Ive never eaten at the ranch. @plan9misfit and @pwny live/lived in Dallas, so they might have some suggestions. I know there are a few really good BBQ places. Probably a Chuys (tex-mex) or a Pluckers (wings) would be easy to find. As for local stuff, not sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we're planning on doing The Ranch at least one night. More so trying to find some Dallas-based places to check out, maybe some things to do. Going to go by The Star and the stadium even though they aren't doing tours right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually go to the ones in Addison and Allen. Their dry jerk rub is delicious. BBQ-wise, I love Hutchins BBQ. They’re in McKinney and Frisco, but I usually go to the one in McKinney. Pecan Lodge is really good, too. They’re in Deep Ellum, which is basically downtown Dallas. I don’t recommend any Mexican restaurants in Dallas. They’re all garbage. Granted, I grew up in L.A., which is one of the hotspots for authentic Mexican food, so I got a little spoiled. If you like Neopolitan Pizza, go to Cane Rosso in Frisco. It’s basically right at The Star. They used to be in Allen but they moved. AMAZING pizza. Edited November 3, 2020 by plan9misfit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re both incredible. I haven’t been back in Dallas in a while because of Covid and I’ve been dying for Hutchins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On some level, no, but it’s jarring how close it is in most states. No matter what happens, our country seems irreparably divided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, no. Left will win, but they still havent learned a damn thing from 4 years ago. Stop the nepotism and 800 year old candidates with an extensive history of lying and corrupt politics. Not that the incumbent has any legs to stand on whatsoever when it comes to morals and ethics, but like (the only commonality) Obama, his message was "change"/moving from the status quo. People are tired of life long politicians in their 60's-70's. How these two made it is insane...... ....... Just like 4 years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the split vote is due to two ishy options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, sure, seemingly most people weren’t thrilled by either choice- but they still fundamentally disagreed on which was the better/worse option, and felt pretty strongly about it, hence the record turnout. I don’t want too get deep into this of course but I just can’t stand how people turn this into a referendum on “this shows how tired America is of career politicians” when the alternative/incumbent is... how can I put this... umm... well, basically a cartoon.
