All my take out places from the past are gone that served pretty decent food and a good quantity of it as well.

Timmy Chan's Gulfton RIP so much food for when I was so poor I could get three meals for $8.

Hot Shot Wok on Brompton fantastic Orange Beef and never messed up an order.

OG Hong Kong Chef the owner lady used to call me Mr. Late for being the last order of the day.

I got RSV ripping through me right now and it is way worse than break through COVID so I really want something comforting for dinner.

Thanks

We've commemorated upper deck home runs since the Dome. Yordan even has one at Minute Maid.

That HR deserves the same treatment or more. A nice stencil of the trophy in gold would be just fine from me.

However, I wouldn't mind that if everyone could point out the seat almost anywhere in the park. So Game of Thrones inspired would also be nice and well deserved.

Usually I run to Droubi's because it's close but I'm pretty burned out them. If I remember correctly Abdallah's and Cedar's are not much different from Droubi's.

Then every store on Hillcroft has their own brand which they may or may not bake.
