I just think the phrase "very, very active eater in the Houston restaurant scene" is one of the most neckbeard things I've ever seen. If this is all an elaborate troll, bravo. Beautifully executed.

I'll give you that... I guess out of context it certainly appears very neckbeardy here. Considering the conversation the pres and I had I don't feel it was unwarranted in communication with him.

clearly the president has never invited you to dine with him.

Except this time it was a rushed lunch with the wife before picking up the kid from daycare. Different kind of hangover this afternoon than the ones we had from the late night coney runs.

And when there was one across from TAMU in the early 90's, people from Dallas just didn't get it. They looked at Houston folks like - it's just a hot dog and had no interest.

Not growing up in Houston and then moving here out of college, this whole thread is bizarre to me.

1) Someone likes hotdogs enough to reach out to the President of the company. Who does that?

2) The President of a company agrees to meet with the person to discuss company strategy. What President does that?

3) There are apparently a bunch of you that are nostalgic for a hot dog restaurant.

4) Hot Dog restaurant apparently thinks they can get $10+ for a lunch combo...

I ate there one time with my FIL and BIL (both Houstonians) at one off 1960 somewhere like 15 years ago. I am pretty sure Sonic makes a better hot dog, not that I have bought one there. But the hot dog was alright, chili was probably about like Wolf Brand quality. Never went back, haven't missed it...

Do you guys miss Steak and Ale & Sizzler as well?

I loved Steak and Ale. They always had a decently priced lunch menu and the salad bar was awesome! Last time I checked the one I frequented way now an adult entertainment place.

Mentioning Steak and Ale makes me sad. I got the chicken about half the time too.

Just for clarification, we talking Rollerblades or skateboards here? Not sure one of those gives you much room to be judgmental.

Settle down Johnny Weir. We all believe you are hockeying and not ice dancing.
