The Taco Cabana take is controversial but honest. Nobody is eating TC for the quality. We eat it because it is open, cheap, and consistent. Respect the role player.

Slow Bone banana pudding is a religious experience. I am not exaggerating.

Hot take: The Dark Knight Rises is the weakest film in its trilogy by a wide margin. Bane's plan makes no logical sense. The trilogy ranking is carried entirely by The Dark Knight.

DCAD website tip: use their property search to find your neighbors appraisals. If anyone on your street is lower per square foot, thats your evidence. Its on THEIR website.

Deep Rock Galactic deserves more love. The community is the most positive in gaming. Everyone yells "Rock and Stone" and helps each other. No toxicity. Just dwarves mining.

Chrono Trigger is the GOAT JRPG and I will debate anyone. The New Game+ system, the 13 different endings, the soundtrack — no RPG has matched it in 30 years. The Steam version is the best way to play it in 2026.

Texas Theatre in Oak Cliff showing A24 films is peak Dallas culture. Saw The Brutalist there with a post-screening Q&A. The audience discussion afterward was better than most film school seminars.

Event fatigue is real. I stopped buying Marvel monthlies when they launched their third crossover event in one year. Each one required buying 15 tie-in books to understand the story. I am not spending $75 per month on a hobby.

Goldee's at #1 was deserved in 2021. They have slipped a bit but a "slipped" Goldee's is still better than 95% of BBQ in America.

Warrior being undermarketed is a crime. A show based on Bruce Lee's writings with incredible fight choreography and it gets buried. Watch it if you have not.

35 minute wait on a Saturday is nothing compared to 2018 when it was 90+ minutes. The hype has normalized and honestly the experience is better for it.

Claude Code is a different beast entirely. It is not a copilot — it is an autonomous agent. I gave it a ticket description and it implemented the entire feature across 8 files, wrote tests, and they all passed. I just reviewed the PR.

Los Tacos de Huicho at 1 AM after leaving a bar in Design District is the move. The asada with grilled onions and a lime Jarritos.

Too Hot to Handle is simultaneously the dumbest and most entertaining show Netflix has ever made. That is not a compliment and not an insult. It just IS.

You are sleeping on Taqueria El Paisano on Harry Hines. Birria tacos on Saturday mornings. Get there before 11 or they sell out.

This is the way. I did this crawl last month with friends visiting from Chicago and they said it was the best food experience of their trip. Better than any fancy Dallas restaurant.

Ultimate Spider-Man by Hickman is the book I look forward to most every month. Peter Parker as a dad juggling superpowers and parenting is the Spider-Man story we have needed for decades. Checchetto's art is clean and expressive.

The Mega Center appointment trick saved me 3 hours. Garland Mega Center, 8 AM appointment, in and out in 20 minutes.

One Piece anime pacing is so bad that fans created a 500+ hour fan edit (One Pace) just to make it watchable. That tells you everything about Toei's approach to the adaptation.

Press Cafe is Fort Worth's Bread Winners equivalent. A local institution that never disappoints.

Craig Mazin adapting this story for TV was always going to be divisive. He leaned into the controversy instead of softening it. Respect the commitment even if the result is polarizing.

Watchmen and The Dark Knight Returns being DC properties means DC wins the "greatest comic stories ever told" category by default. Those two works transcended the medium. Nothing in Marvel's catalog has that cultural weight in literary circles.

Legend of the Galactic Heroes at Level 4 is correct placement. 110 episodes of political space opera with no filler. It is the anime equivalent of reading War and Peace and equally rewarding.

Black Swan is the bar that every other Deep Ellum bar wishes it was. No gimmicks, just excellent drinks.

Florence Pugh in Dune Part Two AND Thunderbolts* proves she is the most versatile actress working right now. Completely different characters, both commanding.
