any story behind this? how did you find out this is what you want to do, plan of attack, etc?

---

no real story behind it, just my biz partner/roommate and i have talked alot about making $ outside of poker and after some research we think the real estate thing is a great way to do it. plan is to buy a few single family homes at first, then keep trading them up until we own lots of big apartment complexes.

its about getting a loan for a place and then letting whoever is live there pay off the mortgage. it will be super hard to lose money doing this because theres so many great deals we can get right now with the real estate market being so beaten down (and also people needing cash to cover other investments)

ya, def man! Common sense dictates that now is the time to find smart investments in real estate and stocks. But people are such lemmings, and this is what makes it such a good time to invest.

Where are you looking to buy?

probably just around here (col. springs) at first, after that im not sure.

im gonna be in chicago the thursday before easter, u gonna be down for a night out?

wow that looks amazing

light, heavy, heavy, heavy, light.

fish, fish, other, fish, chicken, other, fish.

I dont really get the progression of this tasting at all. And some of the dishes are just downright awkward. Like, what lace does angel food cake have on that plate? And whats up with the plating? The scrambled egg dish has all the main components on the rim of the plate which is especially bad on this plate since if you press down with your knife the thing seems likely to tilt.

Some cool techniques going on, but beyond that...


oh and epic bump.

berlin was all late nights in nakoeln and kreuzberg
singapore in a couple of days
then Miri (malaysia, on borneo) for a few weeks as a base for dive trips and maybe a mountain. Plus cheap street vendor feasting. Legality of poker there? then NZ and summer and climbing and surfing and outdoor festivals. Maybe a few weeks in oz thrown in.
Then...... hopefully vegas july 2010

but what did you think of the taste and texture, and the service?

That is a hell of a lot of foie gras. There's some interesting flavour combos there though.

2 inch by 1.5 inch disk filled with passionfruit sauce, the picture is misleading

Ah, the plates look ginormous. They are saucer sized, then?

I'd say dessert plate sized but dessert is never served on small plates anymore.

how in the hell is this thread 4 spades

I just cummed a little in my mouth.

flomo, obv I cant comment on service but from what I can see the texture and flavor combos look a bit strange. But having not experienced them they could be damned good. Also I thought the first post was the entire meal. Still there seems to be no sense of progression much less any respect paid to classical progression. Also Im gonna come out and say it... the plating just straight up sucks.

aim better next time...

boost,

traditional diners stay away from his place, but i think yhou would like his place if you tried it. i assume you have an open mind.

flomo

dude, Id so be down to try it.. Its just that Ive seen other molecular gastronomy stuff that was "out there" but also seemed to make sense. This just seems out there. But like I said Id def want to try it, after all theres no way I could possibly give a real critique based on pictures.

As a side note, it is fairly unsafe to take pictures like these while driving.

I'm waiting for 12/12/12, because my 11 goes to 12.
