Most people call them something else. (I'm not sure what they're called around here, but we don't have one anyway, so I haven't bothered to find out.)

I was searching for NE Ohio-specific terms to answer Flyer_70's bubbler challenge, and that is the only one I could think of.

I've been to Lankford, just didn't eat. They were way busy and I only had an hour. It was topped off by a long walk back to the car and a sudden downpour halfway back.

I highly reccomend Pete's Fine Meats on Richmond.

Allison Cook likes Burger Guys way out on Westheimer; they're on my list as is the Bosnian place (Cafe Pita +) with the lamb/hamburgers.

I can't wait for Hubcap Grill to open in the Heights. That works great for workday lunches.

Rebooked from Friday morning to late Friday afternoon. Here's hoping they actually operate the flights I'm now booked on.

Makes AUS feel like one of those small cities in Montana.

Did more searching and found some okay fares out of BUR on the dAArkside for $270... LAX is close to $400 and it is cheaper to book separate LAX-SJC and SJC-AUS on AS

I might do that...
