Ike's looks like a close relative, if not the same, probably no different than the different versions in Cincy.  Folks have favorites, Gold Star, Skyline are the two more prominent chains there.

Anyway, I had my "fill" as it were for a year or more.

Chili is not big around here apparently beyond a hot dog topping at times.  Brunswick stew is far more common (and better in my view versus commercial chili).  On our recent trip, we had Japanese in Cincy for one lunch, Chinese for one dinner, Thai for another lunch, and Chinese for another dinner.  Then we had sushi just now for lunch (from Kroger, which has remarkably good sushi, better than the Shell stations)...
Ike's dates to 1908, and I think they've been using the same mild (by my standards) chili recipe all this time. Funny, back in those days, it was considered quite hot.
About "good sushi," I do not like fish in general, so there's no way I could like uncooked fish wrapped in seaweed.
However, I won't argue that the world has to follow my culinary preferences.

We avoid the seaweed sushi, ours is wrapped in rice only.  We also like Sashimi and Nigiri.

I love sushi.  After spending almost a year in France off and on, and then working closely with and entertaining Chinese suppliers for over a decade, I'm open to eating just about anything.

I don't like liver, at all, that's really it.  I even had seiche once.  Wasn't great really.  Popular in southern France.

My wife loves caviar but maybe it's because of the panache, not the flavor.  I can eat it, but it's not nearly worth the price, to me.  I let her have it.  Escargot I like quite a bit, often order it, but it can take a while to get served ...

Yeah it can take a while to go dig out the snails from under the front porch steps.

OU beat Iowa State 9-0 in 5 innings today in the Big 12 softball tournament.

So the top 5 win streaks in NCAA softball history are now:
1. Arizona - 47 (1996-97).
2. OU - 42 and counting (2023), the longest single-season streak.
2. OU - 41 (2019).
4. OU - 40 (2021-22) 38-0 to open the season is the longest win streak to start a season without a loss.
4. OU - 40 (2020-21) had a 40-game win streak, includes seven games from the Covid-shortened 2020 season.

#7 Texas plays Kansas at 4:00 today. After the Horns' comeback win over Tech yesterday, I think they've clinched hosting a super-regional.
#8 Oklahoma State was beaten 8-7 by Kansas this morning in the continuation of last night's rain-halted game. That's the Cowgirls' 11th loss in their last 13 games. I suspect that they have played themselves out of hosting a super-regional.

Nebraska plays #19 Northwestern this evening in the B1G tournament.

Tulsa has beaten Houston and Wichita State in the AAC tournament, possibly stealing an NCAA tournament berth.

In a game that captured the nation's attention, Army beat Bucknell 3-2 in the Patriot League tournament.

OU run-ruled Iowa State 9-0 and Texas run-ruled Kansas 9-1 today.

Blech! I don't get that channel.

Sooners win the championship game and will surely be the overall #1 seed. OU's winning streak has reached 43 games.

I think that Texas will be in the top 8 and OSU be just outside the top 8--about #12.

Tennessee beat 10th-seeded USC-E 3-1 to win the SEC tournament. If USC-E could have their reliever, Gobourne, pitch every inning of every game, they'd be really good. She pitched about 18 innings over the last 3 days and didn't allow a run.

Tulsa lost big (9-1, I think) to UCF (I think) in the AAC championship game. Tulsa finished 25-28, so their season is over.

UCLA may have the #2 overall seed locked up even if they don't beat Utah in the Pac-12 championship game tonight.

Florida State was national #3 before the conference tournaments, and they won the ACC tournament, so they'll probably do no worse than being the #3 overall seed. Tennessee was the national #4 before the conference tournament, and they won the SEC tournament, so they'll probably be the #4 overall seed.

Rats! Boston U. beat Army in the Patriot League tournament-championship game.

Coffee is good.

Ever seen a coffee plant in the wild?  Not much to look at except pretty when blooming.  Kona snow.

I'm disappointed.  We're slipping.

Odd outcome in the NCAA Softball Tournament seedings.

On 9 May, before the conference tournaments, Texas and OSU were ranked like this:

7  Texas        40-12-1
8  Okla. State  41-13

Since then, OSU went 0-1 while Texas went 2-1 in the Big 12 Tournament.


So, for the NCAA Tournament, OSU is seeded #6 while Texas drops to #13.

Weird.
