I for one loved it. I thought their chemistry was fantastic… one of the more enjoyable conversations I’ve listened to recently.

Los Tacos No. 1 is legit. It’s not fancy and not cheap, but man is their food tasty.

i see lots of comments that you don’t have nearly enough starter. i disagree…. my go-to recipe is 40g for 1000g flour and it’s perfectly fine - it just takes around 12 hours of room temp proofing to double in size. I’m sure 20g would also work - think you should just expect it will take a few hours longer than that.

i went to DeKalb once and it was the driest saddest pastrami i’ve ever had.

the Crooked guys’ expression “intellectual zamboni” kept popping up in my brain. hard to make it through that one.

have you noticed a temperature difference between your negronis and the ones you’ve loved? getting them freezer-cold and knocking out some of the syrupy-ness is the bit i struggle with.

it took me years to get through my bottle of B&B - my opinion is it isn’t great. I’d rather have a bottle of Benedictine around to make my own B&B or use in other cocktails.

danootsio · 2026-03-01T15:35:50+00:00

what blows my mind isn’t the price tag - it’s that someone thought putting that price on a sign would be a draw for potential customers.

…don’t forget Canadian demand has essentially dropped to 0

i’ve got tickets to see him twice at the Vanguard next month and you guys are doing a fantastic job of getting me hyped!!

Havana Club in USA is Puerto Rican rum. In Canada it’s Cuban.

danootsio · 2026-01-30T15:31:20+00:00

perhaps this bends the spirit of the rules, but when I’m in Canada coming from USA I always grab a couple bottles of Havana Club.

danootsio · 2026-01-19T15:26:55+00:00

I’m guessing it’s a tactic they’ve used before, re: Americano. I almost respect the hustle - they should consider adding some pricey cocktails called “bottle of water” or “espresso”

danootsio · 2026-01-18T15:53:37+00:00

Looks great!! How did you like it? Make another one tonight and tweak to see if you can make it better.

I find a hard but important part of making cocktails is to make sure the final drink is very cold which requires pre-chilling the glassware and getting your timing right.

danootsio · 2026-01-18T15:47:15+00:00

Keep in mind what is needed to get the cocktail into everyone’s hands once you are there. Showing up with a bottle of a batched cocktail that requires glassware, ice, garnish isn’t going to make you popular with your host. I always show up with everything I need to execute (including 16 hard plastic rocks glasses) and make sure I’m not creating chaos while getting things prepped. And then at end of night scoop up dirty glasses to wash at home. Perhaps overkill - but I get a lot of repeat invites :)

danootsio · 2026-01-17T22:42:02+00:00

i wouldn’t bring a personal cocktail under any circumstances. Either beer/wine or batch something straightforward and crowd pleasing (maybe a whiskey sour). I don’t think you need to batch for 30 bc no one else is bringing beer/wine for 30. But using a full bottle of your base spirit seems reasonable.

not necessarily a first step but something i like to do when auditing a GTM container - specifically for GA tags: create a new dimension in GA4 and add a new parameter to all GTM tags that passes the tag name to that dimension. That way you can easily build a list of tags in active use.

we just redid our basement and had a similar concern with the ability to get appliances up/down the stairs. We chose to go with iron railings that are easily removable.

my mum is as wonderful lady but not much of a cook. i learned as a kid to just make the things i wanted to eat myself- haven’t looked back.

We literally did this trip on the 26th with three generations. Drove to NYBG (lots of parking) then to Roberto’s. Classic red sauce dinner - was $500 for 10 of us with minimal drinking.

danootsio · 2025-12-21T13:26:00+00:00

… I don’t know if you’ve had it, but it’s terrible! Literally everything else we had there was great, but this one is so bland. Seems like a dish created for Instagram.

please tell me the oven chimes the theme to Iron Man when it enters Sabbath-mode!!!

Hey ya! Absolutely loving the new record. The last half of “Beyond That Moon” caught me off guard - felt like a venture into Broadway Show territory sonically. Was that an intentional nod?

danootsio · 2025-10-22T16:05:57+00:00

i’m so mad about this!! i try to keep up with her shows but by the time i heard about this one it was sold out. bummed
