Accidentally got the wrong version of a book (using a different narrator). Help chat basically said your SOL and couldn’t do anything about it? Has anyone had other luck with this?
Its by far my favorite song, as a big fan of Zappa and musicianship. Always sad to hear Weird Al never played it live. I totally get why, but still think they should give their best shot even though it wouldn't be quite the same as the album.
These kids crushed it
I know that TM they are somewhat close with Alex because he did the voice over last Game Changer. I also know that TM is probably off the table because it may already be owned by the network that tried (and failed) to put it on in America.
But i feel like Would i lie to you? would be perfect for Dropout. They already have Dirty Laundry, I feel like WILTY is just a better format of Dirty Laundry. Dropout has some insane talent that are quick and clever. Like you could have Ally andd Jacob be the two captains and get various dropout talent and then other peripheral people from that sphere guest.
I just feel like WILTY is tailor made for dropout audience and for dropout talent.
Now they don’t really have much other than croissants. They have the variety of croisssnts and then these smaller ones dipped in various coatings. This one is cookies and cream.

Tanta used to be one of our spots in Chicago that my wife and I would take visitors to. It was a reliable place of amazing food, atmosphere and drinks. After COVID we had multiple experiences that led us to never return.
I was recently invited to try Tanta again. In full disclosure we were given a gift card to help pay for the meal, but this is an honest review.
I got the passion fruit Pisco Sour to start (my only drink of thie night, but that's normal for me. One and done kinda guy most of the time). It was perfect balance of flavors, sweetness and alcohol. I do have a propensity to love anything Passion Fruit related, and this drink hit all the right balance of flavors for me. ($19).
My wife got a rose, which she also enjoyed (as i am not her i cannot give more details ha) ($15)
Appteitzer:
#1 - Taro chips (to pair nicely with the ceviche at #2). But they were freshly made, with a great dipping sauce. ($6)
#2 Limeno Ceviche (shrimp, squid, octopus, white fish, ají amarillo leche de tigre, choclo, cancha, red onions, cilantro) ($29).
The fried calamari on top was an interesting blend to traditional ceviche, but ended up being a smash hit for us, we really enjoyed the dish. The only negative was that the fish chunks were bigger than traditional ceviche, but thats nitpicking, because we had knives that could make the chunks smaller :D
Main dish:
#1 - Aeropuerto (beef tenderloin wok stir-fried rice, veggies, shrimp, omelette, scallions, sesame seeds, sweet chili sauce) ($35)
One of our old favorites that had previously been decreased in quality -- it's back to form. Balanced dish of flavors with the sauce not overriding the dish. Tender beef, well cooked shrimp and eggs.
#2 - Lamb Chop Anticucheras (australian margra lamb chop, anticuchera, peruvian yellow potaoes, choclo butter, chimichurri, huacatay sauce) ($68)
The most expensive item we ordered (and i think one of the priciest on the menu besides the $100 20 oz prime steak(. Was totally worth the cost - 4 large lamb chops with plenty of meat on it. well seasoned and just enough sauce to give it a little more umph.
Overall we felt that Tanta was back to its old form. Like most restaurants in River North area, it's a little expensive. But UNLIKE a lot of other places, the portion sizes we felt were generous and found that we got a great value out of the meal. As two people, we probably didn't need to even order two different main dishes because of how much food there was. Total cost (without tip): $190.
If that price tag is high for some, keep in mind we could have gotten away cheaper if we didn't get a 2nd main dish and of course we got drinks at the start.
Regardless we will be back and now bring more people with us and get back to enjoying this place.
Also we were sat on the rooftop, and it was gorgeous. Well shaded for the time of year/day we went (July 6:00) and was a fun vibe.
The Thursday 5:00 deep attack tournament ($250 buy in), does anyone know how many entires it generally gets?
I'm nervous lol.
