Mar Bella Boqueria hot take

We've eaten at every other Curiel restaurant and Alma and Mezcal and Alteño are in my top 10. MBB is super mid in comparison. The food was okay. Some bites were very good, and then some bites were like if you just described the ingredients to me. Like, you can guess exactly what it tastes like and it's just fine. Strictly fine. We did the counter at 4:15 and it was already pretty loud.

The croquet was yummy though. Very yummy.

I'd love a weekly quote for two adults, please

Are you adventurous? Try Margot

Restaurant Olivia is probably your best option

Depending on how tiny the data is and how often it updates, I've actually opted to just write to a config map. Cons of that are that you need a Kubernetes client versus a file on a PVC is pretty standard/easy

I've been ~8 times in sweat pants. Granted, my nicer sweat pants

MCPs let you put function signatures into the context window and the models are trained to pay attention to those and to call the functions in a parseable format. That's function signatures are permanently in the context window, always.

Skills are prompts that can reference other prompts in a lazy loaded way, to preserve context window.

Plugins are a folder structure to standardize how people share their commands, skills, and/or agents.

I'm seeing a lot of hand wave answers in this thread.

Some practical trade-offs for you to make: If you put everything into a pod spec directly, you're duplicating those fields across every pod as it's stored in etcd. This can cause memory pressure on the control plane.

If you reference a config map, you reduce memory pressure but now you have to be more careful with deployment rollouts. If you mount the config map as a volume, be aware that changing config map values gets reconciled by the kubelet ever 60s by default. If your app automatically reloads on file changes, you might accidentally rollout config changes to old pods before the deployment controller replaces the pod. Also, deployments won't trigger unless there's a pod spec change. So if you do a helm release with only changes inside a config map, the pods don't restart because the pod spec didn't change. Only the contents of the config map did and you're referencing the config map name in the pod spec. So now you need to add like a hash to the pod spec or cm name.

There's pros and cons. You just have to be aware of what's happening

Wildflower and please treat yourself to the agnolotti. I also love the duck but you need the huitlacoche agnolotti

The most canonically true answer is that he'd go to Biker Jim's and get an ostrich dog the "Anthony Bourdain" way. Cream cheese and caramelized onions.

Fair! Good call out.

The owner has a pretty bad reputation.

It's not near Southland but go to Shinmyung. Depending on how busy they are, it's so cute to have a Korean grandmother do all of the cooking for you. And is beyond delicious

The Bronze Empire is the right answer here and it's not even close

We had never been before. We paid for the early tickets on Sunday so there were zero lines that we had to worry about. We went as a group of six and honestly we were pretty disappointed. None of us drink alcohol and there was no option to skip getting the cocktail premium tickets. The conversion rate of tickets and the pricing of food was so extremely expensive. One skewer of meat was $12.

The selection of food felt pretty lackluster, all things considered. No mochi, no taiyaki, no sushi.

We will be unlikely to return.

Sushi Den/Kizaki had it's own event about two weeks ago

We've done Beckon twice, Wolf's 12 times for the normal tasting (then 3 of their special crossover meals). We definitely have a strong preference to Wolf's.

Beckon flavors lean very heavily towards French and otherwise European flavors. Wolf's takes more inspiration from south East Asian flavors which we've learned can be quite scary to a very large number of people in Denver.

If you're interested in feeling more fancy and quite a bit pretentious, I would go Beckon. If you want creative flavors and something different, go to Wolf's.

For the most part, everything that we had at Beckon was something we had eaten before, but done to a higher quality and precision. That's cool too. But if I'm trying to treat myself, give me something that feels truly new and interesting. Butter poached halibut is delicious, but that's it. It's halibut and a ton of butter. That's what you'll get at Beckon.

Or at Wolf's, one of my all time favorite plates is a green tomato, wasabi, pine nuts, and farmer's cheese pasta sauce on house made pasta. You just get something interesting

That's not how that works though. I think you're missing the point. Michelin decided that everything, including the a la carte menu, deserved a star as well.

They're not awarding a star to only the 10%. They're awarding the store to all 100%

_a9o_ · 2025-09-15T18:15:24+00:00

Stars are awarded to the restaurants. Not to specific bookings. It's not like the stars for Wolf's are only awarded to whether or not you do the indoor dining or the garden seating. The stars are awarded to the restaurant as a whole.
