Zeytinia by the National Gallery? That's totally worth it. Very hit or miss -- how do you make a mediocre hummus? But when they hit OMG do they ever hit. I have had versions of Turkish classics there that are better than the best versions in Istanbul. Interesting place.

Messeria I have heard of but never gone to. Thanks the recs...

I've not had a huge miss there. I did send a dish back. Burnt scallops. They took care of me on it and apologized effusively. Maybe it's going down. I hope not. Reasonably priced; good service. Close in.

Who here is not surprised AA likes the statues...

Love the statues. Hell, my userpic is now the scowl of a statue.

[Wild Hoss]

Huh. I would have thought something more along these lines would have caught your fancy.

This statue of Jefferson Davis won't be around much longer if the Progs get their way. Learn from it while you still can

[Wild Hoss]

W..T...F is that?

Who posted the Jerry Sandusky statue?

Wiz, were you born nea -- never mind. That was exceptional! Line of the week if not the month.

[AlabamAlum]

Considering the content here (myself included), that isn't really high approbation.

I think less of myself for finding that as funny as I did.

Blue Smith committed to OSU over the weekend. That gives OSU 17 verbals and a 247 teams score of over 294. Smith is rated 119th by 247 and is the 12th highest rated OSU verbal. If, e.g., they were to add the verbal of Tyreke Smith then they would top 300 with 18 verbals. It appears that the time to get Ohio State is now. Unfortunately, Schiano is almost surely gone after this season and Wilson is probably gone after the next.

Related, I was watching some sort of asshat show on PJ Fleck long enough to see that he's looking for kids with 5* heart.

We'll see how that strategy works out for him.

Urban isn't done picking and choosing yet?

PJ Fleck isn't an X's or O'x guy, he's going to need to recruit well (for the West) AND have very good coordinators (we'll see). Gopher's should be happy with 6-8 wins a season from him.
