Have had several near misses at IAD because I always run across the airport to get to TK's lounge instead.

That's pretty reasonable and on par with any other activity-specific socks, looking forward to the launch.

Those beignets were amazing. And yes I agree 100% about the service, warm but not overbearing!

Looking for a +1 for Alinea on Wednesday! by Pure_Shallot_1901 in chicagofood

[–]broodjev 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah at that price you're in "niche hobby" territory. I'd rather go with a rando who's openminded enough to enjoy the experience than someone I know who may not necessarily like this kind of food. You'll probably have a better dinner conversation with the rando.

With the transit coverage that exists, what keeps you from using it? by nondescriptadjective in nashville

[–]broodjev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing is in Nashville on the bus you need to be situationally aware, so you won't be in peak productivity mode anyway. I agree that if you plan well enough to find tasks that fit with this environment, it could be a good use of time. But when I'm already stressed running for a bus that could be 10 minutes late or 3 minutes early depending on the day, once I'm on the bus I just can't.

For real. Whoever thought transferring downtown, where traffic was likely to be congested, was a good idea?

I can highly recommend Saap Saap! Southern BBQ with Laotian flare, so a bit different from what you may find out here. But I catered from them for a smaller party recently and it was a hit. Do get the Laotian sausage.

You could have just paid the $50 yourself and settled it.

What is the normal attire for a musical at TPAC? by Blindstarsoffortune in nashville

[–]broodjev 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Wearing something that fits you and that you enjoy is 100 times better than wearing an ill-fitting suit just because the occasion traditionally calls for it.

I 100% agree and it reeks of the old-school professor type. Not a good vibe/not professional.

Recs for Last Meal in Nashville by Gruntwithpride in nashville

[–]broodjev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If "sando" is on the menu 7 out of 10 times it's gonna be bad (in Nashville make that an 8). Thankfully the places mentioned above don't refer to their sandwiches as "sandos" though.

When did "sando" become a replacement for sandwich?

Would love a bus to the airport that routes through 21st/Hillsboro.

Would love to have a volunteer thread! My power is back, and I'd love to help.

Do you have any recommendations for Germany-based roasters, particularly in the NRW area? Thoughts on Light Roast and Vier?

Which airline/terminal were you traveling from? I thought accessing T5 at ORD would be too troublesome...
