Murray’s Bagels was the place that was recommended as the “bagel you’ve gotta try” and after that commute into Manhattan and that long line, I was just like “meh.”

There was a place on Flushing Ave by where we stayed called Westway Bagel Co. that I liked a lot, though. Every morning I’d walk downstairs and roam around the block before my wife woke up, grab bagels from there (no line), and bring a couple back. They played The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air on TV. I’d always ask for a side of butter because the apartment fridge didn’t have any and I always needed some for morning eggs. By the last day I was there, the Puerto Rican guy already had my butter ready for me. That was a really good bagel. Maybe NYC bagels are as much about the neighborhood than that Catskill water theory?

i have never had a bagel in houston and would be shocked if there aren’t high quality purveyors at this point

Nothing will get me to stop going to a restaurant faster than the person behind the counter recognizing me and telling me what I am going to order before I have the chance to say anything. I want to remain anonymous and unpredictable

Are steak nights at bars as big of a thing where you guys live as they are here? I realized the other day that one could hit up ten different steak nights M-F in a span of two weeks and not visit the same place twice. I've had people from out of town here tell me that's not normal, but to me it's a fact of life. Every single bar with a patio I can think of has one night a week designated as steak night. Some much better than others.

Never heard of steak nights, around here.

There’s an Asian place by me that serves egg drop soup with pork dumplings in it and I think I’m addicted

Anyone have any tips on making great caprese salad? I know it’s simple, of course, but what makes it the best it can be? Marinate? Don’t marinate? Thoughts?
