Just a quick note, I had a family member that wanted to go back to Saltgrass (was there with a job event previously) so I recently took the fam there. Nothing special, reminded me a lot of that steakhouse at 21st and Rock 20 years ago, solid, friendly, nothing pretentious.

You pretty much expect to pay ridiculous prices when you go out these days but for steaks etc I didn't think the prices were out of line, considering quality and location. Everything we had was very good to excellent. The staff was friendly and attentive even though we thought they were fairly busy and a tad understaffed (for that many patrons). But the siracha honey glazed quail appetizers were next world. Seriously, easily one of the best and most surprisingly outstanding things I've had in 3 years at least. Would recommend.

Timberline? That place was good. Had that meal with the team a few times.

How’s taco shop these days? I miss grabbing a case of coors and 3 dozen soft tacos after a long week of work.

If anyone makes it out to Great Bend, I thought Los Dos Portrillos was a pretty good Mexican joint.

Taco shop and good BBQ are the only holes in my foodie heart.

Bah, you can easily make your own BBQ. But I'm not sure how to replicate junk food like Taco Shop. That takes special chemicals or something.

Your soft, pliable, arteries likely cannot be replicated after they become hardened if you eat 3 dozen tacos washed down by a case of Coors every weekend.

Wait, the Coors doesn't flush out the taco gunk??

I’m talking about the BBQ culture, the competitions, the homemade beans and sauces. Don’t take that for granted. I gave my smoker to my best friend when I moved. I’ve got another sitting down there waiting for me to come get it, and I’m enough of a snob to not buy one from Lowe’s or Home Depot up here.

You're making me hungry.
