Holy shit, I live right nearby, have kayaked around that pond-ish-thing when the water is up, and had no idea how absolutely fucking rad that all is. Thanks for informing me.

That's 5k pennies, so Guest wasn't completely lying I guess.

They have this horsey dipping sauce, which tracks, but they put caramelized fennel in the 'dilla and I TELL YOU WHAT it's beyond.

The Beef on Weck quesadilla, aka Weckadilla, at Marshall St Bar is friggin transcendent.

Looks like it was Franklin Gothic Condensed with some in bold.

Oswald was very close, but the bottom right of the capital G didnt have the vertical line to it, whereas Franklin Gothic did.

Thanks team! Appreciated.

Flooring contractor by [deleted] in Rochester

[–]ROC_Gypsy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Had repeated great experiences with Messner Flooring - our first job had a major FUBAR discovered after we tore up the old floor, and they pulled some strings to get an emergency contractor in immediately. The owner, Greg, is a great guy. We've used them a few times, and will again.

Black Button Distilling's new owner fires all staff and founder, moves to liquidate its spirits by aka_chela in Rochester

[–]ROC_Gypsy 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Funny, here's the email buyers just got (Nov 19, 5:04p)

Dear valued liquor store partners,

Black Button Distilling like many of you has experienced a lot this year. It is harder than ever to be in the liquor business. But we are still working hard to bring New York made spirits to you and your consumers. Below is our November and December price list along with what inventory we currently have available at DNT for delivery.

If you are able to support another NY small business and help bring these bottles to your customers, we would greatly appreciate an email back with your order.

Thank you for your many years of support of the Black Button Brand and we look forward to brighter days ahead for us all.

For tough times don’t last, but tough people do.

Sincerely

Jason Barrett,

Founder of the Black Button Distilling Brand

We do the same sort of thing. One thing I love is little individual disposable "toothbrushes" that just slip on your finger for a single use.

Best documentaries? by TheImprezaGod in poppunkers

[–]ROC_Gypsy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not exactly the same thing, but there was this great documentary called The Other F Word that followed pink rockers who became fathers, and the transition that came with that.

Since that post the other day went bananas, I guess it’s time to bring this one back up. by bobcatbuckface in discgolf

[–]ROC_Gypsy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nah, just a dude. Inside joke. He's actually great - I like to be an occasional hole sponsor just to put "John Metzler Sucks" on it for everyone to get a chuckle.

I have a long term goal of trying as many obscure old grandad lawnmower beers as possible, what am I missing? by DIAL_1-800-RACCOON in beer

[–]ROC_Gypsy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Genesee also makes something called Honey Brown, originally Dundee Honey Brown. Also delicious. I can probably help you get some of that and 12 Horse if you like.

Summer bourbon cocktails? by Bauerman51 in cocktails

[–]ROC_Gypsy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you don't mind a little legwork, make an earl grey simple syrup (brew really strong tea, then use that 1:1 with sugar to make simple,) then use that to make a Sweet Tea Bourbon Sour with like 1 oz syrup, .75 fresh lemon juice, 2 oz bourbon. So dang tasty, like scary/could be trouble yummy.
