1). Corkscrew BBQ

Is Corkscrew BBQ bad? No. However, waiting two to four hours for fairly standard barbecue does not make sense to me. A Michelin Bib Gourmand is reasonable, but a star feels misaligned with the overall experience. I have been to Michelin starred barbecue spots in Austin, and they offered distinct options that justified both the recognition and the wait. In this case, I would rather go to places like Pinkerton's Barbecue, The Pit Room, Truth BBQ, or Killen's Barbecue. They offer comparable brisket and ribs without the excessive wait, so I do not see what meaningfully differentiates Corkscrew.

2). Agnes and Sherman

I have seen this restaurant mentioned frequently, so I decided to try it. I was initially hesitant based on the menu and photos, but its popularity made it worth evaluating. The best item was a spin-off of a Caesar salad. Beyond that, the food both looked and tasted unrefined, closer to an experimental home kitchen of a single guy in his twenties than a cohesive restaurant concept. Unlike Corkscrew, where the food is at least solid, this experience was difficult to justify.

I can understand a brief period, but this is ridiculous at this point. Last, the people that love this crap need to go back north to whatever rust/frost belt shit hole they came from.

Yeah, you lacked sleep, but you eventually got adjusted to it and you had windows to do stuff. From week 6.5-9, my baby screams if she isn’t being held 90% of the time. We were actually going out(outdoor safe venues) the first 6 weeks, but now it’s just been take out and coffee if we are lucky. Enjoy the peace in the trenches while yall can.
