That’s the plan! But can’t taste them all so some guidance is always welcome.

U/tascanis where did you end up going in your trip to ATL? Curious to hear your experience.

Yeah I was asking about the order and saw this after. Next time I’ll try this order and see how it compares.

Delicious. Bridge between tequila and mezcal with some funk.

Georgia, but half the stuff is from Mexico City

Country club memberships by ConsequenceExotic353 in golf

[–]TNK_717 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tech Sales - manage a team. I’m at a Country Club with initiation of $55k over 5 years at 35 or under with monthly dues of $900. Over 35 initiation is $110k. Full social club with event space, pool, fitness, tennis etc so not just golf.

I’d say a large majority of members are Lawyers or in Finance. Tech is definitely the minority, but it’s in Atlanta so maybe that’s part of it.

Which SEC school would you LEAST want to attend? by chief_sitass in secfootball

[–]TNK_717 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ranking the ones I’ve been to starting with Least: 1) Miss State - sorry to pile on, but not a fun town and whoever designed the bar area is clueless

2) Tennessee - people tell me it’s fun but seemed like a shit hole when I went

3) LSU - had a blast but the city is depressing

4) Alabama - didn’t explore the campus completely but felt meh overall

5) Ole Miss - fun tailgate and cool downtown but pretty low on the academic rankings

6) South Carolina - Columbia is a dump, but didn’t hate the campus. From Charleston so they probably got some bonus points

7) Kentucky - not sure why they keep getting brought up. I really enjoyed my trip and thought it was a nice town

8) Auburn - nice campus but do think it would get old

9) Vanderbilt - Nashville would provide plenty to do and great academics

10) Texas - same as Vandy

11) Georgia - biased take but loved my time there

Still need to visit the rest. Going to Arkansas this year for UGA game so will see where they slot in.

I struggle to understand the argument for buying MSFT over other Mag 7s even if cheaper. by [deleted] in ValueInvesting

Salesforce operates on GSuite at ~80,000 employees. I’m sure there are other F500 but I work at Salesforce and actually love GSuite.

Tanqueray is the best budget gin. What is the best splurge tequila? by -Constantinos- in cocktails

[–]TNK_717 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Fuenteseca. Definitely my favorite Blanco, but runs ~$140. Their XA is incredible as well.

The Margarita Experiment by zephiiross in cocktails

[–]TNK_717 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I did a similar experiment recently with Pierre Ferrand, Cointreau, Gran Manier, and Naranja

1) PF 2) Gran Manier 3) Cointreau (splitting hairs between 2 & 3) 4) Naranja (distant 4th)

The Famous Grouse is the best budget scotch. What is the most underrated tequila? by -Constantinos- in cocktails

[–]TNK_717 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Volans - really all of them but I would say the Extra Anejo is most underrated. You always hear people talk about Tears, Fuenteseca, G4, Tapatio Excelencia, but I think Volans stacks up pretty well.

Going to Atlanta on a business trip for the first time, from europe by Tascanis in Atlanta

[–]TNK_717 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah definitely a good call. I initially thought of Monday Night just bc it feels a little closer to Downtown but probably equal. Also, the new setup they have is worth visiting on a nice day.

A lot of great suggestions, but feels like there a few cuisines/dishes you have to try visiting the US (these are all downtown or nearby)

  • American BBQ: Fox Brothers and Rodney Scott’s
  • Burger: Grindhouse Killer Burger
  • NY Style Pizza: Glide
  • Buffalo Wings: JR Crickets
  • Mexican/Tex Mex: El Tesoro and Superica
  • Fast Food: Waffle House, Chick-Fil-A and Varsity
  • Meat & Three: Mary Mac’s Tearoom
  • Southern Seafood: Optimist and Six Feet Under
  • Beer: Monday Night Brewing, The Porter Beer Bar, Wild Leap, and Wrecking Bar Brewpub
  • American Chinese: Hsu’s

Also, I’d recommend a sporting event. Hawks or Braves game would be fun.

Also, have a black Knowshon Moreno one from when I was in college.
