    In addition to the list of local eats, I would highly recommend Ugly Baby. I think it's no longer than a 10 minute walk and some of the best authentic Thai food I've ever had. Bonus: It's BYO.

    Agreed. It probably doesn’t even take 10 mins walking on your hands. Amazing place

    And let’s remove McDonalds

    I know someone who frequents this thread and fancies bacon egg and cheese biscuits. As per who that is, I plead the fifth.

    I think McD's is great drinking food- it's not very filling but it's either excessively salty or sweet and resets the palate accordingly.

    Is this a second Syracuse drop, or was the one from last week delayed as it seems to be the same beers?

    Agreed! Not even close. Non DDH GP was so much better.

    This JW Lees yeast strain mash up version of DDH ACE is not promising - Tremendous Ideas was pretty awful imo...

    I would definitely not say awful. It was just non-descript and didnt stand out. I thought it was still a good beer. Unfortunately not every beer can epic and transcendent.
