I have to calm down with the drinking tho. Some of my friends aren't as splendid with the spending as I am. Once I'm drinking I hate waiting for my drink, my stupid *** will just order another round, and another, and another (Like on Saturday night)

Was going out for a beer or two and to watch a football game. Left my house with just My paypal card (purposely left my atm and cc at home) walked out with about $160 on the card. Checked the next morning, I had like $3.82 left

Wow @al dente 1985  I think if you opened a restaurant out of your kitchen, I would go. I'm assuming you have a culinary background?

Out of curiosity, what's your favorite Balvenie. I've been getting into scotch lately and I'm a big fan of the Islay whiskeys with their heavy smoke and peat (mainly Laphroaig, Lagavulin), but always looking for new recommendations.

Just found out that I'm going to be going to New Orleans next weekend...Not sure where I'm staying, but does anybody have any suggestions on places to eat?

Willie Mae's Scotch House in the 7th Ward (2401 Saint Ann Street, New Orleans, LA 70119). Best fried chicken & down home cooking in America... I'd also recommend Dooky Chase's (2301 Orleans Ave)...


Y'all watch that movie Chef?

That was a very good movie. Although I don't believe someone like Jon Favreau would have an ex wife in Sofia Vregara & a girl friend in Scarlett Johansson. :lol:

Culinary background??? Not really... I taught myself a lot since I was a kid. However, I did work in a restaurant for 8 months while I was studying hospitality to see if I should go into culinary arts or hospitality management. I hate working for a restaurant because the pay sucks and no matter how good you cook, if you don't have experience you start at the bottom... To make a long story short I was too old (26 years old) to start at the bottom, since I was proposing to my wife and wanted to move out of my moms. So I studied hospitality management and became a wine salesman..... Now I sell craft beer but I love cooking. I'm planning on opening up something soon. We'll see. 

Scotch, I like the 12 year double wood, it's sweeter and smoother, hence the price. Islay scotches are good too, except you smell like smoke the whole night. 

If you're on a budget try Grangestone. It's exclusive to Total Wine and More, not sure if that's in your area, but the 12 year starts at 22.00 and goes up. It's a really good single malt for the price. 

Thanks for the compliment about my food.
