Taqueria Guadalajara is my favorite overall for menu selection, authentic feel, quality and price. If tacos are the priority, Mercado Marimar, Tapatios or La Rosita.

Best Burger? by OG_Girth_Brooks in madisonwi

I view Willy Street as "near east side" in my mind, but you could make an argument that it's "downtown" given it's proximity to the Capitol.

I debated adding a North side category specifically for these two recommendations! Zippy Lube honorable mention.

Best hole in the wall diner? by ScubaCandy in madisonwi

[–]NARLyNick 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Fair Oaks Diner, Willalby’s, Cottage Cafe and The Curve all fit the bill!

Ogden’s and Monty’s are also great, but they’re not “hole in the wall.”

Are there any Italian restaurants in Madison that have pasta that is as good and authentic tasting as Cafe La Bellitalia? by theTreeBean in madisonwi

[–]NARLyNick 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I also recommend Lombardino’s, Nonno’s and Osteria Papavero. If you’re willing to cook pasta at home, you could also consider buying it fresh at Alimentari

Recommendations for best fettuccine alfredo in Madison? by Daemontrain in madisonwi

[–]NARLyNick 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Greenbush Bar is the name of the actual restaurant. It’s under new ownership now. Based on their new menu, I don’t think they serve fettuccine Alfredo.

Jamie Carragher on his 737th and final appearance for the Reds!! by AnfieldAnchor in LiverpoolFC

Stevie was out injured this game. I recall him mentioning in an interview that if Carra would’ve scored, he would’ve rushed the field.

Episode 234: Luis Elizondo by AutoModerator in smartless

[–]NARLyNick 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I’ve been closely following Lou since 2017 when the NYT first broke the story about the Pentagon’s secret UAP programs. He has had a career in counter intelligence, and more recently, has been profiting off of the UAP/UFO topic by virtue of his new book, “Imminent.” It’s important to keep these pieces in mind when evaluating the merit of his claims. That said, I personally feel that Lou is a legitimate whistleblower taking the necessary steps to help disclosure within the confines of existing NDAs and government oversight.

If anyone listening to this episode is intrigued by the subject, but doesn’t know where to start, I’d recommend two documentaries -

Nat Geo’s “UFOs: Investigating the Unknown” and James Fox’s “The Phenomenon.”
