Those do look tasty -- it's warm as hell here, too. Apparently Al Gore was right.

Maybe your quality point is true now, but when Le Bec Fin was all that I went a number of times and enjoyed it quite a bit, in addition to the different restaurants that some of the chefs from there opened in my parents' neck of the woods.

I'm not disputing the quality of the place, more the fact that I find the presentation of that particular dish to be a little too self-masturbatory for me. Hugs?

It's unusually cold here though, so it's all balanced out. Al Gore was only right about the tubes and manbearpig.

No, it just so happened the grill underneath that holds the coals is perpendicular.

^Proof that strength makes you untrollable.

I have to cross a giant bridge to get to Indiana. I'm trying to develop gephyrophobia.

Unfortunately due to 1) the Horseshoe Hammond and 2) Three Floyd's Beer, I will undoubtedly be back to your state soon.

I can relate, having to drive there really makes my dystychiphobia act up.

Midwest bros unite imo.

I thought that is maybe where you worked. I don't really go there too frequently. I don't think I've been since July, but I will definitely say hi if I am back there anytime soon.

Used to rive up from Nashville to play at that Horseshoe. Ran insanely hot at the "splash pot" promotion they ran on Wednesdays.

I think you're thinking of Southern indiana. We're up near the northwest part of the state.

Now 2 hours to 12 hours from the Horseshoe, all depending on Chicago Edens + Dan Ryan traffic.
