on why they closed. The food was mostly very well done.

They seemed to do great lunch crowds and slow dinner crowds, but they closed early for dinner and didn’t serve alcohol (which if I remember correctly was due to religious beliefs). Not serving alcohol is a poor business decision regardless of reason for most places at dinner.

It is the best all around restaurant in BR , IMO

Can’t disagree and don’t know who I would put above for overall output and consistency from the whole menu.

As another said, the bar is good. nice bar for a “casual”’dinner with above average food.

Typically what I do. The boiling in unseasoned water deal is new to me.

---

It was to me as well when I started doing it, but I bought some shrimp off the boats many many years ago and after a few boils the peel success rate was inconsistent. So, I asked one of the deck hands wtf was up and he told me to do them in unseasoned water for better consistency. Now, I've been doing this shite for so long, I don't know if that's helped getting the peel good every time or that the shrimp I bought off the shrimper were just a few days past fresh when I froze them. Either way....the unseasoned does give me pretty damn good consistency and/or I just make sure I get them things frozen in time now.

Chat GPT:

Here’s a position-by-position comparison of the preseason expectations from the tigerdroppings.com Adam4848 thread vs. how those positions actually played out for the 2025 LSU Tigers baseball season (with real statistical/usage data from the season) — organized by key units (offense, defense, pitching):

? 1. Catcher (C)

Preseason Preview Expectations (Adam4848 / fan posts):

Cade Arrambide was noted as a top freshman catching prospect.

Fans speculated some catching competition with maybe veteran transfers or Arrambide taking early innings.

Actual 2025 Outcome:

Luis Hernandez emerged as the primary everyday catcher, starting ~49 games with solid offense.

Arrambide played significant backup time (~19 starts) but was not the full-time catcher.

Key Difference:
Preseason hype focused on Arrambide’s prospect status; in reality Hernandez led the position for most of the season.

? 2. Infield (1B, 2B, 3B, SS)
Position Preseason Prediction Actual 2025 Starter / Performance
1B Jared Jones expected to be middle-of-order bat Jared Jones started and hit effectively, anchoring first base.
2B Fans mentioned middle infield with Mic Paul / Milam possibilities Daniel Dickinson was the everyday 2B starter.
3B Left open / mixed speculation Michael Braswell III (and occasionally Tanner Reaves) at third base.
SS Expected solid production (Milam projected) Steven Milam was full-time shortstop, playing all games.

Key Differences:

Preseason chatter had uncertainty about some infield roles; LSU locked in a consistent starting infielder group all season.

Dickinson and Braswell were more established hitters than some preseason fans anticipated.

? 3. Outfield
Outfield Spot Preseason Talk Actual 2025 Usage & Performance
LF Derek Curiel expected to be a core freshman bat / star prospect. Curiel was the regular left fielder, hit around .345 and led team in many offensive categories.
CF Chris Stanfield projected due to speed/population in thread. Chris Stanfield predominantly started in center, consistent presence.
RF Some speculation about RF depth Jake Brown became primary right fielder.
DH / Role Not a big focus Ethan Frey was a significant DH hitting over .331 with power and run production.

Key Differences:

Curiel & Stanfield met or exceeded expectations, with Curiel playing like a bona-fide impact bat.

Ethan Frey’s breakout as a key power bat (DH) wasn’t a major preseason prediction but became a defining role.

?? 4. Pitching Staff
Weekend Rotation
Role Preseason View Actual 2025 Results
Friday Ace Pitching depth talked about with Anderson, Eyanson Kade Anderson was true #1 starter and postseason star.
Saturday / Sunday Eyanson & Shores mentioned as rotation pieces. Anthony Eyanson and Chase Shores contributed heavily.
Midweek / Depth Some talk of Schmidt, Rizy etc. as young arm prospects. Depth was used situationally (Schmidt, Cowan, Ware, Noot, Evans making spot starts).

Key Differences:

Preseason: rotation was projected on paper with Anderson/Eyanson.

Reality: rotation delivered real wins, with Anderson earning national honors and efficient innings throughout.

?? 5. Bench / Role Players

Preseason:

Fans hoped freshmen like Arrambide, Casan Evans, Mikey Ryan, Rizy, Costello might contribute as bench/role players.

Actual Impact:

Some freshman roles did materialize, but veterans and transfers played the major reps.

Freshmen were present, but consistent playing time remained with established starters.

?? Summary of Differences by Position
Unit Preseason Thread Expectation Season Reality
Catcher Freshman Arrambide breakout Veteran Hernandez led with Arrambide backing up
Infield Some uncertainty Defined, consistent starters (Jones, Dickinson, Milam, Braswell)
Outfield Curiel + Stanfield expected Curiel & Stanfield starred; Brown filled RF; Frey emerged as key bat
DH / Extra Hits Less discussed Frey became one of LSU’s best hitters
Pitching Anderson/Eyanson projected Rotation delivered top performance; Anderson earned national recognition
Bench Depth Highlighted multiple freshmen potentials Bench helped, but main roles went to core veterans

This was the correct answer until the geniuses at their corporate office took it off the menu. They have told me they run at every once in a while as a special but sells out very quickly. I’m not sure how a restaurant can sell out of a sandwich.

Nooo they just added it! It was not on there before (maybe years ago, but not in the past ~3 years)

---

They took it off the menu somewhere around 2020 and left it on the specials menu for a while where it routinely "sold out". That's an easy product to keep in stock without it going bad, but I never did inquire as to why it was pulled or why it kept "running out".

I was a regular orderer of it for years. Shoe string fries, honey mustard sauce, unbuttered bread.
