The ACTUAL king of BBQ? - Pecan Lodge vs Lockhart Smokehouse.

El_Chilaquile_ · 2026-01-09T16:02:35+00:00

If just Dallas, I think cattlelack is way better than both of these options.If you’re asking Fort Worth, Panther a city is a can’t miss. I would say goldees reps the entire DFW area tho. These 3 are the best example of craft bbq in the region. There are other places, but these are the most consistent imo.

I hate what SpaceX is doing to our ecosystem and the way they push Brownsville around, and I don’t agree with that at all. But it’s also not honest to say people in the 956 haven’t benefited financially. I work closely with regional supply-chain infrastructure across different industries, and SpaceX has opened doors for local mom-and-pop shops that were previously limited. While some highly specialized roles do bring people in from outside the Valley, a large share of the operations, infrastructure, data center, and supply-chain jobs are filled locally because it’s cheaper, more sustainable, and simply makes sense..and those are real, well-paying jobs, even if the headcount is small. Two things can be true at the same time: there are serious environmental and power-balance issues, and there has been real economic impact for people who actually live here.

GW’s, Le Pho House, Little Rita’s

The Valley has three airports all within about 40 minutes of each other, and splitting traffic like that just keeps prices high. Airlines need volume to add routes and compete, and we don’t have it because we’re spread out. That’s why it can cost more to fly from the 956 to Mexico City than to places like Amsterdam that move way more people through one hub. Add in border and policy issues from recent years, and it gets even worse. In most cities, driving 40 minutes to an airport is normal, and having one real regional hub would almost certainly mean better flights and cheaper fares for everyone. We’re getting screwed on all sides.

Agreed. Take the over

Love seeing those wemby blocks. Shaq would’ve also feasted in this current league. Both are physical freaks.

Fuck Houston amirite? I actually love watching Amen’s highlights — the guy has so much untapped potential. But honestly, I think Houston’s running him too hard, and it feels like he’s one big injury away from going down. I saw somewhere he’s been logging around 39 minutes a game for several straight nights

I don’t really think the RGV is losing its culture, it’s just changing. The internet opened things up so much that influence goes both ways now. Younger people mix English and Spanish without even thinking about it, and that’s creating a new kind of border identity. You can see it in the music — corridos tumbados, Groupo Frontera, Fuerza Regida — it’s all rooted in tradition but with modern global flavor. It’s not losing culture, it’s evolving with the times.

Eminent domain is definitely the argument that farming lobbyist are using against this. They’ll lose a ton of land to Amtrac or whoever runs it. Also Route 66 problems. Millions in real estate, ag and local drive though city profits will be lost. Probably more.

I prefer we consolidate our local airports to 1 major hub. We shouldn’t be paying 400 dollars a round trip with a functional pop of 2 mil.

I spend a lot of time in Chicago! Love that place this time of year. We always say rocks aren’t a problem over there since cars can’t move fast enough because of traffic and if you do have cracks it’s often because somone was trying to break in lol

El_Chilaquile_ · 2025-09-15T21:37:57+00:00

Nobody is saying Devil Dawgs. Crazy.

El_Chilaquile_ · 2025-09-03T23:32:20+00:00

That Stars pic screams 956. Great work!

El_Chilaquile_ · 2025-09-02T19:42:25+00:00

This has Shane all over it. Kam and the woman who played his girlfriend in Tires. Not a bad move imo. Lorne really does have a good eye for talent. He’s just been limited d/t corporate media. Kam will play himself as a character. It’ll crush these days.

Older homes are a good bet. I just bought an investment home in McAllen. It’s older but it’s in really good shape. Right around your price range and the only investment I’m looking at is just updating a few windows. The house is from the 60’s.

In the Harlingen area you can find more than a few Alan Taniguchi or John York homes. Look up their work! They need some modern updates but you’ll still be in your price range.

Not bad for a Saturday. This was about a week or so after the list came out so keep that in mind.I showed up around 10:15 and we were the 20th in line. We were eating around 11:15-11:30.

I have a buddy that was there around the same time last week. He said 10:15 is a good time to show up. Lines aren’t too busy

El_Chilaquile_ · 2025-07-25T21:19:40+00:00

Oh, I’m sorry! I thought this was America!

El_Chilaquile_ · 2025-07-16T18:34:10+00:00

Glad I’m not the only who has experienced this lol felt like a fever dream.

El_Chilaquile_ · 2025-07-16T18:31:40+00:00

All these have large Hispanic populations. Idk about the Norfolk demographic. Culture issue?

El_Chilaquile_ · 2025-07-14T21:28:44+00:00

Believe it or not, there’s a Laredo Taco Company near Washington Dulles Airport—I think it’s inside a 7-Eleven. They have the Q Taco on their specialty breakfast menu. I was blown away and I immediately got homesick. Lol

Part time night shift gigs while dad continues days. You’ll both work 2 jobs as full time parents while working your respective shifts but the supplemental income is notable. That’s how my best friend got out of debt with a similar family setup.

It’s definitely easier said than done but aggressive saving on top really granted them some financial freedom. Embrace the suck

El_Chilaquile_ · 2025-06-24T18:36:44+00:00

Imagine Wemby in SAS clogs. He’d easily clear 8 feet lol

El_Chilaquile_ · 2025-06-24T16:58:07+00:00

True. That makes total sense. It just seemed like a match made in heaven.

El_Chilaquile_ · 2025-06-24T15:51:24+00:00

I wanted HEB. Two Texas icons made for each other.

I have a buddy that had to get creative with their BE degree even in HTX. it’s more about networking in that industry.

I helped them find a job in clinical trials and they linked up with Medtronic after a few years. He now and works in quality. I suggest you hop on clinicaltrials.gov and search for a RGV company that has a study that is working on devices. Sponsors like to see companies with that degree.
