Who or what is Molly Yeh?  What kind of food?  

Not sure what type of restaurant, but Molly is a local celebrity of sorts.

Columbia Commons (strip anchored by Crooked Pint and First Int'l Bank) is now flashing "Famous Dave's Coming Soon" on its electronic signboard.

Although there aren't many vacant stalls, and seemingly none large enough.  Build-out in parking lot, perhaps?

Good potential here and addresses to some aspect the largest problem in the industry now.... staffing.

So, by my count there are 6 new restaurants coming to town. But the ones that are here apparently have significant staffing problems and many are limiting hours and closing Sundays  because of those problems. I’ve heard rumors that a few of the new restaurants are physically ready to open but can’t because of staff problems. Wonder how this is going to work out in the end. More closures ala Sickies?

That's the same as L&M.

....A quick search of the Googler says Aldi's has surprisingly good steaks.

Yes. It has always happened, even before the "staffing issues."

Bars and restaurants are famous for their constant closures and openings.

The new Famous Dave's in GF sits on the site of a bar that closed and was torn down.

Sickies replaced a closed bar/restaurant. 

And the cycle repeats.

I don’t shop there, but I have heard that Sams Club has really good steaks.

Happy Labor Day Weekend. 

If you haven't tried the "reverse sear" method of grilling your steaks.

This weekend is the perfect chance.

It'll change the way you grill forever.

It's one thing the gas grill with temp control and different height racks does better.

Try this:

Salt the steak heavily and give it at least a 24hr dry age in the fridge(up to 72hr), then sous vide for a couple hours at 120-130, finally finish on a grill or a cast iron/carbon steel pan with lots of butter. The sous vide can be done the day before. Just let the cooked steaks come up to room temperature before finishing them on the grill/in the pan.

The method is basically reverse sear on steroids. My god it's good.

Add an hour or two of cold smoke before sous vide to up the flavor.

Hit up the Pizza Ranch for the first time in forever, and it appears they've expanded to include a large arcade and additional party rooms.

I wonder where they will be located?  It would be nice to have some restaurants on the south side of town.   I have eaten at several Freddy's always good food and different fast food then your typical fast food restaurant.

Columbia and Washington each between 32nd and 47th seem ripe for commercial/retail/restaurant expansion.
