Recently in My Face: Lusher’s Red Hots

At last, a hot dog place within walking distance of work.  And not only is it close, but it’s also very good.  Downtown just keeps getting better.

Those onion rings were ethereal albeit a bit greasy.  The Meat Fight pictured in the back was very good.

Obligatory Snow Day Pictures

After crawling out of our bunker this morning, Zoë and I walked around the neighborhood to assess the damage and poop on some snow.  I had gone earlier, so only Zoë made with the poopings.

Fun with Youtubes: The Great War

Seriously.  This is what the internet is for.  Indy Neidel guides you through what happened each week 100 years ago this week during World War I.  I only wish I wasn’t 8 months behind.

Recently in My Face: Knife

Bone in rib eye for two, mashed potatoes, creamed spinach, hollandaise and bordelaise sauces with Barolo.

Deconstructed banana pudding (bottom)** Caramel pretzel (top) with Sauternes.

Post dessert of cookies.

Don’t get me wrong, this was a very good meal.  But compared to the meal we had last year at  John Tesar’s other, now closed restaurant, Spoon, this was fairly meh.  There are literally a trillion other fine steakhouses in Dallas and, unless I am willing to buy an once or two of their 240 day dry aged beef*, there was little here to compel a return visit.

 

*I was not.
