Jason Boso was ahead of the pack in 2006 when he and fellow culinary-school grads Quincy Hart and Steve Thompson co-founded Twisted Root Burger Co. in Dallas, one of the early high-quality, chef-driven burger bars. Last weekend Boso opened his latest concept, Truck Yard, in a 15,000-square-foot lot in Dallas’s Lower Greenville neighborhood. The place is like a sprawling backyard with picnic tables, fire puts and a converted mechanic’s shed turned bar and Steak Me Home Tonight, where they’re cooking sliced rib-eye cheesesteak sandwiches. BurgerBusiness.com pulled Boso away from the cheesesteak grill for a few minutes to give the lowdown on Truck Yard and its meaning for Twisted Root.

at the same time, i can't be surprised that someone else came up with the same awful idea

Nhex, Tuesday, 17 September 2013 16:41 (ten years ago) link

i was kind of hoping they had actually based dave on this guy

'quincy hart'

man i thought the last season was kind of treading water but now that fall is here i'm pretty bummed there's no s4

I've seen muffin tops in bakeries and wondered whether they come about from the Seinfeld episode.

Still got the last two episodes saved unwatched, to break out in emergency ice cream/TV/loneliness moment

Good news! S3 is available at Amazon.
Bad news! It's apparently a feature free, made on demand, dvd-r set. And it's $40.

So they're marathon airing this on VH1 today (of all places). I'm so envious for my friend who's seeing it for the first time.

Cereal. Killed it. No spoon. (Johnny Fever), Wednesday, 1 January 2014 18:23 (ten years ago) link

Yeah, it started last night, watched about 5 episodes, none of which I'd seen before. Apparently, I missed the whole first season or something. But damn, shit was hilarious right out of the gate.

Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Wednesday, 1 January 2014 18:38 (ten years ago) link

yeah i was home last night and realized the marathon was on around 11pm, and other than tuning to one of the major networks for the NYE countdown i just had Happy Endings on for like 3 hours straight last night

ol' Wrink P's thinkpiece (some dude), Wednesday, 1 January 2014 18:45 (ten years ago) link

Alex definitely took a while to become hilarious but otherwise the show was funny right out of the gate

ol' Wrink P's thinkpiece (some dude), Wednesday, 1 January 2014 18:45 (ten years ago) link

to borrow your phrase lol

ol' Wrink P's thinkpiece (some dude), Wednesday, 1 January 2014 18:46 (ten years ago) link

I miss this show so much :(

Murgatroid, Wednesday, 1 January 2014 18:55 (ten years ago) link

Showed my wife half of the second season and she wasn't impressed. Considering divorce tbh :(

bizarro gazzara, Wednesday, 1 January 2014 20:53 (ten years ago) link

lol

Nhex, Wednesday, 1 January 2014 20:59 (ten years ago) link

if i dig pally on this show should i start watching the mindy project? ilx doesn't seem to be super stoked on the mindy project

hug niceman (psychgawsple), Tuesday, 7 January 2014 20:12 (ten years ago) link

he's not as funny on mindy as he was on happy endings but he's still funny + it's a good show so yes u should watch

Mordy , Tuesday, 7 January 2014 20:18 (ten years ago) link

Mindy Project is much, much funnier now than it originally was

SHAUN (DJP), Tuesday, 7 January 2014 20:24 (ten years ago) link

yeah, definitely one of the most improved new shows of the last couple seasons, don't let early ilx posts before it found its footing scare you off

some dude, Tuesday, 7 January 2014 20:25 (ten years ago) link

I still need to watch the first season of HE in full; I didn't really get into the show until season 2

I still marvel at how it morphed from being a show about relatively normal Dave and Alex and their zany friends into Dave and Alex arguably being the craziest people in the group

SHAUN (DJP), Tuesday, 7 January 2014 20:28 (ten years ago) link

Dave is clearly unstable.

Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 7 January 2014 20:32 (ten years ago) link

xps - k, i'll have to give it a shot

hug niceman (psychgawsple), Tuesday, 7 January 2014 20:35 (ten years ago) link

Mindy Project's funny in that it can't decide whether its a wacky ensemble comedy about a ob-gyn clinic (pally's great but OMG who thought they needed another goofball?) or a show about the romantic life of the titular character from her pov. It rarely succeeds in seamlessly melding the two directions, but I find both worlds so enjoyable that the friction doesn't keep me from watching or anything.

da croupier, Tuesday, 7 January 2014 20:43 (ten years ago) link

^^^ OTM

SHAUN (DJP), Tuesday, 7 January 2014 20:44 (ten years ago) link

xp i agree with the first part of your assessment, but it's kind of left me indifferent more often than not. it's got some good jokes, i'll give it, but i still feels like it's "finding its footing" as a show

Nhex, Tuesday, 7 January 2014 20:45 (ten years ago) link

that's the thing - as they never stop bringing in boyfriends or wacky new employees, i don't think it ever will! But I love the goofballs (even if they're scrambling to fit them all in an episode) and find Mindy & Michael to be really rich, novel leads for the romantic angle. If one of the parts didn't work for me (which seems to be the case for a lot of people), the chafing prob would keep me from watching.

da croupier, Tuesday, 7 January 2014 20:48 (ten years ago) link

mindy project exceptionally funny tnite

Mordy , Wednesday, 8 January 2014 03:11 (ten years ago) link

The creator of Happy Endings has a new show that's gonna be on NBC, so this won't last long: http://tvline.com/2014/01/08/marry-me-nbc-pilot-happy-endings-david-caspe/

Murgatroid, Wednesday, 8 January 2014 22:00 (ten years ago) link

too bad Wayans Jr is already on New Girl, otherwise they could just cast him and Coupe

SHAUN (DJP), Wednesday, 8 January 2014 22:03 (ten years ago) link

Oh, I knew Casey Wilson got engaged, but I didn't realize it was to the guy who created Happy Endings. Anyway, as inferred in the article, I hope she winds up on the show.

Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 8 January 2014 22:04 (ten years ago) link

otherwise they could just cast him and Coupe

That would be perfect.

Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 8 January 2014 22:04 (ten years ago) link

Wayans is only guest starring on New Girl this season though, right?

kinder, Wednesday, 8 January 2014 22:31 (ten years ago) link

xp He's got some kind of single dad pilot in the works iirc.

Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 8 January 2014 22:33 (ten years ago) link

i can't remember if he's in the credits (new girl barely has credits right?) but he's in the promo stuff w/ the other cast members. i think he's a recurring guest star or whatever heather locklear was on melrose place and whether he's on the show next year depends on whether his pilot gets picked up. i hope he stays tbh, he works well on the show and there's something quietly radical about having more than one 'black guy' in the gang.

Hey guys, every ep is now streaming on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/user/HappyEndingsFull/videos

Murgatroid, Thursday, 23 January 2014 16:23 (ten years ago) link

Wish it was Netflix so I could bug someone to watch it - don't think YouTube's gonna cut it. But cool anyways

Nhex, Thursday, 23 January 2014 16:37 (ten years ago) link
