Barcelona is laid out very well for pedestrians, very wide streets and some good bike lanes (the diagonal street for sure), but I've only been there to visit friends & fam. Drunk driving though, is a thing still.

I've been in the business (cooking) for 35+ years, and we just had to be very careful with finances, had some great neighborhood support, and good food with good prices and it just kept rolling along...not a smooth ride but we're in a great place now, a lot of places had to keep thier personnel which absolutely sunk them....we hadn't hired anyone yet and still only have a part time server in the summer high season.

I watched the Bear until I saw them cooking and only tasting the food after they completed the test plate up.... ridiculousness.

The Menu, however, is a beautiful film.

OH, also, make sure you have tire liners, helps a lot saving you from flats.(Between the tube and inside of the tire)

I'll check out the movie.

A bicycle freak of mine said that it might be better to go for tyre repair gel instead, as you don't have the effect on rolling resistence. It's like this spray that automatically fills the hole.

I remember cycling in Barcelona on one of those e bikes. I know I looked like a total tourist and I loved it. And the shop actually told me to drive only on the sidewalks. I actually tried it but it's impossible!

Just started the movie. First of all that girl is unrefined. She's also too pretty. And someone is definitely going to die. Maybe everyone except her.

OK don't watch this when smoking haze

OK I've been thinking about this, just so you know I'm not a complete psychopath, the movie is great because of it's absurdity...not because this is a chefs fantasy.

It's pretty amazing that the cooks were prepared to give up their lives to kill some bad people. I didn't count but maybe it's one to one.
