They opened a Just Jeff's down south and my main problem is that it's essentially a 5-guys or Mad Cow burger that comes with shitty crinkle cut fries instead of the good hand-sliced ones at 5-guys or Mad Cow. I have friends that swear by it as well but the fries are so lousy (and all they sell is canned soda that costs too damn much) that I'll just head to Mad Cow instead. What am I not doing right here? I don't see the fascination.
I have tried so hard to not like Las Margs because the cult surrounding that place just pisses me off. But I've come to the reluctant conclusion that yes - it is the best Mexican food joint in town. Especially since Agave's 70 frontage location closed and the one off range-line has fallen off substantially over the last year or so.

All this Columbia talk is getting me nostalgic.
As far as Booche's goes, I'm still a fan. Ate there back in June when I was in town for an alumni golf tournament. I'm basically the opposite of you...don't think Shakespear's is anything special and still crave the Booche's burger. I've heard a couple people mention Billiards on Broadway so I'll have to check it out...will be back again in October.
Somebody mentioned Smokin' Chicks. I can't freaking believe that place is still around. Chick used to smoke meat for the bar I worked at (Sudsucker's/Big 12) back in the day. He hadn't opened a restaurant yet but I think he did out south right after I left Como. Blows my mind that the guy is still in business...his BBQ was good no doubt but he was dumber than a box of rocks and totally lazy. That being said, his only BBQ competition at the time was Bandana's and that place is just god awful.
These days when I'm in town for games or golf, I usually don't leave the downtown area where we stay so I need to get out and try some of the new spots. I still hit up Murry's but thats about as far south as I ever get.
