I've now been to 9 Michelin Starred restaurants - both in the US and international. All were 1 star except Emeril's. I'd say confidently Emeril's(>2023) is better than the other 8.

None of the Brennan's restaurants are in the same category IMO. The last few times I've been to Commander's I've left incredibly underwhelmed in all aspects - food, service, decor. It all feels dated. If I ever get to eat at the Chef's table maybe my opinion would be different.

I'd put Saint-Germain 2nd or 3rd overall.

Zasu was a curveball and wasn't on my radar. Will have to check them out.

Was surprised August didn't make the cut, but completely forgot about the Besh stuff.

Restaurant R'evolution recently redid some stuff and added a tasting menu. Really thought they might get more recognition.

All that said, small plate tasting menu's are not for everyone. I get it. Have family members and friends that I've convinced to come along but they'd probably never go back. Different strokes for different folks and all that jazz.

I think you need to find the trades available, agreed. AK said he would retire. No one is trading there.

People asked for the tank, we get the tank, and then they bitch and moan about the tank. ST is amazing.


Agreed. It's a couple seasons too late for the AK trade. As for the tank, I don't mind the losing, just frustrating to watch sloppy play. Want to see individual progress/reps.

Neal sucks too


If they both suck, then I'd prefer the one that sucks for $10MM/yr cheaper.
It sucks but at this point, with the size rebuild you're facing, you need to trade Olave and AK.

This one had brown sugar and cane syrup as the sweeteners

Just split the two?


I was just short of 1lb for the actual granulated brown sugar. So I just threw in a tablespoon or two of the cane syrup.

I will say make sure you dissolve your sugar in the eggs and dairy prior to adding the alcohol.

Second batch just went into the fridge. This one had brown sugar and cane syrup as the sweeteners.
I mean we certainly saw a train wreck approaching. Just didn't realize it was carrying radioactive material.

Have 3 quarts in the fridge that have been aging since September. Thinking it may not be enough and may make another 3 this weekend.

Smoke a chuck roast, chop it up and add to your chili along with some jimmy dean hot sausage. Dark chocolate and a good stout beer too.


To add to this - depending on the cook off rules and your equipment setup, an option is to cook your protein over-the-top "OTT" of the chili pot in the smoker so that the drippings all fall into the pot.

Landry comes out of this looking like a portable shitter.


So business as usual eh?
I'm sure some of these may already be in your recipe, but some things that put it over the top are: cocoa powder / some dark or mexican chocolate, dark beer, ground coffee, peanut butter, as well as some acidity at the very end such as pickle brine or balsamic vinegar.
Do not give internet strangers your money.

The main frustration isn't just the loss.

It's that mostly everyone here could see this coming since SOUTHEASTERN. And yet nothing was done.... Same players. Same coaches. Same scheme. Just a 6-week slow motion train wreck.

Was Nuss pulled or did he walk off?
I've never seen a team throw short of the sticks more than us.
