Food trucks > white tablecloths

Go to Queens NY and explore/meander in and out of ethnic holes in the wall. May as well be a truck. Ask the guy working the grill what they’re ‘known for’. Profit. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good fancy restaurant. But it better blow me away if I’m dropping serious coin. Middling food over $30 plate can GTFO.

Found a full packer brisket (rarity) at my local grocery store for $6/lb. Ready.

Jell-O shots are fine mainly because they have a similar effect on our lady friends as roofies iirc. Can’t hate em.

Off to Shyong. 🙏🏻

Owning a bar/restaurant is one of those things that sounds so amazing to anyone who's never actually worked in a bar/restaurant. The poster formerly known as fylm has talked about this pretty extensively in GYERO over the years. Long hours, high stress, low pay, high risk...


...as for food trucks, BBdK makes an outstanding point. I've seen quite a few places around here get their start as a truck, then eventually save up and move to brick & mortar.

On that note: I've got a new client who I've got a total business crush on. Worked for years in the food business and made a ton of great/important friends. Started her restaurant as a 1x/week popup at an existing place. Built up a very loyal clientele with huge social media engagement, to the point they sold out every single day. Moving to brick and mortar this month, and did the majority of the build-out herself with tons of crowdsourcing/help from friends to cut the cost significantly. I could be wrong, but I think there's a huge chance of her success, as she seems to have cut out all the typical risks as much as possible. She also has a great staff she's mostly handpicked from her years in the business, and they all love her. They'll be absolutely booming on day 1, and I can't wait to see it. Good people, good product, good operations -- small businesses like that deserve to crush it.

Jell-o shots served a specific purpose back in the old tailgate days. I see no reason to sling hate.
-If you make them at home 100% for them at tailgates. But bars are trying to make scratch and they don’t put hardly any liquor in them. Those Jell-O shots probably paid for all the booze they bought for the weekend at the CWS.

-Wayne every kitchen has dudes dripping sweat off their brow or nose into your food. It’s fine, it’s 110+ degrees in some of those kitchens.

And yeah food trucks usually have good or better than average food because that’s those people’s livelihood. Your typical line cook couldn’t give much of an eff, as he can go to any restaurant and get a job tomorrow.

I do appreciate you despising the waste they create though and you’re correct.

It reminds of THEM coming in to the bar/restaurant and ordering food to go and then attempting to eat it at the bar. They felt they didn’t have to tip if they got it to go and obviously didn’t care about styrofoam waste.

I personally changed the policy (didn’t tell mgmt just got the other keeps on board) and told people if you get it to go then you have to go, there’s not sitting and eating it. This of course pissed some people off but I would say you go it “to go, right? Then when you get it, you gotta go…”

Also, that takes up valuable bar space. Sorry toots, see that bench in the the burning 24 degree latitude of the summer sun? Yeah go over there and eat your conch fritters with ketchup.

-KSR without Matt and the crew just doesn’t bring it for me. Turned it off when those two today were like LETS TALK ABOUT THE BEST CAL STARTING 5 AT UK!

Oh cool the super played out we’ve already done this ten times on this show gimmick. Yeah I’m out.

Will probably listen to the Pardon My Take guys but that’s it. As someone mentioned, Matt has it figured out. Takes off 3 weeks in the slowest, most boring sports radio time of the year.

And yes PTI you are correct. Just watch the Bar Rescues where these dudes buy a bar, with no idea how to run one. No POS, table numbers, half of them the keep/server is the cook too, no homogenous cocktails or cocktail menu, etc. it’s a train wreck.

These dudes basically throw away a few hundred grand to have a bar that resembles their man cave (who cares what the actual clientele wants) and they’re hammered 80% of the time and 100% by the time they close.

The new food truck at Sweetens Cove sucked, which sucked.

They have food trucks at my daughter's day care once a month and they always hit.

Couple that to go order with the drive through liquor store on the way home, and buddy that's living.

-Man, if that’s “living”, a food truck meal and a sixer, I’m definitely never having kids lol.

-What do we know about Chuck Martin, Oregon assistant? Sounds like he’s our last coaching spot.

PMT isn’t doing KSR this round because of their move to Chicago, they’re hosting in August.

Brandon Walker, and I assume Kayce Smith, are July 11. He should anger the regular listeners just as much though.

I plugged it into ChatGPT and asked for a summary. Here's what they came back with:

Based on the passage, the top players mentioned for the Kentucky basketball team are:

Calipari's Picks:

  • John Wall
  • Jamal Murray
  • Michael Kidd-Gilchrist
  • Willie Cauley-Stein
  • Anthony Davis
BBN Squad Picks:

  • Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
  • Andrew Harrison (April 2015 version)
  • Malik Monk
  • Terrence Jones (sophomore version)
  • DeMarcus Cousins
Reserves:

  • Tyler Ulis
  • Eric Bledsoe
  • Andrew Harrison (presumably the other version)
Injured Reserve:

  • Oscar (likely referring to Oscar Tshiebwe)
Additionally, Darius Miller is mentioned as an available player for the BBN squad, likely as a Kentucky native.

First day back from NYC-- "So we're closed on July 4th and also letting you have another day off, so you'll be off Monday the 3rd, too."

110 degrees in Vegas this weekend. K.

Here in Mount Washington we have a food truck jungle and it’s fantastic. It’s every bit as good as restaurants that fit their menu.

The added benefit for me is I know who I’m supporting and I know why, and they have grown to be good for the community in the things they do or charity they give.

I honestly do not know how you can dislike that.

WORST STARTING 5 OF THE CAL ERA!

Harrow
Sharpe
Boston
Skal
EJ

I don’t see how Boston, Skal and EJ make the list. They didn’t meet expectations, but they played and they kept positive and were not a team issue.

Harrow
Sharpe
Dragon(don’t even remember his name)
Vanderbilt
Orton

Harrow was better than Askew. Can you believe Askew was a 5-star recruit at one point? He did avg 15 a game for Cal this year, but Cal lost every single game he played in too.

You’ve been to Askew’s neighborhood, but he’s certainly never been to yours!


Nuff said! BOOM!!! 💥 🤡

Shorts:

- Does anyone know if Chet Hanks has declared this year White Boy Summer again? Because if not, I really need to tone it down.

* Feel free to add to your act @KingLlama - no footnote necessary.

- One thing I’ll agree with Wayne on - I need a proper seat/table situation. Don’t want to eat standing up sans table or on the curb.

- The Bear is outstanding. One of my favorite shows of the past few years. Have always loved Lip, the dude who plays Cousin and Oliver Platt is lowkey terrific.

- Swiftymania taking hold of the Queen City. Pretty cool. Can’t recall anything like this.

- Hitting up the new Cuban restaurant on the Levee Friday. Place has become a decent hang for an old dad. New brewery just opened. Really like Beeline.

- Standard Goldfish are fine. No need for the extra cheddar or God forbid, the cheddar blast. Settle down.

- I was pleasantly surprised with Jack Harlow’s effort in the admittedly lackluster White Men Can’t Jump reboot.

- These country singers need to chill with the classic covers. Luke Combs’ “Fast Car” is almost as bad as Hootie’s “Wagon Wheel.”

- Speaking of, Tracy Chapman’s The Promise is one of the more beautiful songs I’ve ever heard.

- Let’s see:

Bengals - perennial contenders
Reds - genuine phenomenon on the upswing
Gridiron Wildcats- Top 25ish program now
Hardwood Wildcats- welp we’ll see

Add Chris Stapleton covering John Foggerty’s Joy of my Life.

Cover it live in concert if you want to sing it to your fans, but to add it to an album and put it out as a remake for yourself is a bit overboard.
