I guess the question isn’t whether Mahomes is better than Brady; is Mahomes better than Hurts? #SuperBowl

The Colts vs Giants game was the @Patriots best win of the season. #NewEnglandPatriots

A 20% or so service charge in lieu of gratuity is fair; doing this and not so subtly encouraging additional tipping is poor form and constitutes deceptive pricing and/or making the customer feel guilty, i.e. poor hospitality.

Wonderful new seafood centric Mexican resto, Mariscos San Pedro. Enjoyed sitting at the chef counter watching my dorade cook in the wood oven. Outstanding salsas and aguachile; fantastic dessert as well.

The one good about these chilly fall temperatures is my living room is the perfect temp to serve Bordeaux

Looking back my favorite meal in Mallorca was at ** Voro. Beautiful, off the beaten path location, well worth the detour. Whimsical meal, but not at the expense of quality. Best service of the trip as well.

Not even a year old and @ Carino is already one of the best restaurants in Chicago.

Final tasting menu in Spain. Ended on a strong note at Zaranda. Playful, creative cuisine with a story behind it in a beautiful restaurant.

Fun wine tasting at the beautiful Can Piza in Mallorca. Have had plenty of white, red, rose and orange wine but blue wine was a first.

Quite a dinner @ Fusion19 last night. Great views of the kitchen and the heart of the wine cellar from our table.
