The San Diego area thread

[blackzag05]

The tips are touching so many places. Hard to keep up.

I would love to join in today at some point but have no idea where y'all be. Let a sista know!!

 

[drbenzo1]

Yeah that didn't come out right, lol. STRAIGHT CARNE. No one needs all the ******** in a "California" burrito.

I've already made my opinions clear in the burrito thread...

Do you guys not buy all the fortunate island? It's like a better gumball head.

A little too sweet for me.

Anybody try Pickleweed Point yet?

That was inspiration for that beer. I used to buy it more often, especially for golf. Problem is there are so many more options in cans around town now.

Yes. Good IPA, but not going to blow you out of the water. EliotRosewater and I did a fun Blind IPA thing last Friday

It was more about haze, but added to clear beers and PW didn't completely stand out but solid IPA. And the haze beers all started to taste the same in practice

I'm clearly behind this conversation by at least a couple of pages, but can't catch up right now.

powz87 , are you from Chicago? I'm visiting over Memorial Day weekend, need to know the hot scoop on where to visit, probably after 8 or 9pm so I can slip out on the wife and kids after dinner n ****.

Also, who's going to Festival of Funk this weekend? I'm in for VIP, haven't planned **** for **** with my itinerary, happy to meet up and hang out with some TB fellas, share stories, touch tips, etc.

Get at me.

 

[sdreaper]

In for VIP at FoF and some post fest action at Stone / Bottlecraft.

 

[chemman141]

In for VIP and totally wanted to check out Stone/Bottlecraft after CoC but didn't get around to it so that sounds fun.

 

[SerenityNow]

I'm drinking three-month-old Costco-aged Swami's and it's making me reconsider ever buying hype IPA cans ever again. Why even bother when this **** is still better, even months later?

We just joined Costco on the weekend. Living the dream. #TalkCostco

For alcohol, you don't actually need to be a Costco member. Just tell them at the front you're there to buy alcohol (or pills, I believe) and they'll let you in. They check your card again at the register, so you have to stick to booze.

Wasn't even there for the alcohol (already own too much). I wanted all those free food samples & Don Lee chicken patties.

Regular session for me. Want to pick up those cases of beer I owe you while you are down here?

My purchases at Costco:

• Pellegrino
• Bourbon
• Toilet Paper

That's pretty much it. Well, and gasoline.

And the $10 pizza?

Rotisserie chicken? Definitely did not pass on that. It's been an orgy of Costco food this week for us.

Make your own roasted chicken, B. Then, use the bones for stock and make a bomb ass soup.

Looking like a boss though, in head to toe Costco.

 

[disapowzment]

Better taste-wise, but I defy you to make roasted chicken for less than $5. And that's not counting the time or mess. If you try to get a "healthier" chicken (organic, jidori, cage-free yada-yada), the cost multiplies.

Amen on the pizza as well. Pizza, a chicken and some steamed broccoli got my family fed for at least three days on $20.

Use the the skin, bones and drippings to make stick for some kick -ass rice.

FINE I DIDNT WANT TO SEE YOU ANYWAY

Costco also has incredible deals on meat. Prime tritip for super cheap? Yes ******* please.

 

[evilc]

Might belong in the toxic topics thread, but despite the USDA grading I find their meat to be of a lower quality than that you get elsewhere. No clue where they are sourcing from but it ain't the same as that from Valley, Siesels, Iowa Meat Farms etc. ( locals )

I agree in regards to their steaks, but their slab beef has been real good to me.
