  1. I got one for my birthday in May as well.  I love it.  Seasoned it 5-6 times with the blackstone seasoning stuff they sell but I'm sure you can use any type of fat to do it.  I bought the cheaper accessories off Amazon and they're great.  Also, I suggest buying a bulk pack of the tin grease traps.  I'm on #3 already I think.  Cleaning it can be a pain, but I've found that if you clean it right after with the burners still on, it is so much easier.  

     

    My favorites so far:

    -Bacon, eggs, corned beef hash obviously

    -Steak and cheese hoagies were amazing

    -Smash burgers

    -Perfect pancakes

     

    I've tried other things like pork chops and chicken but definitely think those are best left to a regular grill.

    Anyone on here interested in or participating in sports betting?  I dabble, albeit very small wagers, but would love to have a thread on here to see what people in the Bills community like and their takes on why they like those plays.

     

    Something I have been thinking about playing, almost an auto-play, is the Sabres team total at over 3.5 Goals.  By my amateur handicapping, I believe that has been a winner in 23 of 36 games this year, meaning it hits at like 64%ish.

     

    Hoping I am not the only "degen" on here who gets a little kick out of some small wagers.

     

    I also dabble with small wagers.  I took advantage of all of the deals they gave out when it became legal in NY.  I put $100 in my account last January and took $100 back out when I had earned enough to do so.  So I've just been playing around with house money for the last year.  One of my big winners is also the Sabres, but the total game OVER.  In division games they are hitting overs at a pretty ridiculous rate.  I think I read that in the last 28 division games, OVERs are 20-7-1.

     

    I also just throw a unit or two on big games and Bills game.  Nothing crazy, but it's definitely fun.

    I am in the same boat. For all the bellyaching, getting Sunday ticket at a discount or free for many years really was a sweet perk that we won’t ever see again. I will probably call to cancel here soon too. Will be weird to take down that ugly dish! 

     

    When I cancelled years ago, I didn't realize that they don't come and take it down.  They just leave it, so I transformed my dish into an antennae.  It was so simple to just take the cap off, attach an antennae and the cables are already running into your rooms.  It's fantastic.

  4. I recall noticing a bunch of Cover 3 Buzz with Milano or another underneath defender.  HIstory tells us that McDermott is a C3 heavy defense so in that defense, the corners job is to make sure #1 is not going deep first.  It is a relatively softer coverage and susceptible to hitch and shorter outside routes.  Tre has always been very good at reading routes and breaking quickly on shorter ones.  He may just be a half a step slow right now but he's slowly ramping it up.  He's going to be fine.

    What part of town are you staying in?  Also are you from Buffalo?  That would impact my recommendation for Italian food. If you are near Tonawanda, Prescott’s Provisions is my rec. Make reservations, share a bunch of plates and get dessert. 

     

    Prescott's is probably my favorite restaurant in Buffalo.  Fantastic meal every single time.

    Did you ever watch Daredevil? Disney+ finally got the rights to it, but it started on Netflix and is easily one of the best Marvel shows. The fight sequences alone are some of the best in any TV show ever.

     

    100% agree.  Amazing show and felt like it really started the Marvel series popularity on Netflix. I loved The Punisher as well.

    I'm gonna guess the answer is probably no but I'll ask the question anyway.

     

     

    For me I did not.  A combination of commuting to college, large University, immaturity, social anxiety, and course load.

     

     

    But maybe I'll be surprised what stories people come up with here.  

     

    I think I'm friends on facebook with a few but definitely not close.  I commuted to school and had a rather large group of H.S. friends that I still hang out with still.  I always say that I didn't REALLY go to college, I just went to class.

    Interesting story.  What's the best explanation you can come up with?

     

    Did you ever reach a resolution of some kind as to what happened?

     

     

     

    Never really looked into it further.  I don't think I've been back that way since that day.  Just kind of a weird experience that I don't think I'll ever have an answer to.  Maybe there was a side road that I didn't notice or some other reasonable explanation but nothing I could come up with that day.

    Nervous, excited, not sure what to do! Wife is 12 weeks, absolutely pumped but also scared sh$tless.
     

    Can I drink even though she can’t? How about eating sushi?
     

    Any seasoned vets out there willing to provide some insight? 

    Congrats!  I had a son in April.  I absolutely love it.

     

    One thing I will say, nothing can prepare you for that first month.  Nothing.  I thought I'd be fine with the lack of sleep but I was dead wrong.  Figure out a schedule right off the bat so one of you can sleep at a time.  If both of you are getting no sleep, it's not good for anyone.  We would do half night shifts where one of us would sleep in the living room with the baby while the other slept in the bedroom so at least one person is getting 4-4.5 hours at a time.  Every day is different and every day is awesome.

  10. The following was just a weird experience, not saying it was a ghost or not but it was something we could not explain. 

     

    I was probably 17 or 18, driving back from a day at the beach at Sherkston.  I had a couple friends in the car and we had heard that there was a mansion being built about 3 mins off the main road that we were on.  We decided to go check it out for some reason.  We turn down the side road which was pavement until a certain point and then turns into gravel/dirt about half way down.  It's narrow so you'd have to kind of move to the side of the road if cars were coming from both directions.  As we pass onto the gravel we see a dated car in what seemed to be perfect condition parked on the side of the road.  Looked to be late 60's-early 70's era with 2 guys and 2 girls taking pictures of each other on the hood of the car.  They were in bathing suits and I can't remember what the camera looked like but I remember thinking that it was just a really weird scene.  As we veered around them, they were friendly, smiled and waved to us.  We got a couple hundred yards passed them and realized we were on the wrong street of the mansion and decided to turn around.  I did a three point turn and headed back towards where we came.  Right when I turned around I noticed that the car was gone.  Nothing.  It couldn't have been more than 30 seconds to a minute since we passed the group.  No dust from the car leaving, nothing.  This was only one long road too, ditch on both sides, with no houses, driveways, crossing streets, nothing. 

     

    My buddies and I never could really explain it, but we all experienced the same thing.  

  11. Yes, have to train every year for my profession.  30-2 is the current compressions-breaths that I was taught. 

     

    Another new guideline for this year is that you no longer are required to check for a pulse.  If the victim is unresponsive and not breathing you can go right into chest compressions rather than waste time looking for a pulse.

     

    We teach our high schoolers how to do the chest compressions so in case their is an emergency, they at least have an idea of what to do or how to help someone else.  They also are taught where the AEDs in the school are.  The quicker the AED is on scene, the better chance for survival.

     

     

  12. I got rid of DirecTV a little over two years ago.  Went with an antenna that I could connect to my existing satellite dish that was already on my roof.  I get the basic local channels and a few stragglers.  I have Kodi, Netflix, Amazon Prime, MLB TV, and my mother-in-law's DirecTV log-in for HBO, Showtime, Watch ESPN, etc.  This works for us.

    I'm curious to get feedback on this, and to know if I'm being reasonable or not.

     

    I took the wife out to dinner for her birthday at one of the nicer steakhouses out here - the kind of place where a $300 dinner for two is typical.  We both ordered filets with identical temperatures - medium rare.

     

    When the steaks arrived, hers was significantly underdone in comparison to mine - mine was perfect while hers was blue rare.  We let the waiter know, and he sent it back to the kitchen and they reheated the steak.

     

    Obviously, when you throw a rested steak back on the grill and re-serve, it's not going to be anywhere near as good as it would have been had they cooked it properly the first time.  Since it hadn't rested, it started losing moisture and the overall texture was rubbery, particularly in comparison to the steak on my plate.  It was nowhere near worth the $65 they charged.

     

    Would you expect some kind of goodwill gesture on the bill or not?  We didn't get one.  I can't remember ever asking for compensation in a restaurant; I usually let the restaurant decide, and simply do not return if I feel like they haven't done the right thing.  I didn't say anything here and am not planning on returning.  But, I'm wondering if my expectations are too high here given the caliber of the restaurant and the particular situation.

     

    If I'm paying $300 for two people for a meal, you better believe I'm going to complain if it's not up to my standards.  You're paying for the experience and the quality of the meal.  If it's not up to par then call them on it.  I'm usually not a complainer at most places because I'm not very picky.  I always order steaks mid rare because I don't mind over and or under cooked at that temp so I'm usually satisfied lol.

     

    Even if they did not comp the steak, if you at least complained a second time I would expect a round of drinks or a free dessert.  Something that says that they acknowledge the mistake.

    Chicken Finger sub w/ Blue cheese, side of rings. Good Guys, N.T.

     

    Great last meal if your going to the chair!

     

    First place I thought of when I saw this thread.  Fantastic subs, especially chicken finger and steak and cheese.

     

    Underrated place is Tailgate Deli in Kenmore.  Turkey Club sub with banana peppers.

    So is it good like the junction?

     

    It was actually started by two managers that quit Pizza Junction years ago.  They started Good Guys Pizza together.  It's heavy like Junction used to be but better in my opinion.  Their blue cheese is unreal and everything else on the menu is fantastic, too.
