quick, someone come up with a cool place with a kitchen that's still open in an hour or so in the city.

(The girl wasn't working that day.)

Live down the street...only eaten there once...don't remember how the food was. Putting me on tilt is your goal in life.

Now that I mentioned Bourdain you'll probably go and rave about how you've loved it all along hipster. Let me know when you'll be there so I can meet you and slap the black rimmed glasses off your face and spit on your skinny jeans.

I weigh 215 pounds, you couldn't squeeze me into a pair of skinny jeans if your life depended on it.

And it was four years ago. I mean, I know the food was good, I just don't remember any particulars beyond that in comparison to Gates, Jack Stack, etc. I'll be home in a couple of weeks to work a couple of shifts, though, so I'll make a point of hitting it up. I'm down at that intersection all the time to dick around at Best Buy or whatever.

Also, I've never been to Arthur Bryant's which seems to be the favorite of most.

Sasha's on Shaw has pretty good food until 1.

215 is all? I thought you went 245.

Apparently Bourdain's favorite movie is Apocalypse Now. I love this guy more and more, I should start watching his show apparently.

Arthur Bryant's and Gates are pretty much the same to me. You get a ton of food but it's just mediocre and you spend the same money you would at a better place. I've heard good things about Jack Stack but never been. That Oklahoma Joe's by you is way better than the one in Mission that's in a gas station. Well, the food is the same but the line goes way faster. I've stood in line for almost an hour before at the Mission one.

LC's is also really good but it's a long way from you out south of Kaufmann stadium.

I've been to the one in Mission, and the food was great; I wish I'd picked up some of the sauce when I was there. Go there at 4:30 on a Monday and you don't have to wait (not that anybody under 60 is likely to be looking for supper that early with any regularity).

I've only been to Jack Stack once, the ribs were great. That's all I can vouch for. They damn well better have been at those prices though.

I want to go just for these:

I've tried several different odd times and the best I've ever done was a fifteen minute wait walking in mid-week 10 minutes before they say they close. I'm not a big BBQ sauce guy at all (I like to judge the quality of the BBQ without it) but theirs is pretty good.
