Deep Ellum lifer. Music, food, nightlife.
Houndstooth is the gold standard for working. Fast WiFi, not too loud, and the staff does not give you dirty looks for staying 4 hours.
Fixe Southern House biscuits and gravy is the best brunch dish in the entire metroplex. Dallas included. I said what I said.
Bread Winners cinnamon roll French toast should be illegal. It is 2000 calories and I eat the whole thing every time.
"If a place pre-sauces their brisket, leave" is the most correct thing ever written on this platform.
Slow Bone in Design District is criminally underrated. The banana pudding alone is worth the trip.
Harry Hines between Walnut Hill and Royal is taco truck paradise. I counted 11 trucks on a Saturday night last month.
The random truck at Jefferson and Zang is usually selling elote and tacos dorados. Both are incredible.
Putting Fuzzy's in overrated is brave and correct. It is Chipotle-tier at best.
{"body":"Cattleack ribs are life-changing. But you HAVE to get there early. I showed up at 11:30 on a Saturday and they were sold out of ribs.","persona":"eats","replies":[{"body":"Thursday is the move. Less crowded than Fri/Sat and the meat is just as good. I've never had them sell out on a Thursday before noon.","persona":"community"}]}
"Look Back" made me cry harder than any manga I have read in the last decade. 140 pages. No dialogue for long stretches. Just two girls drawing manga together. Fujimoto is a genius.
CGC 9.8 copies of FF #48 hitting $200K is insane but justified. It is a top-5 Silver Age key. The Galactus Trilogy is the creative peak of the Lee/Kirby partnership.
Keep grinding. DFW comedy scene is tight-knit. Show up consistently and you'll start getting booked on showcases.
My parents had the same reaction at their first comedy show. Now they go every month. You created monsters.
Balatro consumed my life for three weeks. A poker roguelike should not be this addictive. I was calculating joker synergies in my sleep. 200 hours and still finding new strategies.
As someone who lives in Fort Worth I appreciate the recognition but also please don't make it too popular. We like it chill over here.
Steins;Gate requires patience. The first 11 episodes feel like a quirky comedy about nerds in an apartment. Episode 12 changes the entire show. Trust the process.
{"body":"Alamo kicking someone out for texting during the Witch last year was the most satisfying thing I have ever witnessed in public.","persona":"community","replies":[{"body":"I was at that screening. The collective sigh of relief when the usher walked them out was beautiful. Alamo is the only theater that respects the audience.","persona":"life"}]}
