Sampatrick posted:Central Texas barbecue is overrated and only gets as much attention as it does because it is the style that most white pitmasters in Texas follow. Beef links are just as traditional a part of Texas barbecue joints but you never hear the state media talking about them. Probably true I guess. Eventually I found Gattlins BBQ in Houston which appears to be African American owned/run and at the time was a shack in a "bad" part of town (which has since been gentrified to gently caress and back, not even recognizable anymore). It was very good but i guess being in the situation it was in it wasn't as well known. Lots of good options now, but honestly the reason to come to Houston would be for Viet-Cajun food not BBQ. Also any BBQ place that tries to pass itself off as a good BBQ place because of its sides needs to be shunned.

Rudy's is alright, but it's a chain, and I'm not sure chains (Bar-B-Cutie??) are good suggestions beyond, "Hey what's close to where you live?"

It's ramping up. If geography isn't overcome by people clustering at the Walmart's then it should be better here than, say, NYC, but who knows. Even the local Walmart has instituted limiting the number of customers at a time starting tomorrow. That follows HEB, Academy and probably others. It's very much not locked down, but there's now a sense in Guff Coast Texas that this poo poo is headed here fast. People not perturbed? Disc golf enthusiasts, let me tell you.

Numlock posted:Probably true I guess. Gatlin’s is my go to place because it’s really drat good without having grabbed the amount of attention as other places so you can actually get some food without a four hour wait. A few years back they built a new place in a strip malls couple miles from their original spot with lots of seating but before that it was a run down house with a couple picnic tables on the porch.

I'm currently Texan-in-exile up here outside DC, and when co-workers have to travel to Austin for business and want recommendations for "great barbecue" I usually recommend Coopers. It's not the elite-tier Frankin or La Barbecue stuff but I know the location is easy to get to downtown and the line won't be absurd. And while it's merely really well-made chain BBQ so far everyone who has gone has been tremendously impressed.

Cooper's and Black's are both very legit good. And, obviously, corrosively racist, as per this thread. Side Note: Do you ever go to Hard Times for the Terlingua Red up there? when I lived in Northern Virginia and worked in DC, it was my favorite stupid place to stop and eat. With their diced jalapenos sprinkled on it's pretty good.

ReindeerF posted:For some reason the mention of biryani, which is not Ethiopian, triggered something in my brain to say, "Don't miss the Ethiopian in Adams Morgan." Extremely legit, assuming they haven't been gentrified out. The people who run the Taste of Ethiopia place in pflugerville are related to the owners of Dukem on U St. I want to say sister but I can't recall exactly.

I'm at 3 weeks and two days, but I'm on a few acres right outside of Denton so it's not the worst. I really feel for the folks in aparments right now. My brother and his wife in a tiny rental house with two small kids, a dog and two cats. I've been touching base with all the elderly families in my neighborhood and planting a big garden. I'm the luckiest immunosuppressed guy in the world right now.

I'm sort of in the same boat, house on a corner lot, big front yard big back yard, I have yard work needs doing, I can workout in the backyard. Bbq and grill at leisure if I don't want to cook on the stove, and I check up regularly on my older neighbors via phone, only because the liquor store I work at is essential. But it is nice to just chill in the backyard and keep busy when I get tired of watching movies, shows, or the news. ReindeerF loving lol

I've heard the same from within the medical community, though it's not down to hiding anything. There's just a huge gap between testing coverage in the nation's 4th most populous (soon to be third, maybe, if this doesn't make a dent) city which also holds the distinction of being the nation's only major city that ranks in the top 10 in geographic size. Still, given that it has the busiest medical center in the world, or at least that's the claim, it's a total failure that Houston cannot keep up in testing. My guess is that the TMC groups, who are always in political battles against one another, have failed to work together to address the epidemiological concern, which would fit with their increasingly profit-driven mandates (as not for profit entities by mandate/charter) over the last several decades. Even Turner a week or two back said something like, look, I can't get accurate data, so if I'm told we have 250 cases, I assume we have 2,500. That's where it is, sadly.

My brother is renovating his house in central Austin, walking distance from me, to move to Leander in the summer. And he moved his wife and three young kids into a two bedroom apartment nearby so the oldest one could still go to school nearby until the school year ended. So now AISD is shut down and they're stuck in a two-bedroom apartment. I can't imagine how they're handling it. I'm in two a bedroom apartment, a little less than 900 sq ft, but just with my fiancee and two cats. I both am extremely jealous of people with yards right now (only have a handful of potted plants) and feel blessed compared to my friends and colleagues who live in smaller one bedroom apartments with partners and pets. Especially our friends in Seattle and NYC, in even tinier spaces. My fiancee set up a desk in the living room and I hold court in the middle bedroom. We're living decadently here. We ended up finally assembling a tall storage shelf for our tiny outdoor closet, and then I have been on a mission for months to get extremely organized. So our fridge kind of limits how much fresh food we can buy, meaning we can't hole up forever, but we've managed our space well otherwise.

I got spoiled with south louisiana's soil and water. It was stupid easy to grow pretty much anything. You could do it by accident. Oyster Mushrooms are the only thing I have been able to grow in texas, ironically, because you barely need the sun.
