We went from beautiful summery weather to cold, gray, and about to rain - so I made some really meaty chili (no beans) tonight, along with a pan of cornbread muffins (just slightly on the sweet side). Add some melted butter on those muffins, top the chili with some shredded cheese & sour cream, add a glass of ice cold milk, and yeah.... I'm in foodie heaven right now.

That. sounds. fantastic.
Putting beans in chili is against the law.
Its only against the law to call it chili. Nothing wrong with a nice hot bowl of bean soup with meat sauce.
But chilli is just a stew that has a chilli sauce - and you can put anything in a stew. No stew rules!
Disagree on chili as a stew. To me, a stew is a hearty meal-like soup with a lot of veggies & potatoes and (usually) some sort of meat. Chili is ground (maybe shredded) meat, beans, spices, and occasionally onions or peppers. Chili ain't no stew!
All their sandwiches which are sized for like 3 people. Takes a couple of days to knock one out. I Iove the GIVE ME LIVERTY OR GIVE ME SCHMALTZ! and the FIDDLER ON THE ROOF OF YOUR MOUTH
this was the OG visit.. then they had them featured on DDD during covid when they sent ingredients to Guy and he cooked up with Hunter via Zoom with other past DDD spots. looked so good and the owners seemed like stand up peeps..
You guys - trust me on this. Naked Chicken Chalupa. A lil extra avo ranch sauce, lettuce of course (comes with it), no tomatoes, add sour cream and sub the nacho cheese sauce in place of shredded cheese. Oh. dear. Taco. Bell. heaven.

oh yeah, i’m def a fan. was stoked when they brought it back, but sucks it’s a limited time item. i get it how it comes minus tomatoes.
my sister got me this trio for Father's Day. it was a pleasant surprise, and i'm sooooooo excited to start using them. the Toasted Sesame Oil smells incredible. both my sister and I are big David Chang fans so we nerded out for awhile on Sunday talking about him.
Has anyone tried the elote Cheetos yet? I’m seriously intrigued.
one of my good friends texted me about those cause we're both big on the snack game. i've been keeping an eye out for them but have had no luck. recently these have been my fav random snacks...

Safeway!
Those lime/sea salt Lay’s sound reallllly good. I might just be hungry, lol. Good time for me to be wandering Safeway’s aisles.
PS Dying to hear how that Momofuku Tamari sauce tastes. You’ll have to let us know!
oh yeah, those lime/sea salt lays are dangerously delicious. i actually found them at the random Walgreens i got my vax at. first vax i got a small bag incase they sucked. second vax i got a bigger bag cause they didn't suck haha.
and ohhhh both the regular soy, and the tamari soy sauces are REALLY good! and i've only had a little on some steamed rice, broccoli and chicken. total game changers!
hey @cdrive - just saw another spot from Houston pop up on DDD re-visited. looked mighty fine. a Greek spot (looks like they have several locations) called Niko Niko's. you been to or heard of?

Man seriously you need to just come to Houston for a weekend and hang with me!
today I was jonesing for a torta. I wanted to go to Las Tortas Perronas which literally means “Bitchin’ Tortas!” but it was a wee too much of a drive for my lazy ass. And it’s 5 miles away so super lazy. I just went to a neighborhood place. But yes Niko Niko’s is the best. I used to live a block and a half from the original Montrose location. Walk over and pick up a to go order of falafel plate and gyro plate. Ooh and their dolmathes!
edit: one time I forgot my wallet and that guy (Niko Niko’s) just laughed and said don’t worry.
I've had a prolific basil plant this year, so lots of pesto in the freezer. A go-to meal has been pesto pasta with Tuscan kale and white beans. Easy and tasty one pot meal!
We made it to Taku! (didn’t see Shota though) Thankfully we got there before the rush. This line formed while we were waiting for our food. We said “F*ck it” and got the F*ck It Bucket of karaage chicken & furikake fries with various dipping sauces & some of the watermelon salad (watermelon, feta, cucumber, in a vinegar brine & seasoned). Soooooo good! The crispy skin on the chicken is BUSSIN. (Edit: I have no idea why my cam lens is so blurry.)
are they homemade or store bought? either way, they look awesome. how do you have em? in a roll or fork and knife? do you put any kind of mustard on em? New York Style Sausage Company Italian Hot are my easy go to in a soft roll, and Sierra Nevada Mustard Pale. also adding there’s beer involved
A point of contention amongst TX hill country folk: Hruska’s VS Weikel’s. I’m 100% “Team Hruska’s”. Authentic klobasneks. Warms my Bohemian heart. Every time I have a chance to stop by I do. We bought a dozen for my in-laws for watching our dog while we were romping & river toobin’ in the hill country, but my wife forgot to bring them in to them from the car. So, advantage ME! Today is day 2 of having a bunch of these puppies available for snacking & breakfast.
Grilled peaches stuffed with goat cheese & drizzled with balsamic. I couldn’t make the cute little drizzle lines, but let me tell you it doesn’t even matter. This is sooooo good.
