I would NOT try that at home. I would leave it to the professionals!

I usually do, especially the side dishes. Not as expensive as it looks if you know your way around Korean restaurants. There is no “cheap” German food that I’ve ever found here in the metroplex.

I worked in the DFW area (Grand Prairie) for a spell in ‘07 and stayed at the BW in Irving right by the 183/360/I-35 freeways. There was this little non-Italiano (Mexicans) pizza joint in a strip mall around the corner and they made really good Calzone. Not bad!

“:’) The search isn’t all it could be.”
Lol! For sure. I envision myself at one of those parties where I lay on my side sipping wine while several hot babes feed me grapes :)

although the rich, like Piso, got better cuts, ate meat more often and likely in larger quantities. wait / what? there are bad cuts of pork? - haven't had one yet
To: 2ndDivisionVet
Probably. I was only there for 3 months. Too long to be living in a hotel smack-dab in the middle of all that. Hooters was nearby too but the manager there would have prerecorded Ultimate Fighting matches playing in a loop on half of the TV’s in there. As if to discourage a guy from staying for more than a couple of Shiner Bock’s...

So what did they expect people ate a mere 2k years ago? Unicorns?
