Just had some of the greatest texas style brisket ever at this place called "Smoque" over on addison and pulaski. Someone told me that the place was shown on the food network channel so I had to check it out and boy did they deliver. Its hard to find a place with good brisket in chicago but this place nailed it!

Hopefully when we deploy it to our users it will stop a lot of the nonsense issues that they run into with XP/Vista. Microsoft still needs to address at some point their security model. A wrapper/layer similar to SE-Linux or a chroot jail that could isolate and sandbox the browser and its plugins from the OS would be nice. That would turn this into a first rate OS. Thank God I got out of the Army when i did.. The military is supposed to upgrade to windows 7 in late 2010. I cant imagine having to deal with all the Captains and Majors and Lieutenants screaming that they have no clue how to use windows 7 and they need their outlook set up properly NOW!! lol.. its funny you think that with a proper college educatioin theyd at least know how to set up their own emails accounts...

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jan 28, 2010 -> 04:08 PM) Windows 7 is f***ing awesome. i like windows 7, it definitely eats up less resources than vista. i installed it on my dads old laptop and it runs fine. it runs amazing when i dual boot off of my macbook pro. im still trying to find all the nooks and crannies of the OS.

Thanks Jim! i was actually looking for some south side spots so this helps a lot thank you for contributing to my future obesity Another spot thats worthy of a mention is Hot Dougs on California and Addison.. This place is just amazing, it gained a lot of its attention during Chicago's foie gras ban a couple years ago. As Doug (the owner) was the only actual person that was fined for selling it in the city. Now that the ban is over they are back to using foie gras on the menu, and its damn good

Hey guys! Some of you might remember me from way back when, the reason I haven't been posting much at all on the site was because of me being in the military and what not for the past four years, well.. Im back in Chicago and you all can bet your butts that one of first things ive been doing since coming back home is going to all my favorite food joints that only Chicago can offer... Im always interested in learning about new places that I havent been to that can be vouched for by other people as having amazing eats... All im asking is for you to please drop some names of some places that you would consider so good that you would HAVE to eat there at least once before you perish from this earth Ill start out by naming my all time favorite place... Kumas Corner on belmont and elston.. By far the greatest burgers i have ever eaten in my life, and the atmosphere of the place is real neat. Great service and all.. You just have to pretty much guarantee yourself that you will be waiting in line for at least an hour at any given time of any given day.. But the wait is well worth it!

i think this will be a flop unfortunately, as much as i love my apple products (Macbook Pro with OSX and windows 7 ftw). like its been said, no flash support, no camera, no replaceable battery, no Multi-tasking and no HDMI port hit hard for a nerd like me. and the hard drive space isnt very impressive.. cmon steve jobs gimme something over 200 gigs at least to fit all my music, movies, audiobooks etc....

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 25, 2009 -> 04:38 PM) I just dont get what your argument is. What does it matter if Soccer isnt the #1 sport in the US? what IS the #1 sport in the US anyways? Freedom of choice is a mofo aint it?

i have no problem with Becks wanting to play in Europe to impress Fabio Capello into getting him on the world cup squad (Honestly i believe this England squad they have going is really really impressive), but its like what zen said, the problem is that he talked up the move to LA as a huge step for American soccer and it was supposed to bring a lot more attention to the MLS, but to me it seems hes spent the most of his MLS career either injured, or in italy, and its not like the Galaxy are paying him pennies to be there.

IMO i think the LA fans have a right to be a little upset about the situation, i mean Beckham just keeps going on the news saying that he believes hell be back at Milan in the future and that playing for Milan gives him a better chance at making the England squad, basically totally crapping on the L.A. Galaxy. Then you have a class guy like Landon Donovan complaining about Beckhams dedication to the team. But a situation similair to this has been seen before with Christiano Ronaldo last offseason when Real Madrid tried to scoop him up and he would go out and say that it would be a dream move and blahblahblah, the Man Utd. fans hated it but for the most part seemed to forget about it once he scored his first goal. If beckham does amazing things for LA and takes them all the way this year then thatll be the only way that things may possibly be forgiven.... IMO...

Fedor vs. Lesnar FTW. I dont know if anyone has mentioned this yet but Fedors contract with Affliction is over after his fight with Josh Barnett and Dana is very keen on adding him to the UFC roster.

QUOTE (qwerty @ Jul 12, 2009 -> 01:17 AM) Once i have already made my millions, upon millions, upon millions, etc... i just cannot see much of a difference in 55 million compared to say 60 million over five years (just an example) truly is. You are loaded regardless. Either way, yourself, and generation after generation should be more than well off. Several million should not be the deciding factor in ultimate happiness... family, friends, enviroment, etc. Simply put, if i was already more than set for life, i cannot see myself putting my family and i in a place we truly did not want to be (those years will clearly never come back) just for the sake of having a bigger bank role. You can't take a dime of that money with you when you die, it just seems pointless to me, enjoy life while you can. First time i have posted in an nba related thread in years, hell, this entire forum practically. haha i love when you talk basketball A.J. its so cute its like u think u know what your yalking about n stuff
