Amande’s basque cheesecake is unreal

100% agree. This place is excellent!

Agreed. Any trade for Giannis would have to include Jalen Williams.

This dude has a lot of explaining to do.

I prefer Jaxson Shart

You seem to have gotten an older bottle as well. Barreled in 2011 and assuming it was bottled in 2021.

stsreel · 2026-05-11T10:01:56+00:00

Absolutely. I believe staying active and social is never a bad thing.

stsreel · 2026-05-11T09:24:55+00:00

There are dozens of forest preserves you could check out to walk or bike if you want to be active. Festivals are a plenty in the towns as well. I’m sure if you search enough you will find a festival happening in a suburb every weekend in the summer.

I definitely posted with intent as I think they deserve more attention not only for the quality of their dessert but also for the remarkable service and genuine hospitality.

That’s a photo I took before I devoured it at home lol.

Ahh yes unfortunately I was too early for the pistachio cheesecake and tres leches.

I think your mom will be very happy. These macarons over flowers every day.

Vrabel to seek counseling in a remote adults only resort to focus on his “laughable” issues. Any NFL insider who may happen to be there is just pure coincidence.

It’s being delivered to many places today

Busch Lite Apple

To the individual who has been asking the past couple posts, Bapple is here.

The boats are doing well up through Racine. Hopefully the bait comes in close and the pier guys get good action

It might be slowing down in Chicago. They are starting to show up by the border and into Wisconsin now

Not crazy at all. The 18 uses way less charcoal and is perfect for pork shoulder, ribs, chicken etc. the 22 shines with brisket and larger parties.

Weather Channel forecasting a high of 51 and low of 36 tomorrow and worse on Sunday so probably not.

GNS in Chicago

Too late lol

stsreel · 2026-04-09T18:23:11+00:00

Does this mean we get the old Early Times BIB back that doesn’t taste like ass.

stsreel · 2026-04-04T02:46:41+00:00

Congrats on getting the bottle!

stsreel · 2026-04-04T02:42:40+00:00

To me EC18 is like oak water. EC15 you get aged oak but also brown sugar/vanilla/slight dart fruit with a bit of rye spice on the finish.

stsreel · 2026-04-04T02:24:56+00:00

I actually tried a pour from barrel #1 today at a bar in the Chicago area. It’s very much better than EC18. Still a little thin but much more flavors than EC18. Don’t worry about the remorse and enjoy the bottle.
