Not sure in what category, but I’d add Station 6 to that list

Not traditional BBQ (more higher-end Tex Mex with smoked meats and good margs), but I thought Little Coyote was incredible. Only open for dinner though.

Food and atmosphere both better at Shaya IMO

i was on a flight on the Sunday after the CrowdStrike issue where United needed 8 volunteers. A few people took the $600-1k offer, but the last four spots went for $4k/person. Obviously not normal circumstances since they had to get pilots on the plane as passengers who were stuck in ORD. I overheard from one of the pilots that they had approval to go up to $5k/person.

Chattanooga has an underrated food scene. Plenty of good breweries too

RIP Fishers. Anyone know what’s going to happen to that location?

Chattanooga isn’t a bad drive. Decent amount of things to do with kids (rock city, ruby falls, Tennessee aquarium, children’s museum, etc.) Solid food and brewery scene too

There’s a ton of resorts within an hour of LA or SD off the PCH

No station 6? I’d argue it serves up some of the best seafood in Nola

I waited ~2 hours in line for it back in 2017 and it lived up to the hype for me.

re: Going to the Auburn game at Cal next month. Is Berkeley an ok place to visit, or do we..

Posted by pnut53088 on 8/7/23 at 9:22 pm to auwaterfowler

Berkeley is nice. I was just out there not long ago. Feels like a cleaner, more local SF. A bunch of really good restaurants in the area too. Highly recommend Pizzeria da Laura.

If you like Costera, you’d probably really like their sister restaurant Osteria Lupo.

Gianna does a pretty good one as well. Both are more feed me menus though.

Saint Germain is incredible but not sure they could seat 8-10 at one table. And the price is considerably higher than family-style feed me menus
