I have confusing interests. I also have love to review and test things while secretly rating items that are so subjective you can't have a definitive opinion about them. The List of Random 'Best of"...
Best place to get a great bottle of wine cheap- World Market
After travelling to Spain this past summer I've come to love Spanish wine as much or better than Napa Cabs or the Willamette Valley Pinot's. World Market carries some great wines in the $8- $12 range, they also have Catena Vineyards Malbec, a few nice pinots from the Russian Valley, and the typical Napa Valley Cab's. They also win the award for Best Halloween Hello Kitty Selection, Most flavors of Gnocchi, Best Affordable Chocolate Selection, Most likely to find hot recovering hippies working the cash register and best place to find a day of the dead wine opener.
Best fast Mexican food- Pollo Regio
Depending on who's working the register a basic knowledge of the Spanish language is needed. If you don't know Spanish then point at the picture or just say "Numero Dos por favor" and you will be set. Also winning the award for Best green sauce that might kill you, best orange sauce that will kill you, most likely to eat with day laborers award and most likely to have a Spanish dubbed 90's movie playing award.
Best place to find a dark corner while having an impressive beer selection- Londoner Addison.
It's definitely not cheap to drink here. But the dark pub with a great beer selection allows you to find a table off to the side and order Chimay Blue, Lakewood Punkel, or Peticolas Rye with your fish and chips. They have a jukebox, but the music is never overpowering, sit back and talk to whoever you bring and enjoy their company. Best Fish and Chips, and Best place to watch soccer too, unless you like the stupid stupid ticos- then go someplace else.
Best Samich- Jimmy's Food Store
When you order the samich directly from the butcher you automatically win. They grind and case their sausage in house, they cut their steaks in house and they make their meatballs on site. All their bread, cheese, and veggies come from local producers so you know they are fresh. By far the best samich I've had in a long time. They also carry fresh and recently flash frozen pastas. Seafood Cannoli, lobster ravioli, 4 cheese, meat stuffed, all of this looks wonderful and the prices aren't crazy. Also Best Olive Oil selection, Best place for Eucalyptus Honey, Best place to find pasta sauce made with real cream and butter, and best reason to go to the hood.
Best Happy Hour- Like I'd tell you, I don't want people going to my spot. Go some place like Sherlocks or any spot in Uptown where I won't be. Keep paying $4.25 for your coor light and $6 for a well vodka tonic because people tell you the place is a cool spot. While you're doing that I'll have a $4 20oz draft of St. Arnolds, Rouge, Sam Addams, or Dos Equis at my spot. Suck it!
Best Razor- Dollar Shave Club
It's anywhere from $1- $9 depending on what kind of blade you use, I was paying $25/ month for that freaking Gillette Fusion Power but now I pay $9 with their razor that has the same amount of blades and arrives on the 3rd of the month like clockwork in the mail. They have disposables for $1/ month if you just need that- either way your saving a ton of cash and the sticker shock pain each time Gillette or Schick decide to raise their prices. Best wet wipes too, called One Wipe Charlies- get em!
Best cable service- uhhh... none. They all suck and they all cost too much for a bunch of crap no one watches. If I could get a package with only sports and HBO I'd be in heaven. I don't even want those other channels available or displayed. 10- 15 channels and I'm set. Sadly it's not an option and you're stuck with turd warner or Att Usuck. Easiest place to be put on hold for an hour plus, easiest place to be transferred 4 times without ever actually accomplishing anything, and best place to find a guy lying about his name. Rajiet, we know your name isn't Micheal, just say Rajiet because no one cares.
Best place to Find Douche Bags in addison- Sherlocks
Sadly, Duke's and Blackfinn closed. When the douche trifecta was open all the cool bars had the right amount of people, never had DJ's playing untz, untz, untz music with lasers and people knew their spots. With the closing of two of these places in such a short amount of time the 30K millionaire's of Addison were confused. They didn't know where to go to over pay for Heineken and Corona, or where to lines in the bathroom, or hit on large groups of "Woo girls" with a lick their lips lear. For the love of humanity will someone please open these bars back up!!! Wins best place to find a women past her prime hitting on a young guy next to a guy in his 50's wearing Affliction and True Religion jeans talking to a young girl. Best Place to see Jager Bombs every 5 minutes, Best place to see fights breaking out, and Best place to fake a conversation with a band who thinks they are great playing way to loud as both the women past her prime and Affliction 50's guy sing Foreigner in unison.
