  Don't get me wrong. I'm all for ripping on someone if they've earned it, but you just ripped on someone who isn't that familiar with a city for not being more familiar with the city.

  I think your post being right after SnL was just an unfortunate proximity thing. My bad.

  Well he shouldn’t have put “you have to be retarded to live in Chicago” which was a direct shot at me. If he didn’t put that, I wouldn’t have said anything. But he made fun of Chicago and then went on to name two awful restaurants in Chicago lol

  Fuck that dude. Thavoice always has it coming for him. He gives it all the time whether he is being a passive aggressive douche bag, or being a redneck.

  I mean, I'm not really defending him. Just saying that making fun of someone who shouldn't be expected to be familiar with an area for in fact being unfamiliar with the area seems silly.
  
  But yeah, if he was going after him for the "anyone who wants to live in Chicago" comment ... I get it.

  Even if he didn't make that comment, he can go fuck himself. I still think he would deserve the hostility. His signature alone tells you all you need to know about thavoice.

  Also, there is this thing called google. It's not that hard to google top steakhouses in a steakhouse city. Google would tell you all you need to know about Ruth Chris and Pizanos. Might as well go to a hard rock cafe if you travel in Europe.

  I am more embarrassed for him, if anything.
• QuakerOats

  Well, at least he stayed at Trump Tower which is damn nice, and the view from the outdoor bar on 18th floor is simply amazing.

  So back to the rando travel....
  
  I mentioned I was going to St. Maarten in March, officially not happening now. The festival was cancelled and the entire island is still fucked. We got out villa deposit back, so all is good. Now we're thinking Miami. It will be much cheaper, but aside from the clubs, I'm not a huge fan of that city. We have a solid crew, so it should still be a good time.
  
  Other than that, I don't have anything coming up. I really want to go to Romania in August, but it's a ways away...also for a music festival. One way flights are super cheap right now, around $300, but I can't book because the festival dates have not yet been confirmed. I'm trying to find a route that goes through a city I've never been before and do a day or two layover. My friend went to the same festival two years and did Istanbul, but I'm not sure if Turkey is such a good spot right now. Calling like_that...thoughts? Lisbon is the leading candidate currently
  
  On the way back I'm doing Barcelona and Mallorca.
• QuakerOats

  Too bad about St. Maarten. Barcelona should be great.

  Sportslady likes to follow me around and rag on me. He is sorta like herpes, ya just cannot ever get rid of him but I can handle someone as insignificant as him. I feel sorry for him as I believe he was picked on as a kid and now feels the need to take out his anger on a message board. Tough. Guy.
  
  No, no starbucks at all on the trip thank God. That is for hipster dufusses.
  
  Chicago was alright, just not my type of town.
  
  They do have a Carsons Ribs and steakhouse. As I said, that was the hit of the trip foodwise........UNREAL. I am a steak guy but if all pork chops tasted like that I would be a chop guy. It was phenomenal. Lady said they have on in Chicago and are building another one or will soon. I see one is in Deefield north of Chicago. Telling ya, that chop was unreal!
  
  
  Likely wont stay at a place better than Trump Towers. A few of the places were closed due to 'security concerns' they were saying. Had to laugh at the prices in the mini bar and other drinks they offered in the room! SPent less than 24 hours there as we wanted to get to Iowa City for the Buckeyes game. Although they got their asses handed to them it was a fun game to watch. The stadium was rocking and that fake FG....legit!
  
  
  Guns and Roses was in the region and I decided to do the Milwaukee one and didn't disappoint whatsoever. Fantastic show.
  
  OK SNL....rip away. You know you cannot help yourself!

  I don't really have a dog in the fight. Feel free to carry on amongst yourselves.

  Voice man, you asked for Chicago steakhouse recommendations...claim to be a "steak guy"...and chose fucking Ruth's Chris? A. That's available in any city over 250k population. B. That is one of the absolute worst chain steakhouses there is. Jesus man.

  I like Starbucks and I don't consider myself a hipster dufuss.

  He’s a redneck, tough to blame him.

  I don’t understand why people call people hipsters who go to Starbucks. I used to work next to one and it was the most clutch thing ever. And I’m far from a hipster.

  If you want to be hostile toward someone you think deserves it, cool. Just seemed like a weird thing to use as a vehicle for that hostility.

  Trusting Google is like trusting that smart uncle on something related to pop culture. He's probably right, but you can't know for sure. Google is, after all, all about who does the best SEO. Not who is right.
  
  I've never been to Ruth Chris, but I'm also not a "steak guy." I love steak, but I'm hardly a connoisseur. I just like undercooked red meat in general.
  
  We've now talked about this so fucking much, I'm a little embarrassed about it.
  

  BRF;1881808 wrote:I like Starbucks and I don't consider myself a hipster dufuss.

  I've never actually had a coffee that was made there. I bought beans from there once, and I got a muffin there one time, but I also never thought of it as "hipster." If anything, it feels too mainstream for any self-respecting hipster.
  
  I think "basic" is the more appropriate colloquial term. The basic bitches all get their daily Double Ristretto Venti Half-Soy Nonfat Decaf Organic Chocolate Brownie Iced Vanilla Double-Shot Gingerbread Frappuccino Extra Hot With Foam Whipped Cream Upside Down Double Blended, One Sweet'N Low, One Nutrasweet, and Ice at Starbucks.*
  
  * Per Google, this is the longest order possible at Starbucks.

  Going to Vegas again in January, like I do every year.
  
  It's always fun, but only really because a lot of people I've come to know well go at the same time, and we all have a blast.
