Welcome back to the mail-in podcast.

I'm your host, Brett Mann, and to my right, the lovely, the one and only, the particularly

blue today, Sally to Freeze. Hey, Sally. Hi. How are you? I'm great. I'm on my last two

days of being 32. Oh my gosh. Yeah. So your birthday is Friday. Happy almost birthday.

Let me be the first to wish you a happy, honest birthday. What are you doing? My birthday.

Going to age town. Going to a meet-up. I guess I'm going to go. It is. The old stopping

ground, Sally back in Houston, where she used to pregame to fix you. No, we've pregame to fix

you in college. I guess that would have been awesome. You did do a, I guess, an early birthday

celebration last night, didn't you? Yes. And that involved something I'm curious about.

Based on what will your husband has said, you basically went to a pasta bar that acts

like an omakase sushi restaurant. Yes. Can you explain that concept?

So it's literally called pasta bar. And the people who started it also have a concept called

sushi bar that I think started in LA. I don't know if it's called the same thing. And then

was brought to Austin has a sushi omakase. So it was like, you know, 12 seats, however many

courses, what are. And they changed the concept to pasta. And they make all this like handmade pasta.

And I'd been seeing people post about it. And you have to buy tickets because it's obviously like,

they only do three seedings a night. It's like five o'clock, seven o'clock, and nine thirty. You're

like five o'clock, seven, fifteen, and nine thirty. And you have to buy your reservation,

basically, like it's $25 to like secure seat. And then obviously the tasting menu is,

it was a little expensive. A little pricey. But I bought these tickets like a month ago. And I was

like, well, like you can't ever go on like a Friday or sorry, because those sell out immediately.

And I guess they release all the reservations on like the first of the month.
